Text to Speech: Reading Aloud

Very disappointing as downloaded document and couldn’t get past the 1st text screen.

I tried to play a pdf file and the app was glitching. It would repeat phrases 2 or 3 times. Then skip over whole sentences. And the text that was highlighted was at least 2 or 3 paragraphs ahead of what it was saying

First things first: GET THIS APP AND JUST GO AHEAD AND GET PREMIUM. So I am someone w/ depression & ADHD to a point where I have a type of dyslexia and basically can hardly read anymore. I realized I needed something like podcasts to get my reading in & found speechify originally. It helped massively so I finally knew what I needed to do. I wasn’t just looking for speechify in particular & when I found that app it was just one of the MANY of these apps I downloaded to try and I’m glad I did that bc I found this app. I actually like it way better then speechify and am so glad to have found it! I highly recommend it. In fact, I’ve already recommended it to a few people including my therapist! This app will prove to be the best $10.99 a year investment I make every single year. I can already tell it’s going to change my life as after just a week it’s led to significant progress in my Master’s studies. Now, the reasons I subtracted a star: 1. Needs the ability to play in the background. That’s a crucial feature that is needed. 2. I wish, like other apps, it’d keep the uploaded file in the same format and function highlighting across those pages. I’ve had that feature in many of the other apps I tried, even the free ones. 3. More flexible speed variability options. If I wanted to be nitpicky: I’d love more voice options, but there are 3 very good, usable options & the one I use is great (the one I use is the closest to apps like Peech & Speechify which do have some great voices for readers, but tbf those have been around longer, are much larger/more mainstream, & needlessly WAY more expensive while still being limited usage-which is ridiculous, so this is a lesser just a want sort of thing, but if you don’t put it out there it’ll never happen if it can happen. Again. Get it. You won’t regret it.

The most important thing I can tell you is that this app flawlessly converts any text into spoken words, regardless of the language. Congratulations to its developers.

This is my favorite app for reading aloud while I follow the text along, so its automatic scrolling feature is genius and that's why I wouldn't change this app.

I have been trying to cancel this and it keeps billing me! The support button also does not work in the app. I am not happy and want to be refunded!

Is there a way to change the voice of the AI?

Voices are very poor and sound super synthetic. Maybe not a problem if you don’t care about this but if you’re looking for a realistic, Sandy voices, this is not the way to go.

I had gotten the app since it was very good at the beginning but as I was using it-it became very glitchy and would only read for a few seconds and stop. Or would start reading the same thing over again.

You simply scan the pages and it reads for you. You can change it to whatever speed you want and there are a lot of other options to scan pages as well like uploading pdf and pasting text. It’s so helpful and time-saving. Love this!!!
