Can’t export audio file. Went for pro thinking pro would be able to export files as free did not work. Like free, pro never completes generating audio file when pressing share. Simple to use, but doesn’t do what I need it to do or what it is supposed to do. Waste of time and money.

Good app when it works!. Doesn’t work properly half the time which is so frustrating!

Doesn’t let you export anything over 5000 characters. I paste the text I need spoken in app, tells me to pay for pro version to export text over 2000 characters. Reluctantly I pay the five dollars to do so. I paste the same text in the pro version and go to export, it says “cannot export over 5000 characters. So I just threw away five dollars. Why did it let me paste the text in the box if it wasn’t gonna let me export something that long? Why did it tell me to pay for the pro version to export if even the pro version wouldn’t let me export? It tricked me into thinking I could do something that it was never gonna let me do. And they got my money. Im no closer to accomplishing what I needed to do, and I already lost five dollars to the cause. Thanks for nothing.

Great tool. Has throat surgery and can’t talk for a a few weeks. App makes so easy to communicate

Slow and Buggy. I originally posted that this app doesn’t work, but I’m changing this because it finally did manage to process the text I pasted in. But I keep experiencing a lot of bugs. Like if I switch voices once I’ve started playing the text, it stays on the original voice unless I shut the whole app down, open it back up, paste the text, choose the new voice, and THEN press play to hear it. This makes it difficult to choose a voice, because I have to keep doing the whole process over again every time I want to hear what a different voice sounds like. For the price, I’d say it’s worth it when it works. If it were any higher I would probably ask for a refund.

Amazing App!. This is an Amazing App and So Helpful to me for so many different uses! Very useful and a go to from now on my phone

Review. Voices high pitched and you can’t delete or hold a conversation. Speak it was a much better app, but not updated for IOS works well on iPad, but not on iPhone

Horrible App! Don’t waste your money.. This app is absolutely horrible, buggy, slow, and crashes frequently. I have about four minutes worth of text that I am trying to convert to a computer voice. When I type the text into the box, it allows me to listen to it in its entirety, but when I go to save it, it only saves twenty seconds of it. I had the free version, which was just as bad. When I tried to save the same text on the free version, a box popped up saying that I had to upgrade if I wanted to save more than a certain amount of characters. So that’s what I did, but it will only let me save twenty seconds. I feel like this is deceptive, misleading, and a total fraud. False advertising! Apple should do something about this. I’m mad that I even have to give them a one star rating just to be able to leave a comment. If you are reading this and thinking about getting this app, don’t do it. Total waste of time and money. If you are reading this and you are one of the developers of this garbage, give me my money back or I’m taking you to court!

Improve Abbreviationsqo. Not bad but would help if the speaker knew abbreviations instead of having to spell everything out. Trying to keep up with normal conversations and that just takes more time!

Was working fine…. It has been over a month since I notified the dev. They updated the free app but not the one I paid for. Now it does not export audio like it used to. Needs a fix. The non-Pro version exports as expected but it’s got ads. Also, I paid for the pro version to get rid of ads. I’m afraid dev has stopped supporting this app. Too bad because it’s well done.

Speak a little disappointed. I have the pro version Speak4Me. You allow us to use voices Nicky, Nicky [Enhanced] while editing and playback, but not in export. I bought this app to get rid of the ads, support developers and thinking, “Because we had the teaser of these voices in the unpaid version, we will certainly get them in the paid version.” WRONG! I am terribly disappointed. While your app is good, it's not great because of this letdown. Two stars to get your attention and three stars for the disappointment in the app.

Really good. This text to audio speech has been very useful. Copy and paste a chapter of a book and you can listen and read or take a walk and listen. The voices are fairly natural and understandable. Helps improve my school study and concentration. Some quirks: it does not pause. Audio starts from the beginning always. Phone calls interrupt the audio and the app jams, requiring a phone reset. Does not hold 20+ audio files. Positives are more than negatives though.

awesome app ever. It's worth the money! I can prank people with it and I can finally play around with this app! So best app ever!

