Very good!

I was very pleasantly surprised that this app can recognize how to pronounce certain Chinese names. If there is only one request I can make, it would be for a pronunciation editor so that I can fix the words the app has problems with.

Response from developer

Thank you! I’m glad to hear it handles Chinese names well. A pronunciation editor is a great suggestion, and I’ll definitely consider adding it in a future update.

Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This app is a lifesaver for me. Thank you, and thanks to ChatGPT for recommending this app to me 😍 It’s really useful for me since I don’t have internet access while commuting; I can use it to listen to my study PDFs offline.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear the offline feature is helping with your studies during your commute. (And it's awesome that ChatGPT recommended it!) I will continue to make it a better app through future updates.

Unable to open epubs properly

I’ve opened 3 EPUBs but this app can decompress them property. From one epub that had 1400 chapter only 218 showed but with the chapters name only and no readable content.

The second epub displayed 1343 chapters but not a single chapter had content.

The third one same issues.

I hope is gets updated. I’ll give it a better rating with the next update if it fixes the current bugs.

Thank you for your patience. Version 2.4 includes several more improvements to EPUB support. Please try the latest update, and if it fixes the issues you had, I’d really appreciate your feedback and an updated rating. Thank you!

Good app with small issues

It works pretty well with a couple issues. It often gets names wrong and if there’s an apostrophe before an s (like John’s) it will pronounce the s separately. But besides that it’s a good app and I appreciate how it’s all on-device

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We’ve fixed the apostrophe + “s” pronunciation issue in version 2.4, along with several other pronunciation improvements. I hope the latest update sounds better for you, and I really appreciate you supporting an on-device app like Local TTS.

Perfect app

This app is honestly the best. For what it is. Compared to the pay walls like other TTS apps, being able to use it offline and simply copy and paste without limits is what other apps are missing. Regardless of the voices if this app can do it, so can many others.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the offline experience and simple copy-and-paste workflow. I’ll keep improving the voices while keeping the app private, straightforward, and free from unnecessary restrictions.
