ClaroPDF Pro – Text to Speech

No, no, no why would you do that!!! I use the app to read science research papers, to be in anyway readable I have to turn the phone to landscape mode. If you confine the app to portrait mode it will be unusable to me. I will not be updating until you roll that back. What numpty came up with that idea? Do you even consider asking your users how they actually use the app. I am seriously not happy, I use the App every day, and this mod will scupper me!!

Works and uses given credits to convert to speech, can’t see how much credit but going by research it might be 5000 which should last me a while, can’t put on auto replay which is inconvenient to me as I wanted to replay to learn

The app is more stabler than ever. Just the annoying blotchy highlighter when highlighting while speech is going. Otherwise no big deal. This app is second to none. Being a PHD student and dyslexic would have been a perfect recipe for failure. Claro on my 12.9 iPad Pro has been a God send.

This is a great piece of assistive technology -I'm currently doing my masters, and this is my life safer with the amount of reading that I have to do!

Again the best PDF reader and processor on iOS

Unfortunately on iOS8 when you select speak in background and lock the screen it doesn't read properly (it seems to read half sentences?) shame because this was an amazing app for listening to PDFs on the go with the power to create notes and then upload to Dropbox!

**UPDATE** Very fast update to correct a startup bug. **FEATURE REQUEST** Persistant zoom so you do not have to every page of a document individually. Black background yellow text please, with easy switching to colour profiles. This is a superb app and with a few added features would rate as the best document reader available. Its pdf rendering is very fast compared to Pdf pro and Goodreader. ---- This is an excellent app but is lacking in a few vital features. 1. The need for a black backgroud and yellow text for those of us who suffer with bright screens. 2. When reading the word is highlighted of screen if you have zoomed in to be able to read the text. 3. The in document menus are standard ios menus so are too small. 4. A bookmark to continue reading where you leave off. Otherwise brilliant. Please do think about these features.

I use Kurzweil 3000 on my Mac, and have been using Blio on my iPad. I found this app as I was looking for a replacement for Blio. Why? Blio will not allow you to use text-to-speech with a PDF and converting a PDF to EPUB using Calibre ruins the paragraph structure. Because this app reads actual PDFs aloud, rather than having to convert them, I was very pleased as I am studying Zoology and have a print disability. All of my course material is in lengthy PDF files, so this app, with its adjustable highlight and background colour seemed perfect. However... Unless I I am missing something very obvious (humble pie if I am...), I can not see a way of pausing, and reading from where I left off. Instead, reading commences right from the beginning of the PDF again... This is really annoying and I am just glad that I am not studying English as War & Peace may take a while, and poor Jane Eyre would forever be in the window seat. I take this all back if I am missing something obvious. However, if I am not, please please could we have an update to rectify this, and to make bookmarks. I have cerebral palsy and need an app like this, so would happily pay more for an updated version to address this issue. Again, thanks for this app, and apologies if I have missed something obvious that enables you to read from where you left off. Sarah Cornwall, England

Hi, I am a long-time user of this app. I have been using this app since 2014. I noticed that the recent software update is making the app crash all the time. I open a document and tap on a spot (for it to start reading) then the app crashes. This is happening over and over again. I am not sure why, because this app used to work very well earlier. Can you please fix this?

Best app for you’r children with dis ability’s
