To see what I’ve typed (as to fix/remove any possible errors) I have to highlight the entire text, copy and paste to/from another app. A minor annoyance that one can work around although I’m sure it’s not exactly how the developer intended this app to have to be used. Time for an update/bug fix maybe?? ### 3/5 — Stop or pause and play *2021-02-27, version 1.1* Is their a way u can pause and continue cuz every time i come out of the app it starts all over again but gud app ### 3/5 — Can’t see text with dark mode. *2020-12-03, version 1.1* Can you please add or it’s this. If using dark mode on iOS the text does not show up. Other than this it’s a great app! ### 3/5 — It was good but.. *2020-11-09, version 1.1* It stopped working after one day ### 4/5 — Great app, but one problem... *2020-10-12, version 1.1* When I type something, it’s invisible! The voice still says what I typed, but I don’t know if I miss typed something, because it’s invisible! Please fix this )=> Great app though. ### 3/5 — Good, but cant find audio *2020-07-12, version 1.0* I looked everywhere and cant find it.. ### 5/5 — Great Free App *2020-07-08, version 1.0* As a free App, this Text-to-Speak reader is the best one I've come across. It's clear, the pauses after punctuation marks is good. It struggles a little with some contractions & abbreviations but nearly all TTS software does (eg: it read 'ft' as 'featuring', rather than 'feet'). It would be nice to have a pause button but can't have everything for nothing. The ads are too annoying either. Overall, 9/10..... ### 4/5 — Just One Problem *2020-07-01, version 1.0* I have had this app for only a couple of hours and at first it was really good and working well. I need app for my YouTube channel but for some reason when I clicked speak it didn’t talk or whatever . Pls fix this 🥺 this is the only app that I have found that has what I need. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-06-28, version 1.0* This app is spectacular! I make some videos for myself and I just use my screen recorder to use this! My only problem is that there are a decent amount of ads other then that this is an amazing app! ### 4/5 — A good app :) *2020-06-16, version 1.0* I was using this for voice acting and it works good for now. I know that it’s used for more important things than this but I like it XD ### 5/5 — This is soooo funny the Best TTS I’ve ever seen *2020-05-25, version 1.0* This has Daniel(en-GB) who in my opinion is the best TTS voice he says things without laughing and he says it with the strait voice he has, all this app needs is a (pure) communist voice!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2020-03-02, version 1.0* When I had Mono my throat hurt and I could barley talk. Although when I did talk it made the back of my throat hurt so bad. But when I found out about this app everything changed, my throat wasn’t bothered anymore. All I had to do was type instead of talk. ### 3/5 — There are some problems with this app I would like fixed *2020-02-23, version 1.0* As you read the title I would like some things fixed the thing I want fixed is that you can’t export it to KineMaster to make gacha vids ### 4/5 — My review *2020-02-20, version 1.0* Good app but doesn’t pronounce some words correctly like some names or like I said some words. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time time *2020-11-22, version 1.1* Ads pop up every 30 seconds ### 1/5 — Glitch? *2020-06-01, version 1.0* When I press speak it doesn’t even make any sound at all. ### 1/5 — What the heck *2020-03-21, version 1.0* Just so you know, I didn’t even get the chance to use the speech button yet, an ad came up and I clicked the box to type something so it would speak, but it brought me to the ad and out of a inappropriate video. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — What? *2019-11-07, version 1.0* This is what I was looking for but not exactly... As I spend minutes looking for the button to download the audio into your files, I noticed that their is no button for that. That’s all :3 ### 1/5 — It does not work with iPhone XR *2019-09-24, version 1.0* I just kicks me off the app ### 1/5 — noise/volume *2019-06-22, version 1.0* when i press the “speak” button i do not hear absolutely nothing. ### 1/5 — My text disappears *2018-11-22, version 1.0* Every time I’ll type in something, my text disappears. ### 1/5 — Speak *2017-06-06, version 1.0* Why does the bottom half of my screen keep coming up black after I have added text. It means I cannot see most of the text. I have to shut off my iPad and reboot every time ### 2/5 — It was ok, until... *2020-03-20, version 1.0* It was working just fine. I even had some phrases typed out and saved for a video I was gonna do. And it’s not that I can’t save it, it’s that it stopped working all of a sudden. I tried on my iPhone, and my iPad. I even deleted the app on my phone (which was where the phrases were typed out) But there was no sound when I pressed the speak button. So please fix this bug, it really needs some fixing. ### 3/5 — Limitations *2022-04-27, version 1.1* Very good but has certain limitations. If your screen times out it stops. If you change applications it stops. You cannot pause your playback nor edit it. I have still found it very useful. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing but... *2024-03-12, version 1.1* It needs more accents and Nintendo voices ### 5/5 — It’s great. *2023-08-25, version 1.1* I’ve been looking for a text to speech that 1.Worked 2.Didn’t have an ad every 2 sec 3. Didn’t “sound like a celebrity” and 4. Doesn’t require a free trial/ subscription or coins. And this is the perfect one. My favourite voice is Fred. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-03-14, version 1.1* I was looking for voice converters for YouTube videos and all of them were filled with ads - except for this one! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-03-16, version 1.1* I can use this for voicing robot jones in my animations ### 5/5 — Lost my voice *2021-02-06, version 1.1* I was told by a dr to not speak for 3 weeks. This will help ### 5/5 — Oh my god yes *2021-01-11, version 1.1* I needed this THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-25, version 1.1* I can write what ever I want and it sounds like a robot!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-05, version 1.1* My first time using this app it’s wonderful ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-08-26, version 1.0* Maybe add more variety off people once u get the chance but overall very very acceptable app for me ### 5/5 — 👍 *2020-07-19, version 1.0* I love it so useful when I lost my voice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
