Never find time to read the newspaper's opinion columns? Whether you're driving, commuting, walking, or doing chores — follow your favorite columnists with a natural AI voice.

KEY FEATURES

WHY SESLİ KÖŞE YAZILARI
What sets us apart from other column and newspaper apps is real AI voice. Other apps either offer text only, or use your phone's standard, robotic "text-to-speech" feature. We narrate columns with natural, fluent AI voice technology that feels like listening to a real presenter — plus a complete audio-reading experience with archiving, downloads, and writer follows.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Anyone who wants to catch up on the news on the morning commute or in the car
• Busy professionals who want to stay informed but don't have time to read
• Loyal readers who never want to miss a column from their favorite writers
• Multitasking listeners on public transit, at the gym, or doing chores

VOICE QUALITY
• Device Voice (Free): Get started instantly with Apple's built-in text-to-speech.
• AI Voice (Premium): Fluent, human-quality narration generated by AI. Requires a weekly or monthly subscription, cancel anytime.

### 4/5 — Artık çalışmıyor :(

*2022-02-10*

Bu uygulama gerçekten çok güzeldi, son üç-dört yıldır düzenli olarak kullanıyordum. Ama son birkaç aydır ne olduysa uygulama açılmıyor, üzerine tıklayınca açılacak gibi yapıyor ve sonra kapanıyor.
Telefonumu açıp kapattım, uygulamayı silip yeniden yükledim, üç-dört defa. Bir defasında açıldı iki-üç gün kullandım yine açılmamaya başladı. 
Umarım uygulamanın sahibi bu problemi en kısa zamanda çözer. Şimdiden teşekkürler!
