Laggy

Baylee0121 on

United States

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.

Blank screen

TonyGaliardi on

United States

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

Wouldn’t recommend

Lost gun on

United States

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.

Good App. Good Price. Feature requests…

United States

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

Great but room for more features

S.Rid on

United States

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.

Document and screenshot everything if you try to cancel.

DiabloGuapo on

United States

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.

Voices

Don’t listen to the ads. Voices are no where near softwares like elevenlabs

Great except accent

KLG6 on

United States

I downloaded this to read scholarly articles and it’s great at skipping the in-text references. The voices sound very natural BUT I wholeheartedly despise that all of the American voices intermittently drop the “r’s” and sound like they’re from Boston. The only workaround I can tolerate is using the British voice so at least it’s consistent. That’s a MAJOR feature request from me, but once that’s fixed this app will be perfect. I love that I can use it on my laptop and then take it in my car and listen through my phone. It picks up right where I left off! One more feature request: offer a “play next” feature so that when I’m driving I can set it to move onto the next article once the current article ends. Thanks! Hope you don’t mind the constructive criticism.
