Good app

i like the app. My favorite voice lessac. It sounds way better than the other ones for voice over. I also used it to read languages voiceover doesn’t support

Horrible

This app is horrible. A Spanish voice I tried, and I did not understand it at all. Fix the Spanish voices. Make them speak Spanish correctly.

Big giant bug

OK this app is very good the voices sound natural the voices are really cool to mess with and I do use them sometimes but sometimes the voices mess up and cause voiceover to restart this episode still cool though but it’s the only issue that I have for the voiceover it crashes the voice crashes the screen reader causing it to cut out and restart again

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words and the five stars. We are very sorry that a voice can sometimes make VoiceOver cut out and restart, and we are actively looking into it. If you would be willing to share which voice this happens with and your iOS version, please write to us at piper-feedback@ihor-shevchuk.dev - your details would really help us reproduce it. - Ihor

Miles ahead of IOS TTS

This is miles ahead if Apple TTS. It is way more natural. Thanks to this. Use this if you listen to ebook

Amazing app with small voiceover glitches

This app is amazing. A lot of the voices are very natural such as LJ speech puppy prudence and plenty of others. The only issue I have is that with VoiceOver it can glitch when reading long form content and voiceover will turn off and back on again and be extremely glitchy for a minute and I’ll have to switched back to other voices when needed but other than that, it’s great and just like many others I would like to be able to clone my own voice and voices of others in a very easy accessible way, and I hope that you can clone as many voices as you would like. Thank you for your time.
