User reviews

NOT what I was expecting

I thought scanning any book it would read it but, you have to scan/take pictures of EVERY page if you want it read. I wish Kindle and Speechify had a baby and have the books and listen while it reads… just not for me is all.

Expensive asf.

Don’t let the little tutorial fool you, you do not get any of the voices you choose in the tutorial after it’s finished, and they charge 199$ a year, if you don’t plan on paying for it, you’re better off using text to speech that’s already on your phone, rather than buy a bunch of Ai voices.
TLDR; cash grab. all good reviews are probably bots.

Seems Good so far!

So far I like what I am hearing, it would be good for me to go back and adjust the speed, but other than that I’m enjoying the App! Thank you

Always loved this app but now

The update is killing me! I used to be able to go back to what I was listening to now I can barely upload anything. There are so many glitches. Can we just go back to the old version what is going on?

Horrible and not recommended

This is likely the worse app I have paid for in years. Loaded with false marketing about what it offer.

Don’t make the same mistake twice
