User Reviews

Reviews repeatedly praise the app for accessibility and the ability to export audio, plus a broad range of voices and a simple UI. However, multiple reviews report instability—frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches—and concerns about voice availability after updates. Overall, it’s a valuable tool when it runs smoothly, but reliability and consistent voice options are the main drawbacks.
Pros
  • Accessibility: helps people with speech impairments communicate more easily.
  • Export text to audio files for use in skits or prompts.
  • Wide variety of voices and options for personalization.
  • Simple UI that’s easy to use.
Cons
  • Frequent freezes and unresponsiveness, making the app hard to use.
  • Persistent bugs and glitches across features (paste, typing, favorites) that disrupt performance.
  • Voice availability and quality changes after updates (some voices removed or unavailable).

Since I don’t have my tonsils removed, I ALWAYS get strep. And when I have strep it’s hard for me to speak 🗣️. So when I use this app it’s SO much EASIER to communicate! 😁.
