We use state of the art technology to make a clear and natural voice.
Our application works like a regular browser with the exemption of an amazing feature. You can actually ask the browser to "read" for you the webpage you are browsing.
We use text to speech technology for this purpose, the voice of the narrator sounds almost human, you will love it.
-Perfect for reading stories (ebooks), news, long websites, forums and more.
-Currently the app reads only in English, we are working in adding 3 more languages (French, German and Spanish).

Terrible

Wow!!! Just wow!!! This app is beyond awful. I wasted .99. This is so bad it is not even worth downloading for free. I chose this app over the other because it can tts beyond 3000 characters. And yes it does that. However, you cannot copy and paste what you want read back. It just read's EVERYTHING on the page - headers, borders and all. And what makes matters worst is that you can't understand a word it's saying. It sounded like a VERY FAST, garbled robot sounding electronic voice. And I honestly don't know how the other reviewer read along with it because the page was stretched out so far. No matter how much I tried to pinch-to-fit the screen it did not shrink. I would not recommend getting this app until these issues are fixed.
Useless

Speech technology from 1995. Unable to discern context at all. May as well be speaking single letters....
Great idea but needs work

UPDATE: The site I was reading along with was a mobile site...I tried a full HTML site and it was a complete joke. Without the ability to read along it's worthless. Save your dollar. I'd like to share a few things I experienced for those considering purchase 1. Don't think you can let the app read anything to you without following along yourself. It mispronounces many words and doesn't follow punctuation very well. Also, it reads all the menu items and stuff from the top and sides of the web page. You will definately be lost without reading along! 2. They say the voice sounds "almost human". Maybe to an alien. But to me it sounds like the speak and spell voice. Overall it's a decent app to play around with but it needs a lot of work to do what I hoped it would...read web pages to me without having to look at the screen...it's faster and easier to just read the story yourself, but make no mistake, you won't be able to understand without reading along!
Useless

Total waste of money. Takes forever to load, voice is ridiculously bad quality, text interpretation is stupid, and the "create audio file" function creates only .wav's (did they not notice which company makes the iPhone???) and comes with the stupid message "audio files are only playable on a regular computer."
needs more work
wishing for safari
This is a killer concept. I encourage the developer to continue work on it. I like having it read while driving a car. But, it needs a browser like Safari. This browser is too basic.
Worthless!!!!!

Would be useful

It crashes after a couple words every single time. Too bad, I really wish it would work. Would be so useful on my iPod touch 4 iOS 6.1.3

I am Visually impaired And safari isn't the best. I tried this app despite the rating. The app needs an update. It doesn't even let me get into the text field. It probably has some other crappy issues, bugs! Please fix.
