Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader

Im very disappointed with this app. I tried several that had the same pdf upload and read out function and this one was by far the best (at the time) this was November of 2025. I used the app through January without issue. I hadnt used it in some time and when i went back and uploaded a PDF for some reason In June of 2026 the app reads out and highlights two different parts of the text. Its unusable. I reached out to support, they gave me the advice to update the app. I did and the problem continued, i reached back out to support and was met with silence. I payed $40 for a year of use on this app and now it doesn’t work. Also since the purchase was so long ago i cant dispute it with apple. I would not recommend using this app. And i also feel like my money was stolen and i am due a refund for purchasing a service that doesn’t actually work. Very very disappointing

I am using this app for reading textbooks to me. I like it a lot, the cheaper tier works just fine for me. The voice is obviously synthetic, but listenable. Right now I’m having real issues with the fact that the app can’t read apostrophes correctly. It’s distracting to hear about “Occam ess razor” instead of Occam’s razor. I hope that’s something they can patch because otherwise I think it’s one of the best values in PDF readers. Especially helpful is being able to import from OneDrive.

App does what it needs to do, but for the price It did not perform to the standard I had hoped. App would continuously crash while I was using it and it struggled greatly to read certain words and numbers.
