User reviews

Dictate Drafts

I dictate rough drafts into Synthy's text box, then listen back to hear the flow. Hearing my own words read aloud catches awkward phrasing I miss when reading silently. It's like a first round editor.

Great stuff

I load my work emails into this app before leaving the house. The app continues reading while my phone is locked and in my pocket. I walk to the train, board, and arrive at the office having already cleared my inbox.

Text Extraction

This is a wonderful app. I found a long-form essay on a site with terrible mobile formatting. I pasted the URL into Synthy, and the app extracted the text, cleaned it up, and read it aloud in a natural voice.

Chapter Recognition

This is great for creating your own audiobooks. I downloaded an old public domain novel and imported it into the app. It recognized the chapter breaks, read with proper pauses, and didn't stumble on archaic language.

Calm Narrator

This app's voices have natural intonation, rhythm, and even subtle emotion. The female British voice sounds like a calm audiobook narrator. I forgot I was listening to an AI by the third chapter.