Amazing!. Exactly what I was looking for in a pinch when I needed a voice presentation and raspbian was being a pain and apparently my Mac office suite says it can’t use text to speech... weird. Anyway this app has a really cool ability to quickly and easily create audio with very customizable voices that sound great! Better than the office suite voices anyway. Fantastic app.

helped before & after my surgery. Had vocal chord problem & lost most of my voice Slill on voice rest, but this is a life saver in the meantime!!

Appreciate it. Thank you for the app. I use for long texts and it has to start from the beginning every time if I have to stop, is it possible to make a pause button? Also trying to turn the slowest setting and it’s still kind of fast. Anyways, I appreciate it !

Angonizer. Please leave me alone.i don’t want to write a review I’m in a meeting and now I can’t communicate. I paid for the right to use it and now I’m held hostage until you get me to say what you want. I will look for another site..

Has good basics Great price but.... Doesn’t stop and start with headset. Only takes 5,000 characters, can only edit my writing by listening to it back, other don’t catch major theme flow problems. Would like to record my very long stuff as well using electronic voices. Maybe a more expensive version, may have missed it. Found some that were tons per month.

A most useful tool.. The diction used in this application is almost flawless; of course I’m talking about the free and upgraded application. The free application allowed commercials but even with commercials the application was again I say; “almost flawless, Thank you: Mr and Mrs application maker. Good job!!!!!!!

love it. such a great product and favorite of all the apps to use. I mean if you wanted to go above and beyond, you could add voices like (Morgan Freeman 👀) or have more variety. Maybe also a pause function that doesn't restart it to the beginning. But other than that, highly recommend this easy to use tool

App want to play, no sound. At first I thought there was something wrong with my phone, but every other app works just fine. No audio will play making the app useless. When I click on the link for app support it takes me to “page not found “.

Good app. I am reviewing from vocal cord surgery and this app has been helpful. I got the pro hoping for less robotic voice but no luck despite different accents.

Just ok. Most of the voices are hard to understand and the “close” button to wipe a line of text is At the edge of the screen, small and difficult to get to work.

Nice app but found bugs.. I cannot save my file and share via email if I have any question marks as it will stop the recording right after the ?? Other then that it’s a nice app with good quality of speech.

Decent. Overall very useful. I would like the ability to clear the text after tapping Listen. Also some more enhanced voices. For the price, though, it can’t be beaten.

Great for if I go non-verbal. With my autism, this will be great to have if I go non-verbal while in a public setting.

Good. Very useful if you bought the pro.

So happy. I was upset when the old app automatically switched over to the “enhanced” version. I’ve been using the updated app ever since. It lacks a lot of features, and although it appears more polished, it doesn’t function as smoothly. I’m so excited to see that this version is still available! I missed being able to tweak the pitch and the wide catalog of voices. 5/5!

Speak4Me Pro. I have the Speak4Me Pro version i. Which you pay to have. I was disappointed to find out that paying for the app you lose the different voices. I tried to contact them through the app and got zero response. Fix this problem and I will upgrade the review.

Pointless. Unless you want to write or grab short text to be read back to you, this is a pointless app. I wanted an app that would read a kindle book while I walk. I trusted the fake reviews. iOS used to have that ability but Siri came along, and that is one of the most annoying features of iOS. Do yourselves a favor and save .99.

Difficult to clear. It is difficult to clear.

Comes up short. No multitask, narrative stops the second you move to anything, browser, email..... Purchased then found a 5000 character limit conversion to audio file. Tipping point for my needs. I can chew up 5000 easy.

Voices sound automated. I would have liked this because I JUST need it to text and then speak the text. I have a temporary vocal cord condition and can’t speak. The voices however sound automated or like there singing? I tried everything to try to correct it?

Good, but.... ... it’s a little buggy. I purchased the pro version, but “Sharing” does not work—it takes you to the “Voices” screen.

