FAQ

What does this app do?

This application has two primary functions: it can read typed text aloud to you (text to speech) and it can transcribe spoken words from your microphone into text (speech to text). It also includes OCR technology to extract text from various sources like images and PDFs.

What are the key features of the text to speech function?

The text to speech feature allows you to type or import text and have it read aloud. You can customize the language, rate, and pitch of the reader. It also offers options like highlighting text as it's read, saving texts to a library, and adjusting font size.

How does the speech to text feature work?

The speech to text feature uses your device's microphone to capture your voice and convert it into written text. This transcribed text can then be edited and saved for later use. An optional end speech detection feature can help manage the transcription process.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases for certain features, specifically for the speech to text transcription functionality and the player for reading texts. Additional voices may also be available through your device's system settings.

What devices is this app compatible with?

The application is designed for iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads. Some features, like exporting speech and choosing languages, require iOS 13 or later. You can manage available voices through your device's Accessibility settings.
