First impressions: Some issues and not super convenient UI
The voices sounded pretty good, especially the “narrator” ones.

It’s not handling smart quotes correctly. It converted the apostrophe in “I’m” into a weird character and completely botched the pronunciation of that word.

The UI could be optimized more in order to be truly useful as an assistive speaking device. Folders, ability to edit existing “text” items, better predictive text, translation, etc.

Great voices, simple and clean UI
Great app for listeners. If you like to multitask or have a long journey to work and back home, this will save your eyes after starting at a screen all day.

Can’t believe it’s free to be honest and runs smoothly on device.

Blown Away
I’ve tried a lot of text to soeech apps… they usually sound robot-like and I quickly get turned off by them.

This app blows everything else out of the water. It just sounds so natural, no matter what voice/language it’s in.

This app has helped me a ton with reading / listening faster. And the import capabilities are awesome. Highly reccomend!

Everything is amazing except for one thing
Hey guys, I just wanted to say that this app is amazing and it’s super helpful for me. I am completely blind so having something like this is super useful. The new voice is that were added, though I’m not able to access them when I upload something to read. They’re all really good and I would love to use them for my textbook and other stuff but i’m unable to access them.

STOP SAYING YOU FIXED IT! You DID NOT.
ZERO STARS IF I COULD. Don’t waste your time or $$ on this app. I think most of the good reviews are fake. The app continuously crashes, and the same cookie cutter response is replied by the developer. You haven’t fixed it, and probably don’t even know how.
