I’m really picky about AI voices, but this one was amazing! Even at 1.5x speed, it was engaging to listen to. It’s a game changer to be able to listen while walking!

This app is a MUST for anyone in academics. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks and I’m already sold. I’m in grad school at the moment and almost all of our reading are academic articles. It takes me ages to get through them every week and by the end it feels like my eyes are going to fall out of my head.

Love using it to read papers and journal articles. The text is often too dense for me and my eyes skip words, making it difficult to understand what I just read. With the app, I can slow down the speed of speech and listen while my visual brain generates images (much easier for me to do than with reading). I would suggest perhaps removing the reference numbers, it is distracting while listening. Otherwise, I like where this is going! Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant, haven't been able to find an app that can say scientific words properly until now. Very easy to use
