    The voices sound natural and there are a lot of options, but you only get 5 minutes of the premium reading service for free each day.

    I am deaf and I often use it to communicate with parents or someone else. I don’t have to feel stuck as if I am in middle or prison, not able voice my opinions.
  • Paying for my own voice

    Is a cool app but I used my voice to listen to some writing as none of voices were rich enough. I listen to my work to gauge it better, I thought creation was free but isn’t. I’m not paying to listen to my voice or loves ones oh well

    Overall, I’m super hyped about this app I got super excited when I discovered it because I am so busy. I can’t always read a book so now I can read on the go :) to me it’s worth the initial investment or monthly . Although I am experiencing some technical issues with the app functionalities 1) it seems to play sentences over and over again at random times and I have to manually click the sentence or the next sentence to allow the AI to continue reading, if not, it continues to read it over and over until paused or skipped. 2) sometimes the pause button gets stuck. I will press pause while the AI is reading and it will continue to read. Issue is fixed if I skip seconds, or press button multiple times (with great fury ) 3) I also noticed that sometimes it will skip sentences or paragraphs, but this may not necessarily be the app maybe the PDF file and format although it is something to note Thanks

    After over a year of using this app, March 27, 2025 is the day I finally canceled. The performance degradation makes me wonder if anyone is manning this thing anymore. It drops words and skips sentences, even PARAGRAPHS and won’t let me scroll to where I want to listen. I’ll tap the text and it just…refuses to respond. It takes TEN MINUTES to buffer sometimes. The amount of times I have logged out of the app or even restarted my phone hoping it will help performance issues is absurd for a service that costs $17 a month to use. It’s like they have no respect for their subscribers. Yesterday’s update only made it worse, as their updates often do. There are too many other options for AI readers to stick with one that has this many issues, and natural voices are getting better every day. Save your money and look elsewhere. Original review: When this app works, it works great. But it has some really annoying quirks, including the random buffering that can take minutes. It skips the first word of a sentence or skips paragraphs. It won’t read anything inside of parentheses. It will crash on occasion or stop playing when your screen locks. Then you have to log out and back in to fix the behavior. Recently, the most ANNOYING and distracting bug is the way the AI voice will just slip into another language out of nowhere. It takes an obviously English phrase and reads it as Spanish or French gibberish. I could overlook it if it was infrequent. But it’s several times per chapter. Other than that, their cache of voices is growing and getting better. It’s a better and less pricey alternative to some other apps that have even worse bugs. Just please, PLEASE fix the random switching of languages. I am begging you.