Fix, this, bug!!!. I have been using this app for a long time now, it was pretty helpful to make stories, however when I press share and select one of the voices, the screen just stays on generating audio. I would of gave this five stars but this has been happening for a long time now. If you fix this bug I'll give the app five stars.

I can’t share anymore. This app worked supper well for a while but now it won’t let me share the audio files. In fact, it won’t even prepare the audio files so I can’t transfer or put the additional voice filters on.

Great until stopped working. It was a great app until it stopped being able to share the recordings. That’s what I mainly used it for.

Excellent. I don't usually write reviews but I made an exception regarding using this App... This is a great app if you just need a basic no frills text to speech app. Thumps up!!!

Can’t share or download lines.. What’s the point of using this app if I can’t even share the lines I’ve written with people, or download them to Dropbox or anything?

Life saver. Last March I suffocated to death and woke in the icu with a tracheostomy blocking my throat. I was told I would be able to speak for months. This app gave me a lifeline. I used it to speak to doctors, nurses and family. I was trapped in my body and had no other way to communicate. I still suffer from aphasia at times wich makes me unable to talk. This app one again lets me keep communicating. It’s such a blessing!!! The only thing I wish was that it had a clear button so I don’t have to wait for the back space command to erase the last sentence.

Worked fine for a bit. Worked fine for all of about 2 days now it won’t even share audio. Also it looks like no one has worked on this app in over a year when improvements are clearly needed.

Love it, use it daily. I’m dyslexic and use it not only to listen to text, but to check my writing for autocorrect errors.

Awesome for studying GRE vocab!. I only use this to listen to the vocab words and definitions when I'm walking my dog. I write flash cards in study blue and copy paste the review sheet into Speak4me. I can also save these files to listen to whenever i want. The pro allows u to save lots of files. This has been an awesome app, thank you! One note: wish it kept playing like itunes music does when using other apps or your phone goes to sleep. I have to change the display to never sleep which is a hassle to turn on and off every time I want to use speak4me.

Very useful for accessibility. I’m very ill at the moment and lost my voice completely so having this gave me my voice back at a low cost. Helps me communicate my needs and thoughts with family and loved ones. Thank you!

Very convenient. Had surgery and it was very hard to talk. This made life easy!!! Thank you so very much!

Issue with Generating speech.. When I attempt to generate a speech, it’s stuck on “Generating Audio File.” I’ve learned to be patient, and set my phone down while taking a 15 minute break while waiting on it. I come back, however, to my surprise, it’s still stuck on “Generating Audio File.” It’s of my highest hopes and interest that this bug gets fixed. Until then, this review will remain at 1 star.

Pointless. It was amazing until it became pointless because I can’t share the audio. The cheaper version seems to work, but you can’t have more than 2000 characters on that one. Fix the issue and it would be a 5.

Speak for me!. In 2018, I had a layngectomy (vocal cords completely removed). This app has helped tremendously for the past year. I have saved phrases in “favorites” and have used them often. I even use it with Alexa! Fortunately, I recently had a prosthesis placed, and now am learning to speak with it. But this app has eased a lot of frustration over the last 15. months.

No male voice? Only female?. Don't waste your money! There's only one voice and it's female. No male voice. Plus, it's super buggy!!! Free version has ads every 3 seconds, which pop up in the middle of speaking!!! Makes app useless. My friend lost his voice and got this app. The ads kept popping up that he could barely get a single sentence out! The ad would pop up after a couple words, so it was completely unusable in a real life situation. He also noticed he couldn't change the voice. It was just a female's voice, the farthest thing from his own voice. Then he found the option to rid ads and limitations if you pay. So he did and was able to finally get out a sentence. Unfortunately, he STILL couldn't change the voice to male. It said remove "limitations", so we both assumed that would be an option available after he paid. Nope. You don't get a choice at all. You can change speed and pitch. That's it. It would have been nice to know this in the description. He tried to use it since he paid for it, but the app is so buggy and has glitched out during the worst times. After a few days he gave up.

