    Hello! I cannot reproduce this issue on my device. You can use the feedback button in settings to provide examples of this issue.
  • Efficient, but not perfect

    I like the convenience of being able to listen to the articles I was going to read online on my phone. It’s also nice to be able to customize the voice such as the language and accent.

    Many of the voices sound unfortunately robotic. I am currently using the English (United Kingdom) Arthur (voice rate 0.40) because he sounds more natural to me. Although I have recently started using Aaron (English - United States), and I may even prefer him to Arthur.

    I noticed Speaky can not always extract an article— sometimes only a few seconds of one- for whatever reason(s). Also, the voice keeps changing to other voices/ accents from my preferred one— which makes it a hassle to keep having to change it back.

    Despite these issues, I recommend reading the tutorial and adding/ using share shortcut to Safari so that you can open the articles in the app (usually takes a few seconds to extract).

  • FANTASTIC!

    This app is well designed and a pleasure to use.
  • Impressed . .

    I've tried other apps... Always dissatisfaction.
    I'm handing on to this one for a long min.
    I recommend if you really have no time to read but love to. this app for yall.
  • Excellent!

    Great, works well. My only issue is its not as easy to skip through the task as in some of the other apps. But it generally does work better. 👍
  • Useless

    Piece of crap. Only reads in French even though I point to English source material and set English as default language.

    Useless.
  • Piece of junk—doesn’t work

    Once I load the text file and choose it in the side bar to be read out loud, the app hangs. It freezes and I can’t do anything but force-quit the app and try again —only to experience the same problem over and over. It freezes with the sidebar half covering the page to be read. Also, no easy way of changing voice or speed or hearing a preview or soundbite to see if you like it. You have to blindly choose your settings then load a page to read to hear if you like the voice settings. If not, the app has already frozen by now and you have to force-quit. It’s very frustrating.

    I wouldn’t recommend this app to any one. I’ve already deleted it from my device. I hope this candid review helps any one looking to purchase this dud. Don’t do it!

  • Awesome tool

    When you’re on your way to work, found this really good article you want to read but since you’re driving it’s difficult. This app will read the article for you. I love it. This app is so underrated. Don’t forget fixing bugs and minor issues because I love it.
  • Please bring back the other American male voice

    I believe he was Aaron. I love this app but the cacophonous computer voices are awful. Aaron sounded the most human, I miss him
