## Review summary

Summary: Users praise broad language support, follow-along scrolling, and flexible input (PDFs/images/text) with good accessibility. However, billing/cancellation problems, recurring glitches, and voice/speed quality concerns recur across reviews, affecting reliability and experience. Overall, strong core features are valued, but billing integrity, stability, and natural-sounding voices are the main drawbacks.

- Automatic scrolling / follow-along highlighting to read along with the text.
- Flexible input options including PDFs, images, and pasted text (OCR/read-from-photo capabilities).

- Good value for premium (positive note on pricing and premium features).

### Cons

- Frequent glitches and playback instability: pauses, repeats, skips, and occasional restarts during reading.