Love it till i got a iphone 11. All the enhanced voices were gone and most of the voices are no longer there once i got my new iphone. Fix it!!!!!!!!!!! Lost so many of the voices!!!!!!!

Effecient and Clean app. Thank you Luiggi. Hi Luiggi, please remove the limitation of 5000 characters for audio creation. Unfortunately Your fine app, the PRO version efficient and clean, is useless while you have this limitation. Cheers from Marion

Won’t generate Audio File.. App won’t generate audio file. Have tried on multiple devices, even paid for the pro version. Still won’t work.

Works well. Best of the lot so far.. This app works well and you can save commonly said phrases in a favourites folder to use anytime. I’ve tried a lot of these apps and this one works the best. I upgraded to the pro version as it was cheap and I really hate adware. This could be improved by changing the settings a bit to be able to slow down the voice further and adding controls for treble and bass.

Does not work for me. It won't let me on it

A good app, I recommend it.. I’ve been using this app for a few years now and it works pretty good in converting text to speech. Find an article or some written text. Then your phone will read out the text to you. The accent and pronunciation are pretty good. There’s a lot of bad ones out there, but this app is worth using and paying for the pro version.

Works well.. Thanks! I really like that I can hear the Spanish with a Mexican accent. Well done.

Good but need some features. Good but need some features

Laurie Hill. It’s awesome

This is the best aap among same category.. As mentioned this app perfectly converts the text to voice.However no option to save the audio file and no option to repeat the sound track. It would be great if you add those options. Developer doesn’t reply despite of several note no response from them.

Not Bad Text-to-Speech App. Not able to contact the developer directly to ask why there is a 5000 word limit on preparing audio files. Will read a larger file, but not save as an audio file. Why is there no link to the developer? Several excellent voices to choose from—impressive.

My review. Needs a stop button. When you paste a large paragraph in it there is no way to stop it unless it finishes all of it.

Game. I just found out that I have to pay 11 $ a month how do u unsubscribe

Issues with the app. I purchased this app, there’s an issue with it it doesn’t generate the voice file it keep loading forever. Is there an update ?

👌👍👍👍. Love this app

This app is the best i love it. It i can suggest that you make more funny voices for it to

it keeps crashing. i paid for this app and it doesn’t even work anymore

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Lack of Transparency / 5,000 Character Limit after Purchase. I just paid $0.99 to unlock the full feature of this app only to find out there’s a 5,000 character hard cap limit after purchase. Totally unethical. I have over 15 mins of goals and affirmations and the developer of this app pulls a stunt like this? I am very disappointed in this app. The hard cap should at least be set to 50,000-100,000. And at the very least, NOTIFY consumers before purchasing that this app has a 5,000 character limit. Until this is corrected, I highly recommend you avoid this app. Lack of transparency gives indie developers a bad rep.

Add more voices please. This app is awesome and I use it for my YouTube videos but could you add the option to generate an audio file without Internet connection and could you add more voices such as pipe organ and other novelty voices from Mac OS X Because sometimes I like to spice up my YouTube videos if you know what I’m saying

Crashes!. It may have only cost a dollar, so I probably shouldn’t complain. But this app is useless. It crashes EVERY time I try to use it. Worthless!

Cannot send to email,text,nada. Do not buy!. No way to send. It will speak what you type in, you can add to favorites, but there is no way to send or share what you type in.

I'm having problems. Well I downloaded the free app first but doesn't open, so then I was thinking who about the pro one so I bought it and does the same doesn't open....! I have IOS that requires the app

Terrible app 👎👎. Don’t waste your money. This app is useless.

Was good. Was good now app closes as soon as you tap on

WOW great app. I was very pleasantly surprise how well this .99 app worked. It’s amazing. It will be awesome for memorizing scripture and studying.

A great app. This app offers a great selection of languages, a variety of voices, and is very user friendly. Great app!

Waste of my money. It worked for like 2 days and then it just like muted itself, I tried to restart it to see if it would help but it didn't do anything.

