- Resume where you left off - the app remembers your place.

Ratings and reviews

This app is exactly what it needs to be. It's simple, but does the job right. You can paste in at least 11k words of text at a time (probably more!) and have it read it back to you, download the audio file, and even change the speed that the text is read aloud. Ads are minimal, the app is free and works without wifi, and doesn't seem to rely on Artifical Intelligence to do a half-assed job. Highly recommend!

I'm a writer. So when I need to read over my work I use this app so I can listen to it and make my changes when need be, if need be. It saves me a bunch of wasted time reading which gives me more time to write. And that's great when I have certain deadlines that I need to make. It's free and really cool. You can customize the pitch of the voice to higher pitch, regular pitch and lower pitch as well as customize the speed at which the text is read back to you. All in all a 5 out 5 stars from me!

It had generally been doing wonderfully. However, lately, it has started skipping while reading. a bit like the sound is flickering in and out on the reading voice. It will suddenly fall silent for a bit and then suddenly pick up reading again lines later where it probably would have been if it hadn't gone silent. I'm not sure why this is happening. It also occasionally keeps reading even when I select pause. only fix is to fully stop the app, clear data, and start over.
