It needs Amazon Kindle support
Response from developer
Thanks for the suggestion. Most Kindle books bought from Amazon unfortunately have copy protection, which means only Amazon’s own apps and devices are allowed to open them. However, some Kindle books are sold without this lock, and starting with version 1.1, Narraloud can open those and read them aloud as well. Narraloud also reads many other file types today, including PDFs, Word files, EPUBs, web pages, and any text you copy, share, or scan with your camera. That means an unlocked Kindle book converted to EPUB will work just fine in Narraloud today.
Very useful for listening to long emails and articles
Language issues
Response from developer
Thank you for telling us, and we're sorry you had this experience - the book may have been encrypted or copy-protected. Many ebooks from online stores and library apps scramble the text so that only apps approved by the seller can open it. When a copy-protected book is added to the current version of Narraloud, the app tries to read the scrambled text, and every voice speaks it as is written, which sounds like a different language because the text itself is scrambled. We've fixed this, and an upcoming update tells you right away when a book is copy-protected or unreadable. Books without DRM read normally, as do PDFs, web articles, pasted text, and camera scans. If your book didn't come from a store or library, please write to support@argmaxinc.com, or use Send Feedback inside the app, and we will fix it for you as soon as possible.
Reads Alien languages
Response from developer
Thank you for trying Narraloud, and we’re sorry it sounded like that for you. Narraloud supports English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese, and it detects the language of the input text to help pronounce each word appropriately. Text in other languages, such as Russian or Chinese, isn’t supported yet, and today the voices read it as English by default, which can sound like what you were experiencing. We are working to expand our language support, and will make it clearer in the future if a language is unsupported in the app. If your text was actually in one of the supported languages above, please email support@argmaxinc.com or send feedback from Settings in the app, and we’ll look into it.
