Speechify – Text to Speech PDF

This app gradually becomes strategically incapable of pronouncing words properly or understanding how to interpret basic contextual information, often abandoning the clear intent of common words to read them as randomly occurring alternate languages. For example, any sentence with the word “I” in it is most often going to be spoken as if it were “The 1st” from an ordinal list or “I” as if it were a Roman numeral. This has gotten progressively worse and it doesn’t’t honor manual pronunciation corrections saved in the iPhone keyboard settings, nor does it have a simple way to correct those errors in the app itself. Also, the offline voices are restricted to a tiny set of really irritating obnoxious ones instead of all the built-in iOS options. This is a garbage cash-grab app that I will happily cooperate with any AG office investigations related to targeted product feature degradation intended to create user frustration or false advertising violations. The app would be great except for the developer’s intentionally abusive feature handicapping. And the price is astronomical… they should be ashamed of exploiting the market this way.

the audio cuts out after a minute of reading

Seems great until they end the introduction because then you can only have robotic voices read to you unless you get the stupid premium costs like 20 bucks a month or something do not recommend also have to pay to read the entire book do not get this app unless willing to pay!!!
