  • Awesome for Reading Papers on the Go

    If you spend a lot of time in the car like most of America this app is for you! It allows me to listen to articles and white papers like they’re audiobooks while I’m stuck in traffic. Super helpful
  • Works Great!

    Very handy for college readings materials on the go!
  • Cool app

    Works well and as advertised
  • Doesn't work; no documentation

    I love the simple interface; there is a single "upload" button. But using it only generates an error for me. Without any documentation or help to know WHY it is generating an error, it's worthless to me.
  • This is a GAME CHANGER!

    Oration is an absolute game changer! As a professional with an incredibly hectic schedule, this app has transformed the way I engage with scientific publications. Converting PDFs into audiobooks is a stroke of genius, allowing me to seamlessly absorb valuable information on the go. The clarity of narration is impeccable. Five stars for making my busy life a little easier and for bringing innovation to the realm of academic consumption. Highly recommend to anyone looking to optimize their learning while on the move!

    To the developers, I have a few suggestions that I hope to see in future iterations:
    - the page refresh isn’t very intuitive (you have to pull down the screen to refresh to get an update on the PDF processing status)
    - split out PDFs that are still processing versus audiobooks that have completed processing into different pages on the app

  • Love it

    As a scientist, I need to read a ton of papers daily, which is a hassle. This app has been a game-changer for me. It helps me identify papers that are going to be helpful to my research. Its ability to generate detailed summaries for each paper section is amazing. These summaries have become my go-to, especially during commutes. I love that to do my job, I don’t always need to be tied to a computer or drown in printed papers. I also use it for journal clubs when I don’t have time to read the entire paper but want to know what’s going on and be ready to discuss the science! Fantastic app

  • Not a free app

    Misadvertised as a free app, instead, this has a a hidden $9 monthly subscription. Rated 1* for lack of transparency.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, to clarify we are a free app. Our intention is to keep the app free for as long as we can financially support it. We have adjusted some of our email sign up communications so it is more clear. Thank you for trying the app!
