“Auto-Detect Language function gone

The app was far more useful with its auto-detect language function that it had for the past few years. Why did you drop this?

I can simply use google translate and it has auto-detection.

Paste few sentences & shuts down

I'm glad I did not purchase this app, I tried the free one before buying, but when I pasted a few sentences to hear it speak, the app shuts down, I could not even try the speak option which is the most important, very unreliable developers as well as the app.

Love it

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.

Don't waste your time

Thought I could use my voice to send text to my brother if this does it I don't know how

I haven't master it yet but what little I have done has been very good.

Hood Job

So far yours has been the choice of my Spanish learning tool.

The best part is the number of repeats. It helps me to train my ears with different speech speed.

One comment.

After I have used it for a few months, the history size has become so large that it slows down the APP.

I could not find a quick way to erase all the recorded sentences that I have used.

I have to delete the app and reinstall it to clear my history.

I wish there were an easier way to clear my history.

Awesome ! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great new "Exercising and improving your language skills during a bike riding, jogging or walking" feature.

Worked for me

It took a few minutes and I was translating Japanese text into English text and it would speak it in English as well as Japanese.

I am running it on iPad mini.

Update is a fail!

I got an iPhone 5 and now some of my websites won't read.. I paid for the English part so I'm not happy that the whole reason I got the app won't work anymore.

Complete rubbish

Simply unusable and unbelievably buggy and useless. Did you guys even try it yourself before releasing it?
It's a total joke and in fact really embarrassing to let your friends and family know you actually wrote this app. Please don't ever let your friends or family know about it

Don't need this app

You can turn on text to speech in setting which reads an selection 💥

... Pff !

.. an Russian, or brilliant Romanian accent would make this app - I dunno - enjoyable in the least. This voice makes me nauseous.

Perfectly functional for conversation.

I just came down with a bad case of laryngitis and the app (free version) has been great for communicating with my young kids who can't simply read. It has worked flawlessly all day. Perfect free solution. Thank you, developers!

Amazing

I'm surprised this is free. Simple but gets the job done. Helpful for my speaking handicap

Best Translator App!

I love how I can type anything & have it automatically translate into several languages, but my favorite aspect is how I can translate something once over the Internet & save it so that I can hear the same thing translated whenever or wherever I want, without having to be online. The one thing I hate, is that some of the languages displayed aren't actually supported; which renders them completely useless.

Deleting the App.. Not even giving it a chance

I downloaded this. THEN as it downloads, started reading reviews. Wow.. So many low reviews. The high reviews are not really encouraging.. So I'm just going to delete it without trying.. Seen enough.

A could be success!

I think this looks neat, and could be very useful! If only the 'about' portion was more clear. It looks like it was a translation of the original document outlining the product, but un-edited. Check it over (edit) and enjoy the $$. I won't download until I understand it better. The same sentence 10 times does not constitute a thorough explanation. Great idea though! Hope it works!

P.S. Stop rating yourself and start improving your app. Read your reviews and fix it. You've only made a tiny bit of money here (I'm guessing only a hundred or 2), and you could get 10x that amount, or more, per week if you just got to work for a couple of days! I dropped you two stars for your obvious boosting of your own ratings. Get to work! Stop being petty! Get rich! Get it? One star, because you should know better.

P.P.S. I downloaded this just to give you a review... Eventually You'll get flagged for boosting your own rating. Don't waste your effort on dumb crap. This app has potential.

Not really free, $20!!

Only reads one sentence to you then stops and says buy full version. :-/

Can't open from Dropbox

This would easily get 5 stars if I could transfer docs from Dropbox directly to SpeakText. As is, I open the files in Dropbox, reopen them in GoodReader, and select one page at a time to paste into SpeakText. The point of using this app and paying $20 for it was to make text accessible. It is so close to being perfect, but not being able to directly load docs into the app without having to connect to the computer is very frustrating. Can you create a way for Dropbox to recognize your app and put their docs in your publications or documents folder? If I could directly upload to your app like I put things in Dropbox, that would be fine, too.
For the most part, I am very impressed with the speech recognition, although she kept reading one word wrong. When I remember what that word was, I'll come back to let you know.

SpeakText

This app is amazing. I tried the free version and was so excited that I decided to purchased the whole bundle. It is worth it. Thank you producers. Excellent work.
