There’s absolutely no way to try it before you pay for a subscription. Lots of flashy advertising for this app online, but I can’t verify if it actually does a good job until I fork over some money. They should allow you to read like 5 papers to test it before you commit. I’m guessing the product isn’t very good if they don’t let you test it first. Also there’s no indication that you need to pay until you enter your email. This app is probably a data farm. Deleted immediately and don’t recommend.

As a grad student I was so excited to find this app. Unfortunately, the PDF loaded into the app with no spaces between the words so the automated voice just jumbled all the words together and it didn’t work out. I’d be very interested in this app if it worked properly. I was using the app on my iPhone. While this may not do this on the desktop, that option wouldn’t be worth a subscription to me as I wanted a way to listen to my papers without being tied to my desk. Great idea, just needs a little work.

This app doesn’t read PDFs properly. I’ve tried to read multiple documents with this service. Every document I read with this app has the first or last sentence of a page cut off on just about every page. On multiple occasions I’ve had paragraphs get rearranged. The most recent document I’ve tried to read the reader skipped a large amount of pages, making a big chunk of the text just disappear and not be read. On another pdf, halfway through the document the reader decided to put the last page in the middle for no rhyme or reason. If this is meant to help students read and learn, these glitches are not conducive to this mission statement. I don’t even really understand how you can make a computer/AI that can’t read things in the right order. That should be your first priority when you make something like this. Do NOT spend your money on a service that only half works. I feel like my time and money is wasted every time I try to use this. They need to do a massive improvements before they can expect people to pay them. Starting with delivering what they claim.
