A useful, flexible and well maintained app

2019 Nov 28 update: There were three updates in the last two weeks, the app no longer crashes in my use case scenario and devs even rewrote the settings screen to become part of the app instead of having it in iOS settings to apparently overcome an iOS limitation, and it no longer crashes either. Well done. Thank you. Newcomers - take a look at the settings screen there are a lot of tweaks you will find useful. 2019 Nov 13 original review: Really great and useful when works, but crashes every few minutes. The application simply closes, sometimes sound disappears few second prior to that. What is good though - it remembers the last paragraph and its a matter of two taps to get it reading again - tap the app icon and tap the book (improvement suggestion - make it one tap - resume the last book when the app opens). I use it on CarPlay with Waze running on the car screen and the app running on the phone screen, maybe it will help you debug. Please fix it so that I could justify buying Pro. One more observation - when I tap settings of Button Functions, tap on one of the buttons to see the list of options and then tap Back - I’m thrown out of the settings. The settings crash out. When I open the settings again - the changes made to settings seem to have been saved.

I love this

I struggle with reading because of adhd and possible dyslexia. school is difficult because I have to re-read a page at least 5 times before I understand it. I was doing a review over an article in forensic science and could not read the article for the life of me. I was getting frustrated and thought “I wish there was an app that would read it out loud to me” sure enough I went to the App Store, typed in ‘speech reader’ and found this. I immediately downloaded it and used it for the article I was trying to read. It read to me and a huge wave of relief came over me I wanted to cry. Reading is so hard for me and this app just basically saved my life for college lol. Thank you for creating this app, I appreciate it. The only down side is that I wish there were more voice options because the robotic voice gets a little annoying but I’ll take it!

I cannot believe it.

This must be the best, free text-to-speech app. I’ve used free version of Speechify for months and don’t want to pay a subscription. Because of the additional voices in the iOS, I am now able to listen to hundreds of my books with ease. I will be able to listen on scientific articles, news, ebooks and so much more. Goodbye speechify and audible. Kudos to the developer as well for making it free. The developer is also very responsive to the comments and reviews. This is so revolutionary! Thank you for making it free. Will check on it more if I want/need the pro version. I just don’t know all features are included in the pro version.
