Can’t understand the voice

ellen1985!

The reading voice in English has a strong German accent that is very difficult to understand. I wish I hadn’t purchased it before I tried it. Will be deleting and looking for a better reader.

Thank you for the awesome app! I have been using it for the last week and it is just fantastic!!! I was looking for something like this for a long, long time. I have really no complaints about the functionality and features. Ok maybe a couple: Keep the little play arrow visible a bit longer. Sometimes it's hard to catch it. The PDFs could use some work, but the main feature is just perfect. Being able to listen to articles in the browser is pure greatness. Works great at the office as well as at home. This is easily the most used app in my possession right now, except for maybe my own :) Thanks again for this cool app and keep up the wonderful work. BTW: I would easily have paid $5 for this much convenience.

Good, pronunciation needs work

DavidComposer

This app is good for basic reading. It cannot read technical language with correct pronunciation. For example, it read "waveform" as "wavyforms.". That may not bother you, but too many mistakes can make everything difficult to understand.

Controls are not good

Just4music

Controls stop working Some times or have too slow response time. No ease of making selections and reading. Functionality is there but not fully operational as expected.

Great, works as advertised

Great for listening to web pages during my commute (be careful though!). Can communicate with Safari via bookmarklets but haven't tried this yet. The developer seems to be working hard on new features, too, including Bluetooth control - good job! As for complaints about enunciation, this is simply how things are at this time - even the Kindle has same issues. Give the guy a break!

Awesome

So cool and useful. Would like an easy way to read emails. Is there an "open in" function for email... Also, I'd like to be able to forward articles. Most news sites have an "email to" function.

Love and hate it

TommyKay

When it works, it's fantastic. You can put on headphones and get things done as this app reads to you. It makes a car trip pretty useful. When it works. The problem is, it skips all over the page. It will read a few lines, then jump an inch down the page. When it reads everything on the proper order, it is bliss. Sadly, it shuffles many web pages into gibberish. Over half seem to be mangled, so it's no small problem. Bummer.

Worth every penny

I don't write reviews very often but felt compelled to do so with this App. I have always been a very slow reader and because of this reading can be very frustrating. This App has allowed me to be able to enjoy many articles, and Web pages that I otherwise would pass by. I like the design and the voice clarity is amazing. Great work and thank you very much.

Great text-to-speech reader!

Best text-to-speech so far! Integrates well with IOS

Thank you! Very helpful!

Wonderful product. Hidden gem in the app store, especially for those with reading-based difficulties. I have recommended this to students who are dyslexic and they have been delighted by it. In fact, the web reader was the only way one was able to have text-to-speech access to a locked PDF reading assignment for a class. Apparently, PDFs locked to prevent editing also block accessibility features! Needless to say, this app saved the day and made the reading part of the project much less tedious! :) Thanks!
