Text To Speech: Natural Voices

The voices sound like some weird robotics machine

While it did have all the voices to choose from unlocked and it allowed me to create something and download it (which is why I didn’t give it only 1-star), you only get 5-tries, so if you mess up, they count towards your 5 (I accidentally clicked on an arrow button and it counted as 1 of the 5). Also, just like most of the other txt2voice Apps like this one, the playback sounds Robotic and unnatural. And it seemed to limit the number of characters it would allow? Anyways, it wasn’t the worst app I’ve tried but not good enough to entice me to want to pay for it.

I was looking for a good TTS app that had good natural sounding voices and I found this one. Unfortunately all the voices sounded too robotic. There was no natural word flow and some were so bad that I could barely make out what was being said.

I’m really confused, this was advertised as “natural speach”, Siri sounds more natural than this. It’s very robotic

Awful

Junk

I do not speak, and thought this would be a great app..The voices are nice, but the constant advertising drives me bananas..so I have to get another text to speech app!

Not what I was looking for, must type in text for it to be read aloud. I need something that can scan text and read aloud.

Using this app will cost you $40 a year, which may not seem like a lot, but it is expensive when compared to the free options available (some of what you are paying for is the use of “celebrity” voices). I find the built-in Apple text to speech voices to be pretty good these days, so this is a waste of money. Also, on the free version, at least, it does not seem to continue to read when the screen is turned off. Finally, the sample texts in their screenshots in the App Store are unnecessarily politically charged and offensive.

Every time I would try to listen to what I typed, the whole story would scroll up and down and sometimes the text to speech would be saying a different paragraph and the high lighted part would be on a different paragraph.
