Listening: Text to Speech

It‘s a decent enough idea, however the text to speech feature only works well when uploading documents with little tables and equations. Also, the way the voice deals with hyphenated words is very jarring. Finally, while from a cost perspective the price is understandable, the value for 20€ a month is questionable. Unless you really need to listen to a ton of pdfs, audible for audiobooks + podcasts has you covered for a much lower price and much better quality

Firstly, if you do research with calcium as second messenger, you‘ll hear a lot of „California“ instead of Ca2+ for whatever reason. Secondly, the reading is really weird - one sentence sounds like 10 individual sentences making it super hard to follow the content. The app is good, however it is not usable for me due to the confusing reading quality.

I love the voices on this app they sound more natural then the reading websites my instructors give but it bugs and lags a lot. I like to listen to with it sped up and it lags even more. Sometimes it takes forever to scroll and it takes like 10 seconds just to read the next word sometimes.

I haven't been able to use the app/subscription in any meaningful way. The 'app' itself shows up as a blank screen and I have to go to the website to use. Even then it is not work the $99 annual fee that I paid. I have sent a support request through the website and no response. Seriously considering taking the loss and just switching to Speechify

This app wouldn't even let preview it. It seems like it might be a good deal but when I actually paid for it, it was super slow converting text to speech compared to every other speech converter previewed. Also it doesn't give you the ability to paste text into ai note so that's really important because that's what I actually use it for.

I like to listen to nonfiction articles and sometimes academic papers with a strong humanities and social sciences bent. So far it is serving it’s purpose well with a fair yearly price point. The price point compared to competitors was one of the deciding factors for me. Some features I would recommend to enhance user experience: on conversions of online articles keep the source url accessible after conversion. Also, enhance search capabilities. Can the content in addition to titles be searchable? For notes as well? thank you

I love the program but I definitely feel like there should be a few more features, such as the ability to create folders for files and highlight certain texts to go with our notes.

Buyer beware. I hardly used the service and got an annual renewal charge notification from my credit card. I immediately cancelled the same day. This was a exactly 1 year after subscribing. There was no confirmation other than the webpage, which I unfortunately didn’t screenshot. I left messages at the provided number but got no response and haven’t been able to contact the company in any way.

Good
