Love it!
I love this app and use it a lot to read my research articles. I’ve had for years now. However since the last update the pronunciation of many words is incorrect and changing it on settings isn’t fixing it. Besides there are too many words to enter manually and try to devise the appropriate pronunciation. I hope you guys can fix it!Show lessMa Prem Gitika
🤯 TOTAL GAME CHANGER 🤯
I don’t know what rock I’ve been living under but thankfully I finally found this app! It is a complete and total game changer! True Crime junkie here and reading through thousands of pages of court documents is not something I have the attention span to do. Even aside from that, every book I ‘read’ is an audiobook because I literally never have time to sit still. I have been using this app for the past hour and I’m still discovering new features but I think I have the basics down now! Works flawlessly and seamlessly. The voices sound so natural. I see that their support team is very active with responses to negative reviews… which are mostly user error but they are very gracious in their responses! And MOST importantly, willing to help! I am absolutely thrilled and I am looking forward to staying up all night ‘reading’ this 1267 page document! ♥️
ETA: I have seen reviews about the pronunciation feature not working… I’ve already used it four times and have had zero issues!Show lessLEGOLouie
This is a feature full text to speech app!
I have been using this app for years and I love it! I can pull readings from my Google drive, the web, apps like Instapaper and even snap a picture to listen to text from a handout. The only thing I am missing at the moment is the ability to buy the newer HD voices. Years ago I bought some premium voices which have been great but now would like to buy some upgrades. In any case this is still the best text to speech app I have used. It is great value!Show lessjj_oz
Life changing app and unbelievable customer service
I bought the entire app suite my first semester of graduate school and it’s hands down the best $30 I’ve ever spent in my life. It works beautifully (once you get the hang of how to take the photos to optimize OCR). I recently got a new iPhone and was experiencing issues having my files read aloud and I emailed the support team to have my question FULLY AND ACCURATELY answered in literally 4 minutes. I cannot recommend this app enough. It’s hands down the best text to speech option out there that doesn’t cost an exorbitant amount of money. Please if you are in need of a time saving app to get through readings download this app- it may just change your life too!!Show lessJordanNewcomb
The Best. Look No Further.
This app has changed my life. If you like Audible, this allows you to have the same "reading while getting other stuff done" functionality. I take all the articles I want to read in the Atlantic, the New Yorker and the New York Times, and feed them into VoiceDream and then get to read everything while in the shower, while walking the dog, doing chores, driving, etc. I CAN READ SO MUCH MORE NOW! The features and UX with this app are absolutely the best, and I've tried a number of programs that do text-to-speech. Buy this, take a few minutes to learn how to use it (it's easy and intuitive) and then buy one of the voices you like, and you'll be amazed!Show less:&:&-?!/!/
Great app!
So I have been heavily considering speechify, natural reader, and voice dream since I have trouble paying attention and grasping the context of books I read. I get distracted very easily reading myself so I prefer to listen to someone else read to me. I decided to go with Voicedream because not only is it a MUCH CHEAPER option unlike speechify and natural reader, it's also got good reviews which I always look at before spending my money. The voice of Micah is the most natural one on the app and I listen to him read my books effortlessly and naturally. I LOVE this app and I'm so glad I only ended up spending like $25 on everything rather than $100+ on the other app. If you're like me and have trouble reading alone, you'll enjoy this app!Show lessgetyourishtogether
Excellent product for aspiring academic
I have always struggled keeping up with my reading in grad school. All of my time was devoted to just keeping up with assignments, not writing or exploring my own related interests. A prominent reason was getting bogged down in the details of texts. Listening through a first time has helped me focus on the big picture of arguments and identify arguments most important for my interests. Even though I have to go back to these sections in print, I still end up saving time and understanding materials better. Also, I appreciate the one time purchase model more than subscriptions (although I know this doesn’t support the ongoing development of the app. Why doesn’t the App Store support payed updates? I think it would be reasonable to pay a small fee for certain kinds updates and new features to give the developers an ongoing revenue stream). Any way, this app has enabled me to keep up.
One feature I would like is a desktop or web based version. I have found workarounds, but a dedicated app is desirable (perhaps an upgrade I would pay for wink wink?)Show lessA.h.wright
Remarkable app
This app is worth every cent: it requires one off purchases, allows purchasing IVONA voices, and it's much cheaper than subscription services
In spite of the low-cost, the user interface is the best that I've seen. It has no lag, because the Voice production is done on the phone rather than downloaded from a remote MP3 file. Quite incredibly, I have also yet to see an error from converting articles into plain text.Show lesss342
Good reader, but bad for studying
This App is by far the best thing that’s happened to me in my under-graduate and graduate degrees. I struggle to read and understand because of a learning disability that I have. There is only one other product out here like this that I know of, and it’s still not as good as this product and it requires a subscription each month. This is a one time purchase, and it does almost everything that I need.
Between the scanner that can turn my textbook into a readable PDF, and the reader, and the various types of voices, I will give testimony of them forever. The only thing I wish it could change is to give me the ability to modify documents directly that are in my Files folder, and also give me the ability to highlight in multiple colors. STILL the best app every though. I couldn’t recommend it more.Show lessAcarlton
