Version History of Say the Thing

1.89

July 10, 2020

Minor clean up of the UI. Improved pointer support for iPad.

1.86

October 6, 2019

Updated the instructions around adding new voices so that it's accurate for iOS 13. Yep. That's all. Pretty lame, Milhouse.

1.85

September 14, 2019

Updated the app for iOS 13 compatibility. Now includes light and dark mode support when using iOS 13.

1.5

September 15, 2018

Updated for iOS 12. Fixed a bug with the share extension. Now the app continues speaking from where you left off, even if you haven't launched the app in a while. And you can start speaking anywhere in the text by long pressing a word. And I probably added some other unremarkable features... but who can remember at this point? Sorry.

1.4

June 22, 2018

Added a setting to show how much time remains when playing text. It's a little crude, it's not perfectly accurate, but it's free! Woohoo!!! Look on the settings page for details—because it is turned off by default.

1.3

January 4, 2018

Added seek buttons to all size configurations. Fixed a bug with audio ducking. Made the app 4.5% less cruddy.

1.2

December 6, 2017

Added seek forward and seek backward in the control panel and for headphone controls. Added seek buttons and keyboard shortcuts for iPad version. Fixed an embarrassing highlight text bug that is too embarrassing to even discuss... Let's never speak of it again. Thanks! Sorry!

1.1

November 20, 2017

  • Wonderful and Totally FREE!

    This is a simple, fantastic app that reads text aloud. The best part is a awesome feature most people will miss. In the help section of the app it explains its URL scheme. It’s a special URL that will automatically open the app but you can add anything you want to that url! For example, an article you want to hear and not read...use the Shortcuts App to get the web page text then automatically pass it via the URL scheme to this app and voila! No monthly premium charge!

  • Great app

    Nothing beats listening to this app read Fight Club. I know this because Tyler knows this. Look up in the stars and you’re gone.
  • Simple and effective text reader

    As a writer, I really like this app for reading text. Great for the editing process to get a sound of the work in a different (and more flat) voice. It’s easy to use, can be used with a variety of writing platforms (I’ve been using it with Bear and Word). I can’t believe it is free!
