Thank you

Escaping Natural Readers abusive app update to this was a breath of fresh air. It’s like all the best parts of all the paywalled apps combined into this one for FREE! (Cherry on top is having the default voice my favorite voice) Please don’t change, please no overbearing ai updates. Thank you for existing! (App found from a Reddit recommendation)

It’s so cool you didn’t even have to sign in. I think it’s off-line. I’m not sure if it’s off-line or not but I don’t think it is but other than that you didn’t have to sign in so maybe it’s on my laptop.

Good, not perfect

Works well but is completely robotic. I enjoy the voice options, just wish it was a smoother read.

Thoroughly impressed!

This is the first time I’m writing a review for an app, because I felt like it deserved the recognition. And I’ve used many apps! As a developer myself, I can tell that a lot of thought and consideration was put into the design of this app. The things that make or break good design, user experience, ease of use, etc. are 1) a solid understanding of your user and their needs and 2) attention to detail to the small things that would otherwise be invisible if done right but painfully noticeable if not addressed. The developer placed earnest effort into both areas and it shows. I like how the developer allows for the user to navigate to other areas of the text mid-session but be able to “snap” back to auto-scrolling / following the text as its spoken, I like how the text is highlighted and how there are two layers of highlighting (listening to and following a visual cue of spoken text is quite effective for me in absorbing a book and staying focused), I like how this is offline so that I can use it anywhere without internet and leverages native TTS using enhanced/premium voices, I like the custom animations the developer built and the thorough instructional video for enabling enhanced/premium voices, I like that you can export as an audio file and that you can search within the document which helps me to easily navigate to other sections based off of memory. I mainly use this for epubs, but I thought it was smart that the developer allowed for the user to set reading area which solves for the difficultly of doing OCR for non-standard formats typically in PDFs, anything that is not in “book” form. Rarely do I ever feel that the developer has anticipated what I wanted or known what I wanted in a system before I was aware of what I wanted. It’s great that I could freely use this app without paying for it, like there is a 5 document at a time max but I suppose one could game it by deleting one and adding more. There is definitely a lack of appreciation from people that aren’t even paying for this. Ultimately, I paid for the lifetime access because I think this app deserves it. Some features that would nice to have are just some coloring and text size options, small black text against stark white background could be straining over time, and if there could be grayscale or sepia plus larger text sizes that would be appreciated.

It’s the best!

This Text-to-Speech app is remarkable. I’ve tried many and Narrly is without competition or peer.

Great job!

The best reading app. Thanks.

Kindle

You have a very powerful and beautiful tool. If you could add Kindle access (to login into one’s kindle account on amazon) that would be great. Also, the app could be faster on the iPhone. One more, please provide the option to export the pdf or at least to show the path by right-clicking the icon, which can also be made to dynamically increase a bit more. Could you also integrate the dictionary — take a look at how it is down on Kindle for the Desktop on Mac. Thanks

10/10

I love it works great and goes with many files only problem is the ai voice sounding robotic

What happened to voice options?

It works perfectly for reading texts, but it used to have different tone of vice options and choices of male and female. Now all the options are gone. Now there’s only one voice per language and female voice only. I don’t mind taking away the different tone of vices, but taking away the choice of male voice? Hope they would give each language a male voice reading.

Бэкслэш

Неплохо, но всё портит «бэкслэш, Бэкслэш»

guay

bien pero si la voz es más natural y menos robotica seria mejor

Sugerencia

Hola quisiera hacer una sugerencia que me ayudaría mucho si la implementan. La app está perfecta lo único que le falta es un marcador ya que es fundamental marcar los texto cuando se lo lee. Espero que les llegue mi mensaje, saludos!

Gratis, buenas voces la mejor APP

Yapaylığın minimuma indiği uygulama

İstenilen dilde istenilen hızda okunan metin. Çok başarılı bir uygulama.

긴 줄글을 읽어주는 심플한 TTS

숏츠에 붙이는 더빙 음성이 아니라 긴 줄글을 귀로 듣고 싶었는데 다른 무료 어플은 길이제한이 워낙 짧게 잡혀있어서 곤란했거든요. Narrly 덕분에 소원을 풀었습니다. 아주 간단하고 심플하고 기본에 충실한 TTS 음성 프로그램을 찾으신다면 이 어플을 추천해요.

Küçük bir düzeltme talebi

Merhaba sayın geliştirici uygulamanızı VoiceOver adı verilen ekran okuyucuyla büyük bir keyifle kullanmaktayım öncelikle böyle güzel bir uygulama yaptığınız için çok çok teşekkür ediyorum uygulamada klasör oluşturma özelliği var fakat klasör içerisine dosya ekleme işlemi yapamıyoruz klasör içerisine dosya ekleme özelliğini de eklerseniz çok çok memnun olurum iyi çalışmalar.

Spoko aapka

Spoko aapka działa bez zarzutu, przydało by się kilka opcji głosu po polsku. Jest ok

Voce metallica però fa il suo

La voce è quella che c’è nel pc, abbastanza metallica, però l’app è comoda da usare. Si incolla o importa il testo e lei legge

Narrly A Blessing

I love the application, however I wish it can highlight on the book as I listen. I appreciate the ability to read at the speed of my liking and different accents offered. I would however need to know how to highlight if app has that function.

An Actual Good Text-to-Speech App

So far, this has been the best Text-to-Speech app. No subscription or payment needed, clear voices, no lag, and easy to import documents. I like the feature where you can edit where you crop the document for what content you want to be skipped.
