Whew!!!!!
Fix the bugs!!! The app shuts down for no reason. It speeds up or slows down, it turns off and it takes days to upload books. Most importantly tho my books are starting to disappear 🤦🏽♀️

For some reason all of my covers are reverting to a standard VDR cover 😡 the standard cover books go to the top of the list hundreds at a time. I’ve created a folder to put these books in just to get them out of the way, however every few days they come back. In the middle of reading my book will stop I press play and it reads back a few sentences. When I go back to my home page all those books are right back again. I’ve moved 1300 books that have lost their covers. This is why I cancelled my subscription.

This kind of software make life of so many people so much easier and this specific one doing a great job. Keep on doing what you’re doing guys.
Excellent but voice config has gotten worse
I have used VoiceDream for years and it’s been an amazing app. Recently, the voice selection and configuration has gotten difficult to user. For example, adjusting voice speed seems very glitchy. I think some of the speed config doesn’t apply to the AI Enhanced voices and instead different config needs to be used, but a) that’s bad UI even tho no doubt there are technical reasons behind it, and b) at least the inapplicable config should be unavailable for voices it doesn’t apply to.
In addition, personally I don’t value AI summarization and similar features within VoiceDream at all. I can always use my favorite AI chat interface to summarize any document easily and with full control. The unique feature I use VoiceDream for is to read the original or summarized doc to me *with a great, easy to use, bug-free* interface, and that is where the devs should maintain their laser focus IMO.

Bug
When reading an EPUB file aloud, it often keeps looping the same section of content over and over, as if it were a bug. This didn’t happen before.
Not working
I’ve tried to get in touch with these people and they don’t respond. It’s not working and I paid for it. Customer service is not taking care of business
Great
Need more updates and not try to recharge me
This app has gone downhill
What happened to this app? I used it a few months ago and it worked great. It still sounded a bit robotic, but it wasn’t terrible. Obviously not perfect; but good enough to listen to. Well, I signed back up and paid for a year and it’s horrible now. For example, it pronounces the word “I’ve” as “ivy” and says the word “period” when there is a period present. And now, the integrated kindle app stopped working. I’m really frustrated and disappointed.

Voice Dream over Microsoft Edge
Works better than Microsoft. Voices are too robotic, please change it! Thanks.
A true Study Aid
Great App, easy to adjust, bring a voice to help out with reading
Scam app
I didn’t free trial on this app, it renewed, so I cancelled the subscription and deleted my account. A year later they continue to take the annual subscription fee from my account despite me cancelling the subscription and account. Their support email also bounces back.
Accessibility degrading steadily
This app was the gold standard in versatility and elegant interface for reading with screen reader. New features such as AI summary are still not accessible although it was reported to developers. It still remains a powerful app compatible with many text and audio formats, but it feels like focus of developers may be less a-tuned to accessibility considerations. Still one of my main reading apps for taking notes while reading.

Nightmare app
Difficult to use. Confusing interface.
Try to change speed of the voice. Good luck finding how to do so.
Want to skip a page? Good luck.

No trial?
I will not even consider buying a Read Aloud without knowing what voices are included or available. Consider that if you want to increase customer engagement.
Love it- Voice Dream
I have been using this app for years, and I appreciate it. I like all the different aspects of it—the apps. I have Asperger‘s. I have a high IQ, but still, I need somebody to read something to me to understand what’s being read fully. it’s been one of the best investments I made myself. They got me to college and even working all these years. All my employers will install it as a see even dictation is better. I also use Grammarly.

Ehhh
An absolutely ungodly amount of call to actions before you can even begin to give the product an actual run through. If you misclick anywhere, you can no longer access certain offers or options, and truthfully this userflow has been so frustrating that it shows that the application is built by marketing and not engineering, and I can’t trust it to deliver as a result.

I have loved this app for years but recently
Since they added AI voices and AI features into the app, even though I’m not using them, using Voice Dream makes my phone heat up intensely and eats through my battery very quickly (and sometimes it’s so hot that it won’t let me charge the battery until it cools down - and this is on a iphone that’s only about a year old! I can’t imagine how it would work if it were any older.
I’ve tried several apps, I came back to this one, but I’m going to have to move on if they don’t fix this soon.

Vision and great resources
This is one of them.
This program on my phone got me through a very rigorous graduate level program with honors. I was able to listen to all textbooks and articles with ease. I could adapt the speed the color. The print.

Not impressed
When I scan a book it doesn’t do a good job getting the words correct a lot of mistakes which is super frustrating
Freezes in MacOS-Cannot Install
The installation stops at the enhanced voices window. And then there is a menu box at the top that says “Type to Speak”. The only way that I could get rid of that is by installing a new MacOS version. I still have not been able to install this application on my Mac computer. I don’t know what’s gonna happen when I try to install Voice Nightmare! Help!
