What does Text Parrot do? Well - it’s plain and simple... it reads back whatever text or document file ( TXT/RTF/RTFD/EPUB/HTML/WebArchive) you have given it. Just open a document and tap play button to read it, or select what you want it to read and tap "Speak Selection" - within seconds, Text Parrot will be reading exactly what you have selected - it’s really that simple.
1 Text Parrot can ‘speak’ in more than 30 languages, switching automatically between each one or setting your language. You can also change the speed(0.5X-2.0X) for speaking.
2 Text Parrot can help you stay productive by reading documents in the background, whilst you compose an email in the foreground - that’s the magic of Speak.
3 Text Parrot is so much more than just your reading assistant - you can also compose a document ( txt/rtf/rtfd ), from within the app, as easy as having it read to you.
4 Save your document as a .txt, .rtf or .html file with a touch and change text properties , Convert your document to PDF or Image - it’s even easier than 1-2-3. There is so much more to Speak, but we simply don’t have the time to say it all.
5 With a built-in file browser, you can not only find documents, but other files too. Rename, move, copy, email or delete files within seconds. Compressing and unzipping files is easier than ever.
6 Share files through WiFi, iTunes and then sort them all, by size, name, file type or age - Text Parrot truly is the do-it-all app.
7. Dropbox syncing support.
Text Parrot - speaking your documents, creating your documents, managing your documents - the modern way.

Great for grad school
stmck
Grad school involves reading hundreds of research articles. Often I read multiple times, the first being mostly to get a general idea. The second time more in depth for note taking. This app allows me to listen to articles while doing other things (cooking, working out, etc), thus serving as the first read. Very easy to use.
Awesome

Very powerful, intuitive and integrated with other iOS apps and there functionality, east to export/import Files and text.
Very functional in a multi-task dependent world

I'm grateful for this app. It allows me to "read and re-read" lecture notes, e-texts, and copies of websites for continuing education lessons, while driving. All I have to do is create; copy and paste; and press play. I can listen during my commute. The only negative I've found so far is that the medical journals and biology education materials often have temporary changes in the voice/accent of the "speaker". It changes to a French- or Indian- accent and enunciation and is inconsistent for repetitions of the same word (i.e. benzodiazepines).
Not very good

This app doesn't add itself to the "open with" list so you can only add a document for it to read by using drop box. Super annoying.
epub reader works well
CandidPragmaticReviews
As an epub reader I find the text to speech functionality most useful. I also appreciate the developer's thoughtfulness in offering users the opportunity to unlock the full features of his work in return for posting their experiences with the app.
