### 5/5 — awesome

*2015-02-04, version 29.0*

Just want I was looking for! Love the features. Will purchase app in next couple of days. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Talk about a support aid

*2014-11-30, version 28.0*

I'm a teacher and needed something that my students could use for free .  Something that supported all content and mobile. Awesome product I wonder what the full version does. I plan to spread the word .

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-10-07, version 27.0*

I love this app; it became the big part of my life since I bought it two years ago. I use it mostly to listen to books from the Internet sites like Project Gutenberg that offer books in a text format. English is my second language and the 'SpeakText For Me' gives me the possibilities to listen to books, sentence by sentence, with a speed that is comfortable to me, the app translates all sentence to my native language, additionally I’m able to repeat all the difficult parts of the books as many times as needed to fully understand them. I spend with 'SpeakText For Me' one to two hours every day and, since I started using it, I have made very big improvements in my abilities to understand and speak English. I plan to use it for many more years, read hundreds more books and, at the same time, improve and perfect my English skills. I’m convinced that it is “must to have” app for everyone how tries to learn a new language.

### 4/5 — Worth the money

*2014-07-29, version 26.0*

I am using this app to speak aloud my written Spanish lessons. I plug the phone into the big screen and sound system, and teach the Spanish lessons to my family. Some functions are not user friendly but I can figure it out.
