Leave a Review vBookz PDF Voice Reader
A nice effort - but it falls short on naturalness
I really like the interface - having the ability to tap where you want the reading to start. That is a great implementation. The voice's are not very natural sounding, however. I'll be waiting until it has a better sound before I plunk some cash down on this app.
There are other apps, which have a much more natural sound to them. I admit, I've only tried the trial app, but I don't want to put down cash on something having the deficiency I mentioned.
The directions mentioned voices for various languages can be purchased. Does this mean the price doesn't include at least one voice? If so, I get to pay more for an app over and above its base cost? I purchase it and then I purchase a language too? Wow, kind of strange if that is the case.Show lessCraigriver
DONT TRY
Nice concept but once u downloa it obly allows u to hear the pre intalled pdfs and not any new ones u download, each languange is an extra 5 dollars and the free version doesnt even come with english.Jollllll
Waste of money
Don't waste your money on this app! Even after paying extra for the selected language it does not read any text except maybe the text reference if it appears on each page. Unless you want to keep hearing this stupid voice repeat the text reference over and over, save your money and read from the screen as I am doing after wasting my money on this over-priced crappy app!!!Show lessAllnicsaretaken
Not free
Says it's free but you have to purchase the language, eg English.jenny_1260
Great Concept
I bought this to assist in reading PDF. I have tried many others on the iPad but all failed. This is the only app that lets you read PDF directly without having to convert them into text and thus loose images etc. I do find dragging the cursor clumsy and difficult to grab hold of.
I have Natural Reader on my PC and I find the transition between each word a bit "synthesised". There are many word incorrectly pronounced in the UK version.
All in all it is great to see a start but waiting in anticipation for improvement.Show lessWayneooooo
