Excellent

This was thé app i was looking for , when you are walking, visiting à site or driving you cannot Read Wikipédia or ôther sites , With this app thé information is delivered orrally to you

Good but can be better

Good like their other apps but need control on the offline voice to fast forward or go back few lines like the online voice or like the other text speech app.

Weak browser

I have an iphone 3g and the browser shifts the whole screen to the left on me so it only views half of the page which is soooo frustrating , converts text to voice is good but since navigation is so hard and frustrating i wish i had picked another app instead of this one. If they fix the browser shifting the page off the screen without the ability to bring it back then it would be a good app.

Excellent

Excellent TTS app in all regards. Great voices, voice controls, and GUI. Permits saving pages and audio off-line. Only problems: App opens in upside-down orientation and then flips to proper orientation which is a small annoyance. Also, the app features images representing selected voices that are a bit not business appropriate looking and are not necessary.

Great

The only problem is that we need a new update for the iPod touch and iPhone 5...

Voices very choppy had to understand

とても便利です

とても便利です。メールで送られてくる英文のニュースを読むのに使っています。自動的にスクロールされる、読んでいる部分がハイライトされる、広告など余計な部分を飛ばすなど、人手を介さなくてもスイスイと読めます。もう一日中ニュースを聴読しています。 This is an extremely good and convenient application. I can read English news without human intervention.

Cool

Helpful for those who try to learn English.

Good app with improvement

Really good app. Nice voices. Im waiting a traslate mode in different languages, sentence by sentences for perfection. Tks

Does not work!

First of all, apart from the page advertising their other products, everything is in German. Even if you read German, the app goes nuts ( flashing then crashing) when you enter an address in the browser. Thanks Apple for looking out for your customers. Super Job!!

I love this app!

It’s one that I cannot do without on my iPhone. For me its such a big help and I like especially the clean text mode. A usefull app not only for travelers or language freaks. To developers: please add AUTOFILL for forms – thank you!

Good idea but...

Good start! What is very good; compared to many other text to speech apps linguatec voices are very good i use mostly kate. The option to see only text on a page being read is a very good feature! What needs to improve; From using apps such as webReader and seeing how it is possible to have text read immediatly as the browser presents a page i am somewhat dissapointed at the approach voiceReaderWeb has taken of first identifying a article then turning it into a audio file then having it read out-loud.... I am not sure this is more convenient than copy-paste a article in your own voice reader or ispeak etc... I was hoping for an app that is simpler to use and more capable, webReader, for example allows the tapping on a paragraph of a larger text and have it read out without waiting for the text to convert to a audio file first...from what i have seen of your voice reader web so far it is not possible to start reading from a particular line in a text,,,ALSO, it would be useful to have a way to highlight the current line of text being read..... ,that being said webreader is also not excellent yet their synthetic voice is not as good as yours. I am not a programer but it would seem to me that you aproach of converting each web page individual files is flawed. It should be more simple such as simply tapping anywhere in a text and have a very small menu pop up that offers the option read from here and that too without having to wait for conversion of the text.the idea i creating a browswer with text to speech is excellent! But as is this one needs a lot of re-considering and re-programing imho.i purchased this app on the strength of your voice reader which still has a few annoying bugs but is quite useful as is. Best of luck and if you can make this app what it should be i will gladly give you 5stars and get all my friends to buy it.

more such apps

very good and useful app. I agree with some bugs at the beginning, but now it just great! works fine. amazing good voice quality. very fast loading of the web sites in text view... it is the exemplary application!

So-so

Too many accent mistakes in Russian. Boris voice is generally doing better then Olga. Sometimes reads last word of a long sentence twice. Sometimes skips text to the end of paragraph. The more you use it the more flaws youll find.

Works pretty well...

I bought this app as I have a competitors Web Reader, but found it to have become unreliable, exhibiting quirkiness (eg skipping first sentences of all paragraphs! It clearly is in need of updates, as it didnt do that a year ago....). I already have Linguatecs Voice Reader (and bought an off-line voice: thats VERY important, as both apps work better if you do). So I figured since I already had a voice (Kate, the Brit female), I thought Id give their Web reader a spin. Im glad I did, as it works really well, much better than Voice Reader (PDF reader: perhaps the larger size of many PDFs accounts for its boggy response). Like someone else mentioned above, the voice quality of Linguatec beats the competition (and even Apples voice thats built-in to Safari with iOS 5 sounds robotish in comparison). This app is not perfect, mind you, but it works the best of any apps in the text-to-voice category Ive tried, offering great value (eg theres a $10 app, but Im not spending that kind of money just to find out if theyre better!) Things Id like to see added? • it would be nice if the browser would respond to tapping of the upper menu bar like Safari, jumping to the top of the page. That would save a TON of scrolling! • multi-tab browsing (important, if this is to be used as a replacement for Safari; it should offer at least the functionality of the native browser), • option for auto-play after the page loads, • As mentioned above, the ability to select where reading commences (or remember where reading left off. I know, these are not big concerns for web pages (which are smaller than 400 pg PDF files), as the app is responsive enough to tab to locate the paragraph you want, but it still would be nice...). •PDF support (or make Voice Reader more responsive/snappier, like Voice Reader Web...) • seems a bit of a waste of bandwidth and time for users to download 110MB of off-line voice data again (if you already bought a voice), if it already exists somewhere in the iPhone RAM?

Doesnt read long pages

The text to speech of this app is excellent, and it keeps speaking after you close the phone. However it only speaks a short amount of text without you doing an in-app purchase of an "offline voice". And even when you buy an "offline voice", it still will not speak the full amount of a long web page (such as an Internet RFC).

Half of what I want

It works, but because it has its own browser, guess what? Yep, you guesses it, their browser doesnt reflect the same stories as the original site. They have some of them but they are either censoring what you can see or the stories presented on your favorite sites for some reason arent always reflected in this "browser". So, I want to hear a storuly while Im driving? Well it may not show up in hi This browser. Further, it only lists hyperlinks from your favorite sites, not the actual site.

Aok

Very nice price - $1.99 plus .99 for an excellent offline female voice. She is completely understandable and quite easy on the ears. I search for "late night comics" and she reads me all the comedy bits. Siri wont do it so Im thrilled that this app does my bidding. A+ in my book.

NO STAR!!!!!!!!!!

If I could rate no star I would. This App does not do what it says it will. Just wanted it to read emails without copying and pasting them payed two dollars and the app would not work at all just kept freezing. The free version is better. I want a refund!

Off line web reader
