I scan in documents. It says it's reading them out loud but it's not. **Developer response:** Your current iOS version is outdated for the app to work properly. Please update to the latest release. ### 4/5 — Hassans review *2026-01-11* It’s very worth the price ### 3/5 — Not quite ready for real time OCR to Speech *2025-10-09* 09 Oct 2025: I am continually searching for app to help a severely dyslexic 83 year old person that is incapable or reading even the simplest thing like store labels, short notes, etc. This app is one of the closest that I have found that doesn’t ask the user to amputate both arms for subscribing as others do. However, it has its issues that I have outlined below. 1. Taking a picture and having it OCR converted to speech takes too long and this doesn’t make the app as convenient and quick as one would expect even though it does a really good job at doing just that. 2. It uses an unnatural computer generated (robotic in nature) voice and has no setting to alter the voice used even though translation can alter the speech a bit. 3. It only offers a monthly subscription and no annual one which may be ok for some; but, a constant annoyance to others who would use it constantly and would appreciate the typical discount for an annual subscription. I’ll continue to check-in on the development process for this app to see if the one critical thing, speed, is addressed making it a great app for dyslexics. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We've updated the app to scan pages 10x faster. Natural voice tones are being rolled out progressively. Please update to the latest version to access these features. ### 5/5 — First app that seems to capture handwriting that I have found *2022-10-05* I am trying to convert handwritten notes to text for text to speech use. This app is the first promising app I have found ### 3/5 — Gespeicherte Dateien *2021-09-18* Wie kann man die Dateien „Speichern zum späteren Lesen“ wieder löschen? Danke für die Info **Developer response:** Diese Funktion sollte in der nächsten Version der App verfügbar sein. Dranbleiben! ### 5/5 — Smart engineering *2021-09-03* Highly accurate text scanner, clear speech, ad free, straightforward to use, I highly recommend this app!! ### 4/5 — Director, MDSupport.org *2021-08-31* This app works as advertised. My only issue is with the time it takes to scan. Works well with voiceover and is comparable to other similar technology. The translation and colloquial read-back feature is nice. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2021-07-10* Brilliant scanner but the audio doesn’t work for me. ### 5/5 — It works well for me *2021-04-25* It brilliant for me because I can’t read anything more than a few words ### 3/5 — does its job, but not a solid app *2021-01-02* not smart enough to tell when internet connection or image quality is causing it to fail, etc., but it does scan text and read it aloud - when you can get it to work. **Developer response:** Hi, Issue have been resolved with the latest update for iOS14! ## Frequently asked questions about Talkie OCR ### What is Talkie OCR?
