Great and Simple - iOS 27 issues
This great app has become a little dysfunctional since iOS 27 came out. Even before that, there was an ongoing problem where you play a fairly long article, and it randomly stops playing in the middle of it with a busy/thinking icon in the center of the screen spinning.
Now with iOS 27, another problem- the voice comes on twice at the same time. If you press Pause, one voice pauses but the other one keeps going. I’m sure Apple made some changes that broke the correct behavior of the app. If the developer could please look into this, I would appreciate it!

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.

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.
Price
I was given a price for pro, but wasn’t able to download it at the time. When I opened the app again, it was about twice as much.
It's embarrassing.
An app I've been using for over 7 years
However
With the latest update, it has become a paid app, and
All the notes I've recorded over the past seven years have been deleted.
I don't think I need to say anything else.
It's embarrassing.

Simple TTS App with Great Developer Support
Speaky is a simple, powerful text-to-speech app that works offline and requires no account. Add articles via URL, files, or paste text, using Apple's built-in voices including premium voices (like Zoe). The developer is responsive and quickly added an export feature.
Three features would make it perfect: progress tracking with last played position, Instapaper integration and visual enhancements with images within articles and thumbnails for list of articles.

Just getting to know it
I am just finding my way around Speaky, but I do like the big word page it really helps while following along with the readings.
Only reads part of the webpage
I pasted a URL, and it only read a little portion of the webpage. Please do something about it. Thank you.
Parfait lecteur !
Presque toutes sources sont disponibles. Hyper pratique. Permet de créer une série de site, d’articles… on prépare ses lectures thématiques et la soirée commence !
Pretty good...
I really like this game but kinda hard to do so 4 stars
SA
Excellent apps using it for the last 4 years
Does not spy on you. Does what it needs to do.
This is great for listening to academic papers while driving in your car. You can pause and take voice notes. I just installed it but it looks to hit the mark. Hopefully I can ask which section/paragraph I am in for my voice notes and also jump around to different notes via voice…

Pretty good …1 wish tho
Pretty good….I wish it had ability to download audio file in background & export it (make available offline)
I know it would take time to process 100+ page pdf books but that would be amazing

So useful
I’ve been using this since 2014 and even though new tools come I still use it. It’s my morning routine to play my notes
