Speechify Text to Speech Audio

my dyslexia is killing me in degree program but this app helps. thank you!

I have been listening to my homework for studying, and it said that my file was 19 minutes long. I listened to it and thought that it seemed longer than that, so I tested it out, and used my phone to measure how long a “minute” took on the app. The minute was actually 1 minute and 22 seconds, which is a pretty big difference. Overall I like this app, but I am annoyed that the time it shows me is not actually accurate

The highlighter misses when in slide mode

For about a week now, the app has been buffering, crashing, freezing and glitching, to the point that it is unusable. I’ve contacted the support team but due to time zones I have not gotten a chance to get any help. I use the app every day so this is quite the issue. I put no blame of the support team, but I’m starting to get frustrated(with the app itself, not any people or employees) when it keeps acting up no matter what I do. I contacted ‘Sheila’ but I haven’t heard back from her. Please please please(!!!!) help me with this!

Not sure why I paid for premium, because even though it wasn’t advertised anywhere, there’s a monthly word limit. Once you hit it, your left with an ungodly robotic voice that’s not even worth listening to. I absolutely regret paying for the (hefty) premium knowing this! I love the app otherwise and use it often, but hate that I’ve paid for “premium” and yet am still limited on how much I can use.

The set up for this app is infuriating. Especially because you can’t skip past it. I already have an account with speechify and all I wanted to do was open it on my phone. But I ended up needing to sit through Gwyneth, Snoop Dogg, MrBeast, and everybody presenting themselves to me like I’ve never use the app before.

Kept getting sidetracked. Now audio keeps me focused. Different voices too

When I started my free trial, I absolutely loved this app. I loved that I could log into my kindle and read the epub files I uploaded to my Kindle and switch from male to female voices. Occasionally it would read the last word of a sentence and go back to read from the beginning of the sentence (and not finish the sentence since the end was read first) which would confuse me if I wasn’t looking at the app as it was reading. Then I updated my iOS system and the app and things went down hill from there…I can still read books in my kindle, but I can no longer read the epub files I loaded to my kindle. Instead I have to load them to the actual Speechify app (which can be time consuming and takes up space). Not only that but the previous issue I stated above is happening way more frequently than before (but only when I read from my kindle books, if I upload anything to the Speechify I don’t have that problem). If I am reading from my kindle, there are times when I open it that it doesn’t sync to the last page I was on and will show the beginning of the book, but it will start reading where I left off and won’t let me click on the section to choose from the table of contents or wherever I want to start reading, it won’t let me click to change the voice or pause/play it. There are also times where it will read a sentence and then stop reading and act like it’s loading but when I press play it will reread the paragraph it just read. When you contact support, it says they will be in touch within 24 hours. Which was true until I tried to contact them on a weekend and I haven’t heard anything yet after the 24 hours. When I did get an answer back from my first point of contact, I made sure to state that both my iOS system and the speechify app were up to date. The first thing that was stated in the response to me was “make sure both your iOS system and the speechify app are updated to the current version” followed with steps to check both. When I reported back that I had already done so, I got back “delete the app and reinstall.” When I did that, I had to go through the introduction to the app about ratings, yada yada and select my gender before I could access the login page. Then it wouldn’t let me log in with my email and password. So I ended up having to change my password twice because it kept telling me that I was entering the incorrect information. Which meant I couldn’t login to my account…annoying! When I sent an email to support, I got told that I should re

I think the app is a better option not a lot of detail design in an out of tech whole thing is better than a computer.

This app has a lot going for it, the paywall though makes it’s unusable especially for those who would greatly benefit- poor college students who don’t have time to read thousands of pages because they have to work so much
