Ratings and Reviews
Add pause features at commas
I just downloaded this and I am excited to use it with some students who stutter and clutter. However, I would like the developers to add a pause feature for the comma and not just for the period. It would also be nice to allow the user to add commas to the reading selection to practice more frequent pausing.
Developer Response ,
Hi Laura, thank you for your review. Speech Pacesetter does now a include a pause feature at commas and you can add extra commas to your own texts to practice more frequent pausing.
App serves a purpose
For it's main purpose, the app works and it's great for me to help with my speech, but the price tag is INCREDIBLY expensive for what it does and needs more built in passages than just those listed and a place to paste a custom passage in. Design could use an overhaul and it sometimes is a tad buggy.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. There is a Pasteboard which allows the user to paste in their own text. We will also be updating the app with new features.
Overpriced and underwhelming
I purchased this app cause for $15 I was expecting a easy to use pace training app. In reality, this app has very minimal functionality beyond highlighting words at a certain pace. The exercise is helpful but certainly not worth $15
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. Speech Pacesetter helps the user to slow their rate of speech by highlighting each word or syllable at an adjustable speech. It has a collection of poems and stories and it also allows you to add and save your own texts. I'm glad you find the exercise helpful and I'm sorry you don't feel it is worth the current pricing. If there is anything in particular you feel would be of additional benefit in the app, please do let us know. Please email lorraine@aptus-slt.com. Many thanks.
