Listening: Text to Speech

I cancelled my trial on the same day I started it and checked the instructions on their website. They’ve still been charging my credit card and did so without any emails to say they were charging. Don’t fall for their free trial ad.

only one robotic voice. reads all footnotes and in text references. pronounces words wrong. so expensive and only one subscription option. there are lots of free reader that perform the same.

Was so looking forward to this being awesome but it is terrible! It reads the markup code and the embedded keywords in a PDF. The files also take a long time to upload. It's a waste of time. Not worth the subscription price.

I was excited, but quickly lost faith when the app read the header and other extra information. I heard the DOI read a few times, completely destroying at coherent thoughts. A bit hard to navigate (e.g. pausing and trying to visually skim the text in the previous sentence/paragraph was impossible). Would be nice to have the original pdf loaded in the app for glancing at figures and tables. I’ll check back in a few months/year.

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.
