Too many problems

I’m just going to paste what I sent to Support two weeks ago and they never responded to. As part of troubleshooting this issue I also deleted my account and created a new one. Since I have not been able to use the app due to “suspicious activity detected”


CarPlay Issues
1. When trying to resume my ebook from CarPlay after starting my vehicle or reconnecting to my vehicle the audio loops the next three works indefinitely until I open the app on my phone and start it from my phone. After that I can pause and resume via CarPlay without issue.

2. When I open the ElvenReader app in car play it says I need to log in. If I press ok on CarPlay a couple times it goes away and opens the app normally

Playback Issue
1. Sometimes when the audio playback is starting a new chapter there is a loud electronic screech or chirp for 1/2 second.

A joy

I absolutely love this app! Ten stars

Useless unless you pay

You get a free 5 days but only after inputting your payment details.
DELETED.

Response from developer

Sorry the free trial required payment details and felt unusable; I can see how that would be frustrating. I’ll pass your feedback on to the team. Please contact us via the app feedback form or team@elevenlabs.io.

Cancel free trial! Please

Cancel do not like this

Response from developer

Sorry you want to cancel the free trial and don’t like the experience, I understand your frustration and I’ll pass this on to the team. Please contact us via the app feedback form or team@elevenlabs.io.

Interruptions to beg for purchase

When down to your last 5-10 minutes of listening time, every ten seconds it will stop your audio, just to pull up the prompt to ask you to purchase ultra. Then takes forever to start again. If I wanted to purchase I would have already. I’d like my last few minutes in peace please! Also the ai review responses on here are disappointing. I was going to purchase once it ran out but it rubbed me the wrong way.

Good, but…

All in all this app is good, with a couple of exceptions. I’ve used it to read books as well as fanfiction. When reading fanfic, it will randomly skip the last few words of a paragraph before moving on, as well as just stop reading altogether, at which point I have to reopen the app to refresh the read. Also, if you stop your listen and exit the app for more than a few minutes, it doesn’t bookmark your place and I have to scroll to get back to where I was in my listen. I’m only taking off one star because other than these three issues, I’m really enjoying the app. Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps, but I have yet to find a way to correct it. I’ll wait and see if future updates fix this issue, at which point I’ll update my review. All in all it’s good. There are lots of voice options that are all easy on the ears with an appropriate amount of dramatic inflection to help you forget that they’re not actually real people reading to you. I’ll definitely continue using this app.

Enlightening experience

ElevenReader allows me to review and introduce my work in much more effective ways than I’d ever imagined. Plus my travel time, and formerly limited or constrained bandwidth, can now be much more efficiently utilized using ElevenReader.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. I’m really glad ElevenReader is helping you work more efficiently and make better use of travel time. If you ever want to share ideas or suggestions please send them to team@elevenlabs.io or use in-app feedback.

Omg

This is amazing. I love how I can just copy and paste text into it so then I can just listen to whatever I want. I can even make one.

Difficulty between two languages, Book after creating audio

This application is not able to read properly to languages book. If we have uploaded some type of document means there is some content in English and some English and some content in Hindi. So your application is only read English. I hope your company will find the solution.

The import text doesn’t always work

I like to scan the books I already have when I do not have the time to read. It really struggles detecting the right text and importing it. It will also leave off the top of the text. Making it really confusing and leaving off details.

Bons áudios e seleção de livro

Adoro a função de mandar os meus próprios PDFs, porque consigo escutar os textos da faculdade e resumos que faço, durante o meu trajeto de transporte público. Muito bom.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing how you use the PDF feature during your commute. I’m glad the app helps you listen to your college texts and summaries. If you ever want to share more feedback you can email team@elevenlabs.io or use the in-app feedback.

Pro-tip

Turn off Autoplay, your hours will stop randomly vanishing in large chunks. Literally went from hating it to this Apps awesome. Will is the best.

Excepcional!

Melhor app de conversão de arquivos para áudio que já testei e com valor mais em conta (não que seja barato)!
Anseio pela disponibilização de mais vozes conhecidas e principalmente de dubladores como o Guilherme Briggs, seria incrível!!!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the glowing praise, I'm really glad the file-to-audio conversion and pricing worked well for you. I'll share your interest in more well-known voices and professional voice actors with the team, and if you want to add more thoughts you can email team@elevenlabs.io.

Melhor App

Espetacular, as vozes são extremamente limpas e naturais.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you love the clear, natural voices, that means a lot. If you ever want to share more thoughts, feel free to email team@elevenlabs.io or send feedback in-app.

Voz clonada

Qué lástima que no me permite clonar la voz lo acabo de comprar y pregunté si se podía y la verdad no se puede ignorar la voz. Qué lástima

Censors content

They will threaten your account with cancellation for listening to a book that was on the New York Times bestseller list for over 141 weeks and sold over 3 million copies.

Strange staff

They were being homophobic n stranger towards me because I was reading gay love stories and would flag them . Even though it was never inappropriate.

Response from developer

I'm really sorry to hear staff flagged your stories and treated you poorly for reading gay romance, that's unacceptable and I want to help address it; please contact us via the app feedback form or team@elevenlabs.io.

Last version was better

I really like this app, I use it almost everyday. Problem is that the last update made it almost unusable. It’s way too glitchy to use it as much as I use to. I hope they bring back the last version instead.

.

I was originally going to rate this app, a three out of five because it never keeps your place in the book when you’re listening to Amazon books so that’s one issue. The other issue is that I just learned today that there is a limit on the amount of hours you can listen to text to speech books per day, which I had no clue about initially. So I have no idea when that 24 hour period begins because I know for a fact today that I have not listened to 24 hours worth of text to speech books. However, unless I purchase more hours, I am not allowed to listen to more of my books. Even with the ultra subscription. Beyond that I think the app is OK but I am gonna look for others because I’m not paying more to listen to more than 24 hours of books in a 24 hour period. That’s insane.

Big fan but ….

A product I really like, with room for improvement

I really like ElevenReader and enjoy using it, but I think some improvements to playback controls and organisation would make it much more convenient.

A simple “restart from the beginning” button would be particularly welcome. When an item finishes, I currently have to drag the progress bar all the way back to replay it. The back button also sometimes fails to respond.

Queue management could be easier to access, ideally from the main library or collections screen rather than from within an individual item. I would like to build a queue directly from a collection, play the items in order, and optionally repeat the whole queue. Having completed items reset to the beginning, ready for another listen, would also be useful.

The item menus could be more consistent. Saved items offer options that are missing when accessing an item within a collection, even though those actions seem equally applicable. A Rename option directly in the collection’s item menu would be another helpful addition.

These are suggestions offered because I like the product and want to see it improve. More consistent menus and straightforward playback and queue controls would make everyday use much smoother.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful suggestions and for enjoying the app, I’m glad it’s working well for you overall. I’ll share your ideas about a restart control, back button reliability, easier queue building from collections, repeat options, resetting completed items, and more consistent item menus with the team.
