Please it compatible with IPad

It would be nice to have it fully adapted to iPad.

Absolute Con don’t download

I bought this app to translate papers. I tried several papers and they all ceased at 90%. So I cancelled the 3 day trial within 6 hours and well before the 3 days. They then stole the money from my bank yesterday by making a false claim for money. I contacted my bank who contacted the merchant - they would not refund

Then it actually works this app is great but there always seems to be something wrong with either the website or app not working as they should. Examples include not showering the text while playing the audio, saying you have no files or are offline even when connected to WiFi, crashing and bringing up an error message when attempting to adjust the speech speed. It’s a shame because it it worked properly it would be great but the percentage of time where it does is really impactful. This also seems to be getting worse rather than better over time

Careful!

The app states 3 day free trial but will still charge you regardless! The app offered differing voices on premier, these do not work. The app offer's multiple features h do not work in practice! It may be useful but it doesn't do what it professes or charges you for. Move on!

Junk compared to Speechify

So I registered the trial before going on holiday so it helps me to read. I couldn’t cancel the trial and then now I’m trapped with this application comparatively this is quite buggy. You have no option with voice and then it is quite artificial. The main problem is the way it dissect paragraphs you have no way to read the original document. Additionally the other similar applications you can see the original documents alongside the read allow function and you can read websites as well.

Have found it helpful to assist in keeping up with clinical research without having to spend a long time sat down reading, it’s ideal for car journeys or if sat at home and just to make notes with easier - works for me and it’s good!

You keep taking my money even though I cancelled

I fid the trial subscription but decided this app was not for me. I cancelled the subscription but you keep trying to take money from my bank account!

Best yet

Definitely the best app yet for text-to-speech for academic papers, kudos to all involved

Not worth it

Benjibasire on

United Kingdom

Too expensive for the basic performance that literally your MAC has under the disability feature. It doesn’t worth it at all.

Great idea but too buggy

*Nicole on

United Kingdom

It’s a great idea in concept but the problems I’m consistently having are: 1) The app does not do a good job of splitting the file into chapters. Even when I upload a file that has chapter headings ‘chapter 1:… chapter 2:…’ 2) About 5 minutes into listening I will consistently have the audio cut off and say that it is loading and shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes but I just have to close down the app after about 5 mins and try another day. This makes it impossible to listen to papers like a podcast which is the whole point. If this app worked properly it would be a must have for students and academics.
