Great App

Very useful if you are driving and wants to listen to saved sites.

Amazing app

I havent used Speaky as much as I thought I would - mainly because there arent enough free hours to listen as much as I want. Its surprisingly easy to use. Love it.

I recommend this app!!!

Great app. I use this app when Im on the go doing other tasks or dont feel like reading, and just copy an paste ebooks and articles in to the app. This is a great app for all you readers out there. This app is great when my eyes sting, but I still want to go through an ebook.

Great!

I wish I had this app for the last time I had laryngitis! This app is much simpler to use yet does so much more.

Highly recommend!

This app is very good! It makes documents accessible for those that have difficulty reading or time constraints. What a find!

This is a Great App

Responsive updates and a great overall App. ***** :)

Great program - audio reading of texts excellent

From picking up the text from a web page to manually entering a text, this app reads for you. The audio is great and it allows you to listen to info that is just text on the web. One other neat aspect is the ability to edit the text that has been captured by the app, this allowed you to quote text if needed.

Excellent app

I have been using this app for some time. It is excellently constructed, with a logical and intuitive interface. Are used to listen to things they just want to read, but also for capturing articles for research. The app allows you to edit down these captured articles before sharing or listening. Flash carding in the app is great for teaching.

url extraction error

I encounter this issue very often; it is useless unless it has to be fixed.

No import from RSS Feeds ???

Still lacks of RSS-Atom feeds / OPML list import integration, so you must manually copy & paste every link or text in the ap, The only alternative is the Pocket flux..!!! USELESS You can make SIRI read aloud without this app simply selecting a text e.g. on Safari and them press “read" .. And it is expensive, too

Safe and helpful alternative while driving ...

I use this app to listen to news coverage while I drive to work. Too bad It doesnt integrate to read my email and texts!

I love this app

I love this app. I normally get discouraged half way a long report. I am not the best reader. My mind wanders while reading but I am a good listener. So speaky works for me. I hope it never goes away. Nell

quits, only reads in German

The first article I imported to Speaky only offers German as the language spoken. The second article I imported to Speaky quits after about 10 minutes; it is over four hours. The speed adjustment is quite coarse; OTOH, it does adjust fast enough for me, and I imagine, slow enough for anyone. And your report a problem link doesn’t go anywhere I can report anything!

If you like robots reading to you then download this app

Idea is great, but the voices are terribly robotic and jumpy. I didnt enjoy half of the article I was able to listen to.

Worked for 1 day

Worked for 1 day then crashed. Havent been able to open it since and I have deleted. Not worth it.

Bad to worse

I really need this app to do what it leads you to believe it can do. When you import txt or rtf files it throws foreign characters in a lot. Plus it often selects the wrong set of voices. For example German for an all English text. It has so many bugs.

Needs Improvement

While the app is great when youre just too tired to read, my disappointment is the run on sentences. "Speaky" seems to miss most punctuation which can get very annoying. If they can fix this issue, I will change my review and give it a 5 star rating.

Helpful for Internet Research

Thanks for making this. Its great for my dyslexic middle school son to use when hes using the internet for research projects.

Great Update

Useful app for reading articles on your iPhone or iPad, very well done and frequently updated. I definitely recommand it!

Great start

I have been using his app at the gym and like it because it is hard to run an read at the same time. Looking forward to updates in the voice but good start overall
