Voice Aloud Reader: Narrator

This app is free and just as good if not better than the expensive apps like speechify. My only complaint is that sometimes the app will only play if I leave the app open with my screen still on which I think is a glitch. Other than that it’s amazing.

Lo útil es que funciona sin internet. Espero que le pongan para escanear pagina y así crear audiolibros.

Edit: i updated to ios17 and when i turn my phone off, the background play pauses. It’s really annoying since sometimes it pauses and othertimes it’ll continue playing, and I can’t figure out what’s triggering it specifically. I use it to listen to my epubs and the voices are all standard iPhone AI voices. They work just fine, and you could listen to any amount for free, offline, and off app. I have two stories uploaded, both well over 400k words, and I’ve been a happy listener since. Though, the sizes are so huge the book files are separated into parts. There IS a subscription premium, but that’s only if you want to make an audio file from your files to save somewhere else without any character limits. But you don’t really need it if you plan to listen on your phone. If I could suggest any improvements, they’d be minor like the ability to create folders or different file views as they’re only in list form right now.

Great app. Thanks for developing it! Request: would be great if we could have an option in Settings that would allow us to have the narrator’s voice skip predefined parts of a text. I’m using this app to have it read lots of texts that have numbered citations and verse numbers and the app reads the texts but it also reads the numbers too because it doesn’t know that I doesn’t need to read them out loud. Example: rather than reading only the words in a bible verse, it reads the number of the verse too.

Literally go on LibGen, download an epub of whatever, listen to it like an audiobook. Rinse and repeat. Been looking for an app like this. 🤙
