Can you help me

Good app, but after the keyboard came up, I couldn’t put it down

FANTASTIC

It uses no generative AI and if you are a person like me who wants to make a voice but also refrain from using our very limited clean water supply this is the app to use. You may now be thinking “there is no getting better than this”. That is where you’re wrong because there is a giant variety of voices to choose from like a robot or to a sweet grandma. You can also edit the voices by pitch and speed. It also has almost all of those analog horror voices.

PERFECT FOR ANALOG HORROR
