poor quality, a lot of the buttons don't actually do anything and they reader is quite slow without a function button to speed it up. There are better screen readers that will be better with less hassle. | |

It accomplishes what you need it to. However, there's several issue. My biggest one was the fact that if you copy and paste a PDF article, which is split into two columns, it'll read that split as a space - So, the reader will pause after that break - even though it maybe halfway through the sentence. Wish this could have been worked into the code so this doesn't happen. So, it makes reading Medical Journals and Articles pretty much unbearable. Also, the voices are not that well a.i. optimized. It'll still sound like a robot, regardless of how much you change the pitch and speed, and voice. Overall, it's ok because it actually does what it claims. HOW WELL it does it is why I took off the 2 stars. | |
