Ratings and Reviews
Super useful for ADHD'ers
I haven't used a text to speech tool before now but it is game changer for me as I have ADHD and a sensory based nervous system. The audio means my brain can naturally stay a lilttle bit more focused than if I was reading. It also allows me to speed up the audio to match my cognitive processing speed at the time, and allows me to multitask and be more productive (I mainly use this for marking univeristy assignments so I can listen, which I write feedback).
Reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that I can never get it to process/use PDF's properly. When I copy and paste the text, it reformats the text and adds in a bunch of spaces, which then make each line be read as a paragraph. Works super well when copying and pasting text from a word document though.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. The app can read PDFs directly with no need to copy/paste. Have you tried that? You may also want to try changing the paragraph delay to zero so there is no delay between paragraphs.
subscription required to remove ads
This app spams you with ads every minute, it’s incredibly annoying and makes the app borderline unusable. Then it has the audacity to ask you If I’d like to spend money on the app and not even own it. What is wrong with people trying to make a quick buck with subscription services? I have used many similar tts apps in the past, this may be the worst one I’ve used so far, Impressive.
