Works pretty well
I need to record many oral history tapes from older audio formats to digital. Each tape needs an intro with details on the recording to follow. To record this a live microphone, that means mistakes, a quiet background, and kind of 'on the fly.'
This ap is very easy and friendly to use. The voice choices are pretty good, and I believe the museum I am doing this for will be satisified.
I will now need to record from the earphone jack of my lap top to the mixer going to the digital recorder. The newest update (Sept. ’26) does not seem to add anything, and the voices are still to digital sounding, but any port in a storm!

good app
easy to use. voice speed and pitch can be changed. no paywall, so far. 5 stars.
Great!
amazing helping me through not being able to talk with my surgery
Poor voice options
The voice choices are too robotic to be useful for text to speech. Some are barely understandable.
Feature request
Id like to see an automatic voice mode while typing if possible.
Very good with two additions
It’s a very useful App. One requirement: there should be way to start speaking at other places in the text rather than at the start. Also, it should be possible to enter the file rather than past the text.
Thank you
Thank you
Can’t increase the reading speed
I got this because the built in text to speech on my MacBook doesn’t allow you to increase the speed, and this says you can adjust the speed. Unfortunately, you can only make the speed slower, not quicker, so this is useless to me and I uninstalling it.
On the bright side, it doesn’t use an ai voice, which I like.

Perfect for reading on the go!
I use this to read notes or scripts I've typed up while going for walks. One feature request: be able to start the speaker at different places instead of from the beginning again, but this isn't a dealbreaker.
This is how I talk
I have lost about 90% of my ability to talk due to ALS. I have Speakline on my laptop and on my iPhone and it’s my primary means of communication.
Thank you so much, Speakline! The App works great on both platforms. It’s the best I’ve tried - and the only one I use now.

It Works
The voice types need to be upgraded a touch & I’d like an option to use my own voice sample in the future.
Best ever
No ads, no limits, simple. It’s just great.
0 cons
No Cons, Great app. Makes reading my chapters for college so much easier.
Jawline fracture
It helped me pass my most torcher phase of life..you guys did a great job creating this application as it could help someone someone through texts…you can update it little bit for better experience for users…thanx for this app.
GOOD TOOL
I used to translate to 6 different language my breast cancer video, the result is very good
Tips for Development
Make voices less robot like, if possible. When listening to something we wasn’t to still revive it as we are human. Unfortunate if Apple doesn’t make it permissible. Glad with the amount of text I can copy in at once. Also doesn’t let you alter the pitch and talk speed after you’ve done it once, sure it’s a simple programming issue. Can you integrate an AI assist to have a “human understand” brief? I know this applies to most AiGens, but would be good to see included. Many thanks.

Does exactly what it says for free
Very nice, exactly the program I was looking for
It's a good free app
No limited as others in TTS and the voice is good enough. Worth it!
Just what I needed
A nifty app for reading long documents, without any subscriptions
Easy to Use
This is a straightforward app that permits you to convert text to speech (audio file in caf format). There are some adjustments you can make such as voice selection, reading speed but I left it at the defaults and it worked just fine. Would recommend to a friend for a quick and easy way to convert text to an audio file.

helps me with my writing
I love hearing my chapters read back to me. It helps with objectivity.
