I purchased this app and it worked okay for a little while but now it won’t even open any more, I even tried uninstalling re-installing. Needs fixing.

I just purchased this app, but it will not even open without crashing. Very disappointing!

This reader is great. I am Dyslexic and I i have used alot of readers and this by far is the bust I have used thus far. I use this for all of my text books for class, and I would not be doing as well as I am in my classes with out this. Although I like the “Alex” voice I do wish there was a more clear female voice.

This softwar just read the text you can’t start where ever you want only from the start and the software don’t mark the word it is reading very disappointment

This is the worst app that I have ever seen or purchased. It has no help section. No instructions anywhere. I was unable to load any text either through the “load text” button or the “open" button. In fact, I was not able to get it to speak anything because I could not find a way of getting any text into the app to read. This is basically seems to be a sham. It seems to use the apple text to speech reader evidently, but doesn’t seem to know how to do that. I tried to copy text and paste it into the app, but that didn’t work either. Don’t know how to make it work, and there are no instruction to do this that I am aware of anywhere. I thought taht since it was just 2.99, how much was at risk. If you want to waste your money on an app that has no value, please feel free to reward this sham artist for his sad product. I am sure that other reviewers must be lucky or they are bogus reviews. I wish that someone at Apple would run a simple test to see if an app worked at least in basic terms before they listed it in the app store.

This app is a very good text to speech app. The ability to control the tempo is a great option. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is due to the fact that you can’t really pause the reading. It wil start over from the beginning if you stop it. Other than that, it works perfectly. Definitely worth the money.

My review is prompted off the fact that every time time I launch the app, it asks for a review. Every time, I say No and don’t ask again. But every time, it still asks. And it’s infuriating. It’s a liar. The app itself is fine. It does the job. It’s not great, but it works. If I gave the functionality alone a star review it would be 3.5 to 4 stars. I’m not blown away, but it works. But the prompt when I open the app is genuinely frustrating and for that, this app gets 1 star.

This was working good for me until

I found a good voice - Samantha - which was understandable and less robotic. I have been using this for a number of years. Suddenly, it just skips over a lot of punctuation, like a period "." This makes for a terrible and jolting experience. Please fix this ASAP!

simple yet gets the job done

I have no problem copying and pasting the text into this app and using the default macOS voices to convert the text to audio speech.

Worked for 1 day then it does NOT OPEN!

If it only opened!!!!!!!!! Worked for me for one day or so, then just won't open! Have tried repeatedly - without any success. Waste of money!

Awesome for lazy readers

I love to read and I need to do a lot of it for school- this is literally the perfect app for it. Just copy and paste, pick your speed, and press play.

Stop asking me to rate your app please.

I would give this app a reasonably good rating, but it keeps asking me to rate the app, and probably will keep asking me to rate the app even after I have done so. It’s an annoying feature of this application. I used to be able to export text as a sound file, but that doesn’t work anymore, and it crashes my entire system. Strangely, all the other apps similar to this do the same, crash while trying to export sound. I have a feeling this has more to do with Apple’s OS and the new way they handle audio. I’m on a iMac Pro, using macOS High Sierra. One thing I love about this application is the ability to pause the playback. I wish there was a feature for replaying the last 15 seconds.

Forced Review

EVERY TIME I OPEN THE APP IM FORCED TO REVIEW IT.

iNlCK · 7 years ago

Great app

I use this application daily. I will copy a chapter in a book, or an article i need to read. Paste it into the application, and begin to listen as I do dishes, or other chores. I have found some books, and places I am unable to copy, and paste, or upload information. I believe some books, and places have encripted their software to not allow anyone to copy, or upload.

Won't Convert

It only converts a small part of the text that I have pasted into it. I have loaded text from a .txt file and only a part of it will be converted.

STOP ASKING FOR A REVIEW!!!

Almost Perfect

This app is a very good text to speech app. The ability to control the tempo is a great option. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is due to the fact that you can’t really pause the reading. It wil start over from the beginning if you stop it. Other than that, it works perfectly. Definitely worth the money.
