User reviews

Wanted this to be good

Unfortunately the app is completely broken. Every time i go to add any form of media it prompts me to subscribe even though i am. Even when it didnt do that the single time ive gotten it to work, there were various error pop ups midway through generation that did manage to resolve themselves. On the actual output, there is basically 0 discrimination between what is clearly the target text versus ui elements. Additionally, the narration sounds terrible and does not reflect what is currently the widely available speech generation quality. Dont waste your time.

Correct Pronunciation

This app somehow pronounces the most mispronounced words correctly. Great job!

Helpful!!

I am someone who benefits from reading while also hearing the text read aloud, it helps me to better engage with the article or book. I am a teacher of students with a variety of barriers to learning and I have found that this type of app is helpful for students to access the same content as their peers, I wonder if it would be possible to make a kid-friendly versionโ€ฆ

Frateca

This app has saved me! Frateca has helped me to cut down time especially when driving/traveling. Instead of reading I can listen to my documents on my way. Itโ€™s a great app and Iโ€™m excited about the update!

The update

After the update itโ€™s practically un-usable. As this was part of my work process Iโ€™m a day behind on a deadline. I get needing to work out kinks, but to have that sort of price tag on a product that becomes un-usable overnight is not tenable. Iโ€™m SO sad because Iโ€™d really found a rhythm and had incorporated it into my routine. Truly a lesson of donโ€™t fix what isnโ€™t broken.
