## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This does not work!

*2013-03-23, version 1.3*

I really wanted to like the app, but it is really bad.  How did this get past apple?  I don't have an accent yet the app cannot understand a single word I say.  My kids get a kick out of how inaccurate it is, but that is the only positive thing I can say.  What a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-01-05, version 1.2*

I have latest iOS, but this app crashes every time I touch the screen to stop recording. On iPAD at least.

### 1/5 — can't get it to work

*2012-12-25, version 1.2*

Although it' very basic I cannot get it to work, so waste of money really

### 1/5 — Pathetic waste of money.

*2012-12-21, version 1.2*

Please read this before purchase. This app does not read out what you have said. Instead it reads out a load of rubbish, therefore is a complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Ms

*2012-08-10, version 1.2*

Hmmmm, leaves a LOT to be desired. Provided some temporary family entertainment though as my deaf father read out what I 'said'.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2012-03-10, version 1.1*

Good concept but should be called '
Read what you like regardless of what I said'.
Speech recognition is shockingly bad.

### 1/5 — Bad voice recognition. Waste of money.

*2012-01-29*

Get dragon dictation for free instead. It is just as bad but it is free

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2012-12-09, version 1.2*

I think this app has potential but is not quite there yet. I bought it in hopes of using it with elementary school students but it would be too frustrating for them.

### 3/5 — I’ll give it a 3 star

*2022-11-01, version 1.4*

I do not like when this app crashes it has some concerns and needs Wi-Fi.

### 4/5 — Fun App

*2012-04-25, version 1.1*

This application is very cool because it really does read out what you say.  For people who are hard of hearing, this application can be extremely useful.  Good job!

### 5/5 — great app!

*2012-05-18, version 1.1*

Read what I say is a great app. The fact that it is so easy to use makes reading and teaching words to kids more efficient. It catches fast and slow speech. It has options so you can have words show up bigger, smaller, faster, or slower. Good options, and is fun!

### 5/5 — Read what I say

*2012-04-16*

Easy to use and effective in conversations. Customizable display settings are very useful.

### 5/5 — Solves problem for hear-of-hearing!

*2012-01-25, version 1.0*

This worked perfectly the first time I tried it. It's simple and powerful, like Siri, but displayhing the text of naything yhou say in large print for a hard of hearing listener.
I was surprised it even got my first and last name right.
