User reviews

Serves niche in text-to-audio space for news links, research papers on the go

I use it while driving. Paste a link or pdf and it’s quite helpful

Pros: found it very helpful for getting quick audio versions of news articles + papers colleagues share with me. Quick to setup, paste a link / pdf and you’re good to go.

Cons: interface is a bit crowded and you have to download a better voice than the default (though this is still free and quick). Flexible to changing rating in future updates.

Good app, very high ceiling