Daniel UK voice. I was looking for the club penguin voice called Daniel U.K. English and I found it (get this app it has it) thanks

Decepcionado. Pensé que iba a dejar de tener los problemas que tuve con la versión gratuita, pero es absolutamente lo mismo, no me deja editar bien el texto, no puedo pausar o parar la reproducción. Un dólar mal gastado. Aunque me parece que es una aplicación que podría tener un gran potencial. Arreglen eso por favor.

Additional voices needed.. Would like an African American voice for more inclusiveness and diversity.

Not Good. Even the PRO version comes with limitations. You can’t pause and continue, it goes back to the beginning. You can not multitask. The moment you leave the app to go to another one it stops playing the audio. NOT A GOOD APP

Great app but one thing. This app works perfectly with no adds, accents, and more. However, one feature I would love to be added is if you could put the audio files into iMovie so then I can use this to enhance my video editing skills.

It was very badThe app. The app is not good when I try to share the text converted to audio the app suddenly comes out and does not convert large texts

Speak4me pro. This is really awesome!

I'm liking this app a lot!. I was looking for a good narrative voice to read out my writings for projects. This one allows me to send the messages to where I need to complete them. Voices aren't bad. Some sound more natural than others. But the robotic ones can be funny if someone wanted to send someone a good laugh. I recommend this app for anyone who would be looking for a narrator and you can work with this app through other programs to sound professional if need be. Great for story writing!

Garbage. Garbage. No flexibility. Limitations. Cannot pause, fast forward or rewind. Garbage. Pro has no difference than free. Garbage

Paid for Pro, literally does not work.. Enter text, processes on and on but never creates an mp3. Pathetic excuse for an app.

Just what I needed!!. Looking for an app to allow me to speak from text for an upcoming procedure, I was thrilled to find Speak4MePro!! Working great so far - thanks so much to the developers!! M.D.

Super. Les aseguro, que esta aplicación les va a fascinar. No lo dudes obtenerla ya.

Respond. I have tried to ask them things and they don’t respond. ;-;

Bulbar Palsy. I have Bulbar Palsy and am losing my speech. This is a great app.

I can’t live without it.. Great 😎😘🤗

Great app!. Really worthwhile, this parkys go-to txt-to -speech app

Works for me.. I have simple needs. This app meets them.

Cheater. It was PRO version, but they downgraded you to LITE without notification….

No. I can't understand why the app is migrating from pro to lite.

Awesome app. The title of this review is self-explanatory

Audio Files Not Downloading. I've tried multiple times to share audio but it stays in processing mode. Please fix and I will rate 5 stars.

Good app, but. Ok, listen. I use this app for editing every day.It’s a good app, and I love it. Yet, it stopped working for me.The feature that lets you share the audio in any voice won’t load at all. It’s triggered me so much that I had to write this review. So please fix it.

Doesn’t work.. App used to be cool but no longer works. I tried reporting the problem but can’t reach them.

Great and useful. This may seem like a waste of money, but boy is it useful. I have some summer reading to do and with this app I just get the chapter summaries and the app reads to me! Perfect, five stars!

Never successfully exported a single file.. I’ve never been able to get past the “Generating audio file” stage, and I paid for the “pro” version.

SCAM APP. Support page is NON EXISTANT. Will not allow any saving of any projects. Deny charges for this app through our card company its a scam

Crash. Waste of money!!!! Everytime i try and use it, it crashes.

Nice app. $0.99 USD really nice app at good price everything was OK with my iPhone 11 pro Cheers!

It doesn’t work paid $4.99. When trying to share it just says loading and it doesn’t do anything Don’t waist your $

Blah. This program won’t save an audio file, even though it’s supposed to. Also it doesn’t have both male and female voices for major languages.

Very helpful!. As someone who is semi-nonverbal, this is super helpful!

Awesome. I use it all the time

Waste of money!. It doesn't work at all on my iPhone 12

Ok app. Needs to be able to fit screen and not limited to a box
