Press Reviews:
► Hot Mac Apps Even though you get all these options, I was really impressed with the quality of the voices and how understandable they are. They are not harsh and could actually read you a story if you felt like typing that much into the screen. Overall Voice Reader Text to Speech is definitely worth the $1.99, it has to be the best text to speech and also text to speech translator I have seen for a long time.
► apps affair Voice Reader Text To Speech for iOS devices is a new app that reads any text to you in one of 32 voices spanning 21 languages. You can copy and paste text into the app or drag text in using iTunes file sharing feature, then play back or email the resulting audio file. It can also play the audio files in the background while you multi-task.
► The iPhone App Review For the two dollars Voice Reader costs, ($1.99 in the App Store) users can enjoy quality text-to-speech capabilities, a smooth interface, and support for a wealth of different languages. It’s a solid affair, and one that won’t disappoint those in need of such an app."
► iPhone Foot Print With Voice Reader text to speech you can do a lot more than just converting boring text to speech conversions. You can create new ringtones in different voices, play jokes on people in voice instead of plain text, brush up your foreign language skills and do a lot more you can imagine.
► Application for iPhone It is clear that reading, particularly on the iPhone or iPod is tedious. Listening is much easier. This way you can listen to presentations, documents, speeches, notes or have exam material read to you or even create your own audio book."

8 of 25It copies text from a PDF - sounds like a robot & costs you more money for larger documents with text. Pass on this app! I want my money back!!
I am developing a system to teach language, and the app has become a fantastic partner to import voices into animate the characters.
Will not save audio... Says not enough memory when I actually have GIGABYTES of memory available... No bueno
In order for the app to read anything of significant length, you must purchase additional offline voices. This is BS for spend more money for it to work. This is completely dishonest.
Best app around for those who don't have time to read or prefer voice over print..after downloading one professional English woman's voice, I've been listening to a lot of good articles and/or writings on the net. Had problems with Opera for iPhone but safari's ability to copy all makes it a breeze to cut and past text. Save as text which uses the least amount of data. Reads and speaks PDFs.. I also use a jailbroken app called monosb which allows all audio on iPhone to be heard on bluetooth headset. Slick program..no one thinks you are being a rude youngster walking about with those omnipresent white subtly flashing name dropping conspicuous consumption apple headphones... Unless you tend to hum to yourself while listening to music;p enjoy, get it. UPDATE: 11/11/14 I upgraded my iPhone to the six and I was having problems saving audio files. I texted the support at Linguatech, and they responded promptly and gave me advice to address a memory issue with my phone. Great support deathly recommend this product now! "Please close the Voice Reader in the multitasking bar. Therefore double-tap on the home button. This will bring up the multitasking display, showing your "recently used" apps. Press and move the screenshot of the desired app towards the top of your screen. Restart Voice Reader. Before creating an audio file please change the settings in the menu “settings” > “Save audio” > “Format” and “Quality” to: a) WAV b) 16 kHZ or 8 kHz Does it work now? If yes, the reason is a problem with the memory on your device. What you could also check: Please synchronize all audio and text files which you stored in Voice Reader with your iTunes on your PC / Mac. Then delete the entries in the menu “open in” via “Edit” and “Delete”. After this: please try again to save an audio file
I'm using this app and sharing the audio (wav) to other App (Twistedwave) with the open in option, and works great. I just can suggest more english and Spanish voices.
I use this to read very long books and play video games at the same time. There are multiple voices and it is not pricey compared to for what you get. The voices are clear and you can digest large amounts of information at a time with this app. Recommended.
by Theophilus The app reads quite well in English and Spanish. The dowloaded voices work well. BUT it doe not have written instructions nor of any kind to manage the text rythm. What does the : mean, the , the ;. That is how can i manage the voice to read with certain rythm.
