Best app for students

Amazing quality voices like an audiobook plus you can use sounds as well to read with, has totally revolutionised my unhiversity coursework. As a theologian I have to read a lot of books so it’s extremely useful for me! Jesus loves you! Enjoy

No Way To Contact ElevenReader

I signed up for the 3 day trial. It seemed good but I wasn’t using the app. I canceled, and I was still charged $145.77. I had to go through Apple Services to try for a refund

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this, and sorry for the confusion. App Store purchases and refund requests are handled directly by Apple, so we’re unable to process those refunds ourselves. Please contact us via the app feedback form or team@elevenlabs.io.

The New update interface is annoying

The interface in the new update is very annoying because you can’t pause while the app is open you have to lock your phone and then you can pause. Also why can’t we access the chapter summary in the player ? It is very frustrating. The last interface was much better.

Response from developer

We apologize for any frustration caused by the recent update. Our team will look into the issues you've raised regarding pausing and accessing chapter summaries. Please feel free to contact our support team at team@elevenlabs.io for further assistance or use the in-app feedback form to provide more details.

New bug since update. Older hilarious bugs persist too, but largely good

Edit: New bug in today’s update using latest iOS and app version on iPhone 14 Pro - where play controls and “back to current” disappear regularly and don’t come back via the usual methods like scrolling further up, exiting and re-entering book etc.

Guys, you gotta get it together with the way voices handle extra letters. Like “Buuuuuut” or “Nooooooooo” or “Sooo” result in the most hilarious tone and length of spoken sounds.

Also please create a rule that stops it mumbling completely random sounds when a new chapter starts with just a number or number written as a word. It sounds like another language but isn’t. Sometimes it even finishes the final sentence paragraph before a chapter where it says something like “EIGHT” followed by a character name on the next line in all caps as a subheading, then the body text for the chapter and it’ll go (joltingly loudly compared to the volume it’s been reading at) “AEEEAEEEAHHH” then make a whining sound for an obnoxiously long time then say the chapter number then whine a bit more then chop a part off the name, then start the paragraph and whine then go back to normal. It’d be comical if it wasn’t so disturbing.

These examples are happening in all versions of Archer voice which is the only British English or Irish voice I can find that talks in a normal way and doesn’t suddenly go quiet like it’s been shut in a closet every few paragraphs. (Otherwise my favourite would be Cillian). But it seems to happen in all voices after a while.

Both these things have been going on a month or two but I swear have gotten worse recently.

Also please more British English and Irish conversational / faster speaking natural sounding voices! As an Australian I can’t stomach American sounding voices and the rest of the world agrees when it comes to English they just sound better and more intelligent.
