Gut, aber ausbaufähig

Noch nicht perfekt, aber zweckmäßig und ohne Abo verfügbar. Ich wünsche mir, dass ich Texte im Nachhinein noch andern kann ohne sie neu anlegen zu müssen. Außerdem möchte ich sekundengenau zurückspulen können. Ich möchte meine Hörbücher exportieren können um sie am Freund zu senden, gerne in gängigen Formaten. Und die KI Stimmen sprechen teilweise Worte und Zahlen falsch aus, Nachbearbeitung ist möglich, aber kann aufwendig sein. Pluspunkte: einmal zahlen, kein lästiges Abo. Für meine private Nutzung (Hörbücher kreieren für Schulmaterial) ausreichend.

Simple, works great!

This was the first app I tried and it has been my favorite. I really like the voices. It is a one time fee. They don't collect my data and I can use it offline. What's not to love.

I wish I could do slight bigger files. I have a few books that are 16mb and the highest it can do is 15.

Response from developer

Hi Heather2026, Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm really happy to hear that you're enjoying Vocaread, especially the voices, offline support, and our privacy-first approach. I will increase the maximum upload size in an upcoming update so that larger books like yours can be imported. Thanks again for your feedback and support! Emmanuel

Amei

Amei esse APP. Porém, não mostrou as primeiras páginas de um livro em EPUB (ignorou a introdução, por exemplo)

Olá, obrigado pela sua mensagem. Na verdade, VocaRead faz processamento para determinar o capítulo automaticamente. Ele remove qualquer coisa que não seja um capítulo real (se ele conseguir encontrar) Vou trabalhar para tentar detectar as introduções reais também Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio Emanuel

Très bonne application

J'écoute des livres depuis des années avec une autre application. Vocaread vient de la remplacer. 2 suggestions: 1) le volume este très bas par rapport aux autres applications (ecouteurs à 80% pou 70db). 2) l'accès aux sommeil est fastidieuse. Maintenir appuyé sur bouton plat pour choisir la mise en veille sera plus pratique

Bonjour iPenseur, Je vous remercie pour votre message. J'ai pris note de vos suggestions et elles seront prises en compte dans la prochaine version. Cordialement, Emmanuel

Super pratique pour les amateurs de livres audio

Cette application est top pour les amateurs de livres audio.

Le gros plus de cette appli, en plus de sa gratuité, c’est de pouvoir y charger des livres en différentes langues sans se soucier de la connaître car l’application traduit le texte à la volée et de manière fluide je trouve.
