WebOutLoud - Text to Speech

As someone who's struggling with low vision and as novel hobbyist this has been a God send, and it's an indispensable part of my life. 100% recommend it and stand behind this product and developer, they're quick to always fix and help whenever the need arises.

This app spams you with ads every minute, it’s incredibly annoying and makes the app borderline unusable. Then it has the audacity to ask you If I’d like to spend money on the app and not even own it. What is wrong with people trying to make a quick buck with subscription services? I have used many similar tts apps in the past, this may be the worst one I’ve used so far, Impressive.

I haven't used a text to speech tool before now but it is game changer for me as I have ADHD and a sensory based nervous system. The audio means my brain can naturally stay a lilttle bit more focused than if I was reading. It also allows me to speed up the audio to match my cognitive processing speed at the time, and allows me to multitask and be more productive (I mainly use this for marking univeristy assignments so I can listen, which I write feedback). Reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that I can never get it to process/use PDF's properly. When I copy and paste the text, it reformats the text and adds in a bunch of spaces, which then make each line be read as a paragraph. Works super well when copying and pasting text from a word document though.

Works add are annoying and I don’t want to pay

This is my go-to reader in the few occasions I need a reader to read directly from the browser as exporting the page doesnt work for whatever non-related reason. I would LOVE for an option for a built in adblock in the browser 🫠 i’m not talking about the “no ads” that are forced onto you by the app - i bought the no ad plan - i’m talking about the browser ads placed by websites. 😩 i know there is reader mode that will get ride of the appearance of ads, but there are a handful of websites that reader mode is not very compatible with and the text gets skipped sometimes.

I use this app to listen to fanfiction. I absolutely love it :-) I have the version with only one voice. It is easy to use and prevents me from having to get multiple apps to listed to my various fanfiction sites.

OK, if this is what the update it’s unnecessary fixing problems I cannot understand but adding a folder for a new content I just confuses me even more having to go back-and-forth between each one if it’s possible could you fix that? I feel like I shouldn’t have to do unnecessary work just to save content.

This app is amazing and I pretty much use it daily. My extreme frustration is with the fact that it freezes constantly at the start of use. I must close the app out 7-8 times before I can even start listening. I find this outrageous when I have written to the developer about this before and have a $120/ year paid subscription. I’ve written to the developer a second time and do hope they rectify the issue so I don’t have to unsubscribe. It is otherwise a REALLY lovely app.

I love it’s features and usefulness to read

I use it to convert text to speech using voices on the iPhone. I prefer the free version over the premium version. When using the premium version, the phone gets hot because it does a lot of processing.
