Listening: Text to Speech

Should be free

Doesn’t work

The app is great and very useful. However, it is consuming too much data. When I login on a device, it downloads every single book I have uploaded. There should be an option for me decide what I need now and keep others for later when on Wi-Fi, so I don’t lose data. Internet Data is expensive!!!

When I initially signed up, I was sceptical of its claims… But it made a perfect audio out of the paper! Except for a minor misplaced words like i i instead of two, the audio was perfect. Great for listening to books, as most subject (technical) books are missing in Audible… Simply perfect except that it needs to run on background for book processing,never mind audio playback

Unlike other audio apps.. it’s stopping by itself when my phone is inactive, please help

Overall it serves the purpose. I’d like it to recognize punctuation better, improve on recognizing how to read numbers in certain contexts (years are read as numbers) certain pronunciations, etc. Additionally, it’s pretty buggy with downloading files that I have shared in the app onto my mobile devices. As a highly auditory person with ADHD this app has been super helpful as I’ve been struggling to stay seated to actually read. Given the bugs, however, seems like the price is kind of high.

I use this to listen to my textbooks at work and to follow along with when I’m lazy or scattered. I don’t like: - Getting signed out when idle (or in the middle of renaming a pdf, which is was prompted me to write this review) - The fact that there is no consistent, reliable way to organize your pdfs. You can tag them, but there’s no way to access those tags on desktop or edit/delete them in general. I want folders to put my things in. It’s obvious. For $120 I don’t get FOLDERS? - I can’t see how long an audio file is once it’s uploaded. Again, this is an obvious flaw. - Does not distinguish between two unrelated texts, so if your pdf is in two columns, it’ll plow right through I do like: - You can skip to specific sections - You can add notes (this function is still extremely basic) - You can jump forward/backward 10 seconds - You can tap on the document to start from a specific word - Doesn’t read in text citations or references (literally the only reason why I decided to subscribe) - Adjustable reading paces I want: - FOLDERS - A way to see how long the audio file is in total - A better way of bookmarking specific passages - Not to be randomly signed out - LOWER COST $120 is robbery - Apple Watch compatibility - More intelligent AI

I originally loved this app but now everytime I try to open it it immediately closes costumer support was just a bot. Very disappointing

The voice I tried was decent. It took longer than I expected to upload the pdf. Main reason why I will not use is that the smoothness of the reading was terribly interrupted by reading super text numbers for citations (often in the wrong place, like it reads them as if they are on a different line). Also the pausing going between lines and other transitions is choppy. Could imagine getting used to it but it needs a lot of work.

Still gets the job done as far as the reading goes.
