Amazing and feature rich even at free tier
I’m just loving Eist. I love the import experience, the initial voice option is pleasant to listen to, and bonus the synchronized text is a wonder to behold and to use for skipping guitars for back.
It’s a delight.
You also earn another voice or two as you listen.

Wow
Great app for a free price! At least one voice is pleasant to listen to without me paying. But I’ll probably upgrade anyway because I’m having a great experience so far.

The greatest reading tool
I’ve been using éist for a while now and it’s genuinely transformed how I get through my reading list. The AI narration is surprisingly natural with none of that robotic, stilted delivery you’d expect. It actually sounds like someone is reading to you.
That said, it’s not without its quirks. PDFs can have encoding issues where ligature characters get mangled and odd symbols appear in the text. There are also occasional random skips and stops that seem to be glitches, and sometimes subheading text gets mixed into the body text which can make it hard to follow unless you’re reading along with the audio. One UI thing I’d love to see fixed: it’s too easy to accidentally tap other text while reading ahead, which jumps the audio unexpectedly. A double-tap to navigate would go a long way.
But for an app doing something this ambitious, these feel like growing pains rather than dealbreakers. What keeps me coming back is how effortless it makes long-form reading. Commutes, workouts, doing the dishes, content I’d otherwise never get to is now just part of my day.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to actually get through their backlog.

Wow thanks for the review! I can add double tap to jump to text in the settings and will look into ironing out more of the pdf parsing issues !
