Good Voices, Bad App

Really the only thing this app has that other text-to-speech apps don't have is the iSpeech voices. Other than that, it's really nothing special at all. My biggest complaint is that you can't use the voices without an internet connection. With other high quality TTS apps (such as Voice Reader by Linguatec, or Speak It! by Future Apps, Inc.), if you purchase a voice, that voice is downloaded to your phone, and you can use it with no internet connection required. With this app, however, even if you pay for a voice, you don't technically get it. You just get to access it on iSpeech's servers. Then, as I discovered today, it can only handle a few sentences at a time. Anything more than that, and it doesn't read it. So basically, I paid to not have the voices on my phone, to only have access to them through an internet connection, and to have the app not read any text if I put more than a paragraph into the text window. Also, as I am blind, I use the VoiceOver accessibility feature on my iPhone. The app doesn't allow me to view all eight pages of available voices when using VoiceOver; I can only select from the voices on the first page. My advice to anyone looking for a good text-to-speech application: DON'T GET THIS ONE! Go with either Speak It! or Voice Reader. They've got better voices, control of voice speed, pitch and volume, and a lot more features that this app doesn't have.

Must have if you can't speak! Helps me communicate with others

I lost my voice 7 months ago, and I've been using this app to talk to people. Very sophisticated text recognition. It even changes intonation depending on the punctuation you use! It reads the sentence differently if you use a ? or a ! and it pauses for periods and commas. There are many different voices and languages, if you want to entertain people and make light of your disability. They were a great hit at the last party :)If you're using this app as your voice, here are some great tricks I've come up with! The iPhone can be quiet, especially when there's any competing noise. I bought an iHome mini-speaker that connects through the headphone jack, so the voice carries MUCH louder. It's great! I also bought a portable fold-up keyboard, that connects to the iPhone through wireless Bluetooth. This makes it much faster to type what you want to say!Please, please keep upgrading this app. There are some pronunciation and intonation problems that can be improved. It also acts buggy sometimes and won't speak until I restart it. Saved audio clips often do not play. Overall a really great app. I don't know what I would do without it, now that I have no voice. I hope it will continue to get better and better; I will come back and review the upgrades!

Very good, but...

I use this app to memorize my speaking parts in my Masonic Youth Organization. It was always very good for that, since I’m an auditory and visual learner. I can read over the part while listening to someone speak to it, and I can recite it along with the speaker. The best part was I could save the audio so I could listen to it again as many times as I wanted. Overall a very good app, it had all the tools I needed in the free version. However, I reduced one star since after the most recent update all of my saved audio was gone. I was upset, because I spent a lot of time typing those speaking parts. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to type them again since it would help me remember, but I’d rather not have do that since it took so much time to type them. Other than that this app is perfect for this purpose. I recommend it. I just hope this doesn’t happen again.

Awesome app, BUT

I would think that BOTH the female voices AND the MALE voices would be available for english. At least make ONE of the english voices available only as male by default (i.e.- instead of UK English female voice, have UK English male voice available for free, or do that for the US English voice—it really doesn't matter much which is made available by default, but when I cannot speak (as my friend couldn't) and want to try using an app instead of writing constantly, I would prefer to have my gender available. I know that probably sounds extreme, but my friend became ill with a terrible case of the flu and his throat hurt whenever he spoke. He was afraid he might damage his vocal cords, so I came up with the app idea instead of paper and pen. But he's a he.).I do agree the voice quality is probably the highest I've heard anywhere. You're awesome for that.I would also like to comment on the fact that the US English Female voice sounds, well, provocative (in the most common modern-day use of the word—also for lack of a better… child-safe word)

Great app for someone with speech difficulties

Thank you so much I am so happy I found this app. It really has allowed me to find my voice, which because of this app can range from American or French or Australian. Please any one with difficulty speaking please try this app.

Finally!

I recently had neck surgery. During the surgery, one of my voice box nerves became paralyzed. I am not supposed to use it for a while to help it heal. Hopefully, it's use will come back on its own. In the meantime, I have 4 kids and an amazing husband who have no idea what I'm saying.... Until now! I am so grateful for this app that allows me to communicate again without playing charades (which my family is horrible at) Even if it does takes me a bit longer now than actually speaking. I like the ability to save often-used phrases. The voices are among the most realistic I've heard. The only thing that could make this app better, is if I could push a button to delete out all of what I had previously written. I hate having to select everything & delete. Sometimes I forget, & that is just a big hot mess :) it would also be nice if the phrases saved in alphabetical order in addition to the order entered, as it saves them now. The description says that it can read emails, but either I'm really slow witted, or it doesn't do that. At least not that I've figured out. Not unless you copy & paste them in. It is also notable that you cannot use this app unless you have an internet connection. The only way to use it without, is with the saved phrases. I haven't experienced having to have an 'account' yet. All in all, this app is a definite keeper for me. :) Thanks again for developing such an amazing app for us to use! :) keep up the good work!

Like the update

I like the new look of the app! I have had it for year and it started to look like it was made years ago. All the new scanning features look useful too, but I haven’t tried them out yet.

Silence

It just don’t work

Like this app!!!

Can we appreciate how easy this app is to use. Being able to use the pdf reading option has saved me so much time, not to mention you can switch up the voice if you prefer a different speaker.
