Chunking, custom api request editing

Would be nice to be able to specify a minimum number of characters to send in a chunk to my local ai server to help the tts. Some amount of customization of the request to the ai server would be nice too. Maybe an offline processor, to generate the full audio book without any real time processing? Or chapter by chapter?

best app on text to speech

customizable And now with the new sounds that you can download the other app, it is really really fantastic. The sound are genuine and they're good. They're very good actually. -

Terrible reader

On a basic level, it can’t even download PDFs in a way that the text can be read. Sentences in words are all stacked together without space in between them. As a result, the reader just spells out sentences instead of reading word by word. It’s even worse is that it leads out components of sentences cuts off paragraphs.
The reader is terrible. The voice is not smooth and cannot distinguish acronyms from words. I wish I never paid money for this garbage.

No title just make it stop

Yup good app. Want the rate and review pop ups to stop

Nagging for review = one star.

See title.

Good but some words are badly pronounced

This is actually an app for turning PDF and other files into audio files.

However, there are some glaring mistakes with pronunciation of very common words like “reached” or “sunshine” that you think would not be difficult to pronounce even for an AI bot but they apparently are.

Accessible, intuitive, and easy to use

Came across this app and now absolutely love it! I find it to be the easiest way to save webpages and news articles and other things I want to go back to and look at and use as references for things like books movies other lists of information that I want to keep for the future

Scrambles document text and becomes unintelligible

There has always been a minor issue with the document import where it would drop the odd word but it’s gotten significantly worse lately where it moves whole sentences around and the audio becomes a bit of a garbled mess - please fix!!

Rating glitch

This app has asked me to rate it SEVEN TIMES!!!

It use to have a four star rating, but this constant need for validation glitch has cost the app a star

Great for dyslexia

I have severe dyslexia and I struggle ate reading this app makes it very easy to go through my favourite fanfics or books

This is what I am looking for it

I found it really enjoyable to listen to a book while driving and walking with my Bluetooth earphones.

Works great

Download fanfic onto the app so I can listen on the go

Cannot read scanned PDFs

This app cannot read scanned PDFs. I already bought it but it cannot read scaned PDF

Very good app

But I’m mostly doing this in hopes that the app will stop asking me to review it

Please refund me

I bought pro because the free tier voices were really bad, but it had the exact same voices.

Okay it’s the best

Only because the “Are you enjoying this app” pop up keeps assaulting me every time I open this app and desperately hope it stops after I leave a Written review along with my forth 5-star review, YES I might use this app a little too much for reading my fics. Biggest perk is it’s free even if the AI voices are a bit rough. I did find a way to upload a slightly better one but still not the greatest. I’ve gotten used to it. I like that it saves my stuff in one place. Again it’s FREE, so beggars can’t be choosers. Room for improvement, but don’t think that’s the goal for the creators of this app because I’ve had it while and haven’t seen many changes. If you want delivery for the cheap price of FREE, this is your reader app.

Excellent

Very good app!

Great, but has a few bugs

I’ve been using this app for a few years and overall it does 90% of what I want. The only gripe I have with it is that it doesn’t play very nicely with AirPods. It seems to interpret the in ear detection as a toggle so that sometimes when I take out one of my AirPods from one of my ears, it will just start playing. Occasionally it also starts playing on speaker when I put my AirPods away.

This is exactly what I need.

Fantastic, simple and efficient
