Essential College Student App

I am using it right now and this was exactly what I was looking for. I have an exam in the morning and I had so many readings I needed to do. Thanks to this app I am able to get through all the boring readings I need in order to prepare for my test and save my grade. I am using this app for studying from now on. I am even gonna use it to help me read through big boring books that don’t have any audio. I also like how it highlights the text allowing me to follow along easier. I wish I would have found this sooner.

Extremely Helpful

Fundamentally, this is an extremely helpful app. The conversion is excellent, the voices are very smooth, and while you’re reading a book it even indicates when there’s an image. If you have notes, it can explain what they mean. It’s immensely helpful. Thank you, Joe and team, for building this, I’ll definitely be using it more. It’s an amazing, extremely well-made app.

Image summary

While I love this app and it really helped me with my studies I suggest that you could put in an option whether they could read aloud the image summaries or not cause sometimes I realise that most of the times the reason the audio was long because of reading the image summaries

Incredible

Best text to audio app I’ve ever used.

Incredibly Functional

I don’t usually write reviews but I am beyond impressed by the functionality of this application even as a free tier it is incredibly useful. I have been searching for a while for something just like this. Thank you to the developers for providing this.
