Small fixes

User reviews

Loved the older version

This newest version hasn’t worked out well for me. I haven’t been able to use this app in months on 3 different devices. I absolutely loved the older version and I really enjoy the PC version (web based).

I typically end up using the web interface on my phone and tablet because this is so unreliable.

Good app

Overall this is a good app. But the highlighted text needs to be fixed so it stays in the middle of the screen

I absolutely hate this

It is giving me the wrong voice >:(

Do better

Copy and past? No

The web page and the browser extension supports copy and paste, but the iOS function does not work on this app. That makes this app useless.

excellent screen reader

offers a range of voices and text-to-speech features, lets you adjust reader speed as well as text size & appearance; fairly simple in terms of options for how & when to run the app, and yes, it would definitely be great if it could play in the background without needing to be open onscreen, but if what you're looking for is a screen reader, this is hands down the best one i've come across so far. not sure whether all the features are adequately accessible for visually-impaired users, but the tutorial would probably provide quite a bit more information there if i hadn't skipped through it, and based on what i *can* infer it seems to be at least the baseline level of accessible (at the very least, it reads text clearly from a variety of sources). i'm,, a little worried to be quite honest, the functionality here is so good i'm expecting a major downside, but i've yet to find any hidden costs or catches (i did however discover that the creators have a web browser extension that might be useful for my desktop computer). i mean given the *gestures at general state of things* there's a solid chance the catch is still coming, but hey, i haven't found it and i have gotten tons of use out of this app in the meantime. if the creators are as generous as they seem to be, and are actually sharing this fantastic piece of software for the sake of accessibility without dinging us with a $30 subscription fee or major functionality options stuck behind a paywall, then i am genuinely so grateful for this. thanks for being really excellent human beings, i think. (oh, and the programming's pretty great, too ☺️)
