User Reviews

Users praise the app for its simple, lightweight design and good TTS voices, making it useful for proofing and listening to on-screen text. However, recurring issues include missing PDF support, data persistence problems (text deletion on load), a strict text-length limit, lack of note management, and no easy audio export. When it runs smoothly it’s solid, but these reliability and feature gaps hinder consistent use.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use interface
Lightweight and fast
High-quality TTS voices
Helpful for proofreading and reading on screen / accessibility
Solid and well-functioning when it works

Cons

PDF files are not supported / cannot be read aloud
Data loss / text gets deleted or not persisted when loading or refreshing
Character length limit (~100k chars per item) causing crashes or requiring splitting
No option to delete notes / app can feel abandoned and cluttered
Cannot export audio (no MP3/WAV download) / limited audio export capabilities

Good simple reader, used it a lot for proof reading text, solid.

Review edit, from four stars to three. Keeps regularly removing/deleting my preferred voice package, and forcing me to reinstall. This is really annoying. A solid, well-functioning little program, that does exactly what it says. Light-weight and easy to use, but could be improved by and option to turn off its actually saying 'asterix' or 'greater than' whenever it hits * or > or other symbols. Either way, I love it.
