  • Amazing Tool!

    I love the app! It's been incredibly useful. However, I hope they add the feature to export audios. I really don't want them to follow Evernote's path of holding content hostage unless I pay. Currently, on Evernote, I have to navigate through three screens just to access one of my oldest notes without upgrading. This is a bad practice that turned my appreciation for Evernote into a real disappointment. If you offer a paid feature, just please don’t hold what people already created hostage unless they pay. Keep the free features generally accessible.

  • There's an issue with voice enumeration

    Tapping a given voice and previewing it doesn't always read in the correct voice. My "my voices" list has a couple of duplicates. Neither should happen, ideally. Great voices though.
  • And it’s free!

    Wow! This has to be the best text reader for iPhone. Works perfect. I use it to listen to my chapters while I am reviewing my draft novel. There are lots of voices to select from and all sound very natural. Thanks Elevenlabs!
  • Good use but needs improvement

    I love using it but some of my books fail to sync and I have to start all over
    Also, the Ai reader repeats a section often times and it gets annoying
  • Would be great if it worked

    This was great while it worked —but it stopped working.

    Perhaps it only works for short texts. It will begin reading longer texts, but will freeze and appear to be loading something that never arrives, even though the entire text is downloaded and visible. Are these growing pains? Are servers getting inundated with requests? Is there a hard limit on words, or time, or something else? It there a glitch that the next update will fix? There’s no warning, notice, or feedback, and there’s no way to set bookmarks to find where you were before it stopped working. For any long form content, that’s very frustrating — the user doesn’t want to sink a few hours into a text only to have the app freeze, without even having a way to restart from the right point. Please fix these problems - the promise of this app is great, and should not be lost to frustration with glitches.

  • Error making read document

    "We've been notified, and are investing the issue." I tested and the voices do work once you choose one and it did read the sample books but when I tried importing two separate epub files I ran into this issue. I'm sure the app is great just fix this bug I've ran into.
  • 5 stars for simplicity - good

    Simple and also glad there’s well funded competition that will finally take out speechify that appears according to reviews to be employing dark patterns to allegedly scam their own customers who cancel subscriptions but still get charged and support doesn’t do to solve this
  • Absolute game changer

    Incredible work.
  • Fantastic!

    I have tried many apps looking for an AI to read websites to me. Nothing ever sounded good, too robotic.
    Found this app through Reddit. And it is a game changer, the voices sound so realistic, they even have inflictions! Very natural sounding narration.
  • No cloning? Bummer.

    Certainly the best quality txt to voice on the App Store, and free for now. Can’t go wrong..

    Buuuuuuut cloning. Isn’t that… what you specialize in is voice cloning? I’d pay.

    I don’t want a corporate or sanitized voice. They do sound good, like in a commercial or professional production. But I hate voices like that because they’re soulless feeling and I can’t listen for very long. Removing the imperfections I suppose it’s sort of like vinyl vs CD. CDs are better… but our ears prefer vinyl due to the imperfections. The wow and flutter of a cassette tape also.

    Would lop of my right arm for an app that could read to me with cloned voices as good as characterai voice clone (not available in this region, so VPN required.) go check out the voices on there, they’re all community clones. Maybe they should just add a txt to voice feature, lol. I went as far as trying to create a txt to speech chat bot but it didn’t cooperate.
