User reviews

Decent but still immature

It comes with 2 voices, both female, and the quality of the TTS isn’t very good. $30 buys more voices. No trial for the premium voices and I imagine the quality of the pronunciation is about the same. I deleted the app.

Potential but early preview

Layout and file system interaction nice. Rather buggy but fixable, though the bugs drive me from it at the moment.

- doesn’t apply a change in default new voice to new reading files — change from default to “Max” but keeps applying default to new files.
- doesn’t apply selecting a new voice if altered in-document, have to “preview” first
- selection goes back to non-configured default voice if app closed and opened again.
- if I delete a file and replace it with one of a different format, keeps reading old file / old voice

Difficulty ready Word document

The app would slow down on larger words or not pronounce the word correctly. I had some trouble adjusting the reading speed the way it is played out. This was the very first attempt at using the app. I figured with the results I had after that, I’d try something else.

Response from developer

We fixed this in the next update - unfortunately it's in Apple review since more than a month. Fingers crossed it lands any day.
