Ratings and reviews

Absolutely perfect! It's FREE, DOES WHAT IT SAYS, no muss no fuss, quickly, and without making you jump through hoops! And it's less than 10 megabytes! AND it presents its results in a simple text box that can easily be edited, cut and pasted into anything you want! No bloat, no unnecessary and unneeded "features"! Just a simple but excellent app! Just like the good old-fashioned shareware model! How did Google let this on its web store? Must be some kind of mistake! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I took a screen shot of a long post, pulled it into Text Fairy, isolated the text I wanted, pushed "ok." It turned that part of the image to text. I then pressed the speaker icon and Text Fairy read it aloud for me. It was very easy and intuitive, and... AND I didn't have to create an account. It was refreshing. Lovely experience thus far.

It's a great idea, and a nice start, but it's clearly lacking features (how do I name/rename a page, change page order, etc?) and the functionality needs fine tuning and polishing. That said, it looks promising, I'll be looking forward to the final product when (or if) the developers get around to completing it.
