Ratings and reviews

Great for what I use it for, which is reading textbooks for school while walking/doing chores. Would be great if there were a way to paginate or sync between this and the actual book for when I have time to read, but it may have that and I'm missing it.

Although I look forward to a more natural reading voice in the future, right now, this is about one of the only ways to get text to speech in most websites that contain text. Also works with a lot of apps. It is "mostly-reliable" and I have to count it as outstanding considering the many complexities involved.

A very helpful app! Being able to listen to articles from the web is SUCH a help! This is one of two apps I use for my grad school readings, and it makes things so much easier! The only drawback is that I cannot rewind/jump back to rehear something I missed: the app seems only to fast forward when I try to jump back. But this app is the easiest for TTS for websites, and I use it often.
