Excellent study tool with great accessibility and natural voices. Finding documents is easy, but adding them is complicated. Document conversion needs to get fixed. I got repeated subheadings and missing chapter segments with different books. Additionally, a Spanish voice support would help significantly. Despite these UI and conversion issues, the app has huge potential and is already very useful.

Thank you for the feedback! I would love to fix the issues we had with your docs. Could you email me about them? My email address is on our homepage. We have beta support for Spanish! If you add a Spanish doc, we'll read it to you. We don't yet support voice selection, and it won't work quite as well as English. Joe, Paper2Audio Founder

Excellent text to speech app. The app gives you 54 hours a week to listen to anything you share with it via news articles, short stories, books etc ad free. They have a paid plan as well for more hours. It does more than just text to speech it is smart to remove advertisements and even give you quick summaries of any images that were in the text in a different voice. It'll also give you options to summarize content or it'll do the full thing. It's one of my go to apps now, highly recommend it.

best TTS app ever. In my opinion! ion, this app is the best. I was involved in the beta phase and when issues arise, I have had almost immediate response from the makers. even with a free account, it blows other app out of the water. I have tried 11reader, natural speech, speechify etc. This has the ability to use AI and answer questions. you can use it for emails, chrome extension or books in multiple formats. For me, I can't stand robotic voices. I feel like I have a person reading to me!
