Why not easy to paste text to be read aloud?

If we want to support safe driving, Speaky should allow free and easy paste to read aloud (PTRA) capabilities that would allow a driver to select enough text for a 30 min commute to be easily read aloud on that commute. If the “I’m driving” feature is selected and the text starts before the commute (moving at driving speeds), then this would be a great improvement that promotes Speaky as well as safe, hands-free cell phone use while driving. You could even have a selection to block interruptions while driving & PTRA are ongoing.

Deliberate control of social media is the best thing about internet & social media; please help make this possible by promoting safe driving & listening.

Like it very much but one major malfunction wit earbuds

I’m using very well integrated to iphone ios environnement Beat Fit Pro earbuds. I can « clic » on my ear earbuds to pause, but clicking again to resume voice reading just doesn’t work. To pause & resume reading directly from earbuds while I’m on the go is a must.

Whenever I put text in, only a small bit plays

I’ve been using this for years but stopped recently when I noticed that, whenever I put a text into the editor, only a small paragraph plays. The app was wonderful but has become useless.

Great

Great little app. Thanks!

Update: Still great little app November 2025! 👍

I love this app

It's very useful and very easy to use.
