User Reviews for Text to Speech!

This app is great BUT

This app is awesome but it constantly runs commercials after the first day. It was not offered as a buy app and I can’t find a way to pay for it so I can have it without commercials. And I mean like a full screen take over of a Reese’s ad with music and video. The x come pretty soon to close it but if you are having a important conversation with your family about your treatments and this ad pops up while they are asking you important questions and stops you from typing and you forget what you wanted to say. It’s not great help. Also handwriting stuff when you have certain problems is not the best option so don’t come at me and be like just write it on a piece of paper. I need the predictive text to help me. But it’s a good app for what it is.

Laryngitis made this app a necessity

Having lost my voice, I needed a way to communicate with others that would be easy to use. The doctor insisted on no taking for at least 24-48 hours, and I didn’t know how I’d be able to exist without talking. This app is perfect for my needs. I’m able to type up what I want to say and I can stay a part of the conversation without having to scribble on a notepad and pass papers around like I’m in some secret society meeting. I like that I can change the font size and the speaking voice and volume, as well as the speed of the text.

Great voices, absolutely horrible ads.

This app is very good for when you need a text to speech app that works and functions properly. Unfortunately the ads, really scared me when they popped up. Some ads contained scary images that absolutely despised. One ad, was an ad for a cult?! I felt like this was the downfall because I genuinely loved this app. It was very nice, but you need to fix the way the ads work. Not pop ups, maybe try to get ads that aren’t scary to said user. These ads I’m seeing can literally give someone a panic attack. Not only were there scary ads, but also scam ads. “WIN A MILLION!!!” Is clearly a scam, I can see some kid possibly clicking on that and get some sort of virus or malware. Either way, fix this and it might be considered good once more.

Excellent App

This app has given me a voice again! My jaw was recently paralyzed, and I've been passing notes and writing e-mails at work just to communicate. That is no longer necessary with this app. I tried multiple text-to-speech apps, and this one is the best by far. There are lots of voices to choose from, you can save your most commonly used words and phrases, and you can even increase the font size so it's easier to read. Even though the ads are unobtrusive, I paid the $1.99 to remove them. This app is worth a lot more than that, but they're giving it away! Highly recommended, worth your time.

Great app (when it works).

Once again, the issues listed below occur. They have been occurring for a week or two in late April of 2021. Why don't the developers allocate any resources for testing to see the app is actually reliable? Are they afraid their managers will reprimand them for doing so?From time to time, when launched on an iPad Pro (at least under iPadOS 12.x), a blank screen comes up with 3 unresponsive controls on top: 'Text', a star, and beads on bars. Restarting the app any number of times doesn't fix the problem. Then, some days later, the app works again. It should work ALL the time! The newest version has annoying ads, so I paid $4.99 to get rid of them. The developers should use the revenue from ads and users who purchase 'ad-free' to fix this BUG!

Lifesaver

This app was a lifesaver! I had a major jaw surgery and couldn’t talk for 3 weeks. I downloaded this app the second day in the hospital and it made things so much easier than texting and writing notes, especially when it was hard to get my family’s attention without talking or when they couldn’t read a note because they were driving or something. I didn’t really experiment with the different voices, but I loved that I could favorite phrases that I needed to use frequently.Now that I can talk again, I don’t really need to do any text to speech stuff, but this app and protein drinks got me through surgery recovery. I would definitely recommend to anyone who can’t talk for any reason.

It’s also a great tool for reading disabilities

I recently asked the author if the program could help with supporting the accessibility features of iOS and he came thru with the last release. Now users with low vision are able to see and read Apple News and website content quite easily. I really don’t know if iOS supports it but the only thing else I know of that might help those with reading disabilities is a better control over reading speed. Is it possible to get something like a percentage scale to control reading speeds? Something like 0.75, 0.66, or 0.5? I also think it would be a good tool to use to help with learning to read English.

Good app, but could use some fixes.

I have been searching for an app to use for when I go nonverbal, and this one can be pretty useful. It has quite a few voices to choose from and I like that it isn’t limited with what you can say. I have been having an issue though with my saved/favorited phrases.When I search for a phrase, I’m not able to select and play it after searching. I can only play the phrases I have saved if I scroll to find them from the entire list. This kind of defeats the purpose of being able to search for phrases. I’m unsure if this is a glitch or a design flaw.It would also be really helpful to be able to create categories for saved phrases. I know this is not necessarily intended to be an AAC app, but it would be a perfect free alternative for people like me if those features were added.

This app is great BUT

Still a MAJOR bug

I have been waiting about three(?) months for this app to be fixed, but it still freezes, crashes, and then stops working after about a minute or less of using the app since the new iPhone 15.4.1 update. This app was always absolutely incredible. The voice is quite realistic in my opinion and I love how it can read thousands upon thousands of words in just one paste! But again, I unfortunately have yet to be able to use it due to this issue… I’m really hoping that they’ll eventually make this app compatible with the new update… till then, I can’t really give it more stars (if it worked like how it used to, it would be five stars!).
