Sort of works...

The app technically works but no matter what voice I set, it still uses a stock robotic voice. This is disappointing since I’ve got myriad other voices installed on my iPad, and I find the stock voice rather grating.

Developer Response ,

This app can use any voice that you install on iPad inside the system settings (except for the Siri voice as only Apple apps can use it). I am not sure if you are satisfied with the quality of those voices or not, but if you bought some 3rd party voices, they work only inside the app from which you have bought them as on iOS there is no system-wide support for the 3rd party voices. If your problem is in picking of some of those voices available in the Settings app, then please contact the support as the app has such a feature.
