Not what I’m looking for…

The app appears to be written for readers of fiction and not for textbooks, or documents that have illustrations or like items in them, making them worthless for use with anything other straight text documents…

Horrible After Update

Took away the one standard English voice that I preferred above even the enhanced ones.

App problems

Hey, every time I login or like just try to use the app a couple seconds later I get kicked out or after I used it for a while. I think everything’s OK. I get kicked out again and every time I try to post my thing I get kicked out too sometimes when I go back and it’ll show up again, but it’s a hit or miss. Can you please fix this problem?

Uygulama açılmıyor

Uygulamayı satın aldığım halde açılmıyor sürekli donuyor parama yazık oldu ya.

Skips words and whole paragraphs (useless)

This app can’t read PDFs well at all. It’s basically useless since that ‘s all I really needed it to do. Ahh well.. a wasted 12 bucks!

Don’t waste your money

Tried this as an alternative to Speechify as you can pay monthly with ReadBit but quickly found out how bad the app is. AI voices sound fake and no where near as good as speechify. The AI just skips paragraphs at a time and there is no free trial, if there was I would’ve canceled the subscription instantly

Pausing reader

I like that app a lot actually. It’s just that sometimes the reader just stops or just pauses for a long time. It’s better than paying for audible tho but still annoying and should be fixed.

Perfect

This is exactly what i was looking for.

Hayatımda en çıkarsız bir uygulama

Harika tek kelimeyle emeğinize sağlık❤️

Premium Voices

Hi, The “expressive”voices are great, however it is ruined by the constant glitches and stop starts while listening. Please can you investigate. Thank you

The best voice reader out there today

Positives:
The text to speech is flawless. You can’t tell the difference between a human and the AI. Truly impressive. Natural reader, dream reader, and others don’t even compare. I will never use another app for this.

I love the way it organizes the library

Negatives:
However, it randomly pauses sometimes. Understandable. It’s using the internet to interpret the text. But they need to dedicate more resources to this. It’s a problem sometimes. A bigger problem than other apps.

It reads footnotes. I wish there was an option to cut out footnotes, page numbers, superscripts for citations, etc.

The margin crop feature doesn’t seem to work

Wish list for future updates:
I would love it if they had the ability to download the entire book audio so I can listen on the train on my way to work. This is a feature most apps don’t have so this isn’t the fault of ReadBit

I would love a chrome browser extension

I wanted to put down some minor criticisms but I will never use another app for this. Even with those criticisms, this app is by far the best. I hope to see the company grow so they can add new features. I would even pay more for the features if they set up tiered subscription or something.

Keep it up

Nursing assistant book

The reading it’s horrible constantly skips paragraphs, lines or entire sentences and gets lost when there is a picture. Not good

Skipped entire lines of text

I’m dyslexic and decided to down load this to listen to as I read along with my text books. After taking multiple pictures it is still missing completely lines and skipping around. Useless to me getting my information. Deleting app now.

so much bug

they randomly reset the app so all my documents are gone

why is the app showing that it has 15g worth of documents but none of the documenta are showing up in the app???? give them back. I collected those documents over the course of a year, and it took DAYS to organize and put them into playlists. then i open the app today and it says “syncing data” and when it finally loads all of it is just GONE. except! the app is taking up 15g of storage because of all it’s “documents and data”. and ive tried to contact someone for support or look for any reason this would happen and the most i've gotten is an email saying that someone will review my email in 3-5 business days i literally had an actual meltdown in my car for fifteen minutes because this is the one consistent thing i have to help stimulate my brain when i’m doing tasks. not impressed.

Best thing for fics and ao3

Best thing to listen to fanfics that I would never actually be able to even start reading 😋

Exactly what I was looking for

I just wanted a basic free app to read me back stuff I’m writing and it delivered with the option to upgrade the voice. I may upgrade the voice but it is usable as is

One thing

It does not read the parentheses. I’m not sure why, but this should be fixed.

Fantastic

Nice app

Great AI voices but scan feature needs work.

I really like listening to the AI voice ‘Nova’. However, when I scan pages into my phone the app crashes and when it doesn’t crash and it successfully scans the page, it’ll make up words that aren’t words and misplace text so sentences don’t make sense. I’m not sure if that’s just a compatibility issue with my archaic iPhone XR, maybe?

The other issue is I wish I could set ‘Nova’ as my default voice instead of choosing her every time.

The interface is relatively user friendly and all in all it’s a great app. I look forward to seeing what else it can do and I hope it works out for you if you’re giving it a try! Maybe it’ll work better on a newer iPhone!
