Great app but still buggy despite reports

Great app but still buggy despite reports

Frictionless Knowledge

Now that the aridity of reading by reading it is fixed by someone else doing it for absolutely free, there is less tension. For this app to offer this for FREE and offer a 56 week refresh, is already great. But you go on and add a viewer where you can highlight, make notes, and it highlights the words as it reads? This is crazy. I’ve already read 10 books with this app that are over 200 pages long and It easily becomes very addicting because you’re making frictionless progress in learning.

The only issue I have is that I have to split books into parts because the free tier has a limit (250 pages). Other than this, phenomenal.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying different features in Paper2Audio. Please email us if you ever have more feedback. Joe, Paper2Audio Founder

Finally found the one.

I am so impressed with your app. It is intuitive, fast uploading speed and so many different file types supported including EPUB. The voices aren’t robotic. I love that I can read along and highlight my notes as I go. I would love to know which e readers support your app specifically, as that will be a mist when purchasing. Thank you for creating such a great, accessible product.

This App is saving lives

Every student needs this. You sit while that lady reads out your notes to you and there is a highlight to enable your ages follow. Easy to restart a paragraph if you miss anything. Simple, affordable and does the job. Tkusm

Great app

Overall, the app works well for medicine articles. Occasionally, the audio misreads reference numbers or symbols, which can be confusing. When that happens, I need to replay or re-read the paragraph to understand the meaning. However, generally, the audio and voice are very clear, with a natural tone. You can also change the speed, and the free version offers plenty of audio time. I'm considering upgrading to the paid option. I usually listen to one or two articles daily while preparing for work, and that's what matters most to me.
