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
What a great app! The reading voice is pleasant and understandable. Even on the harder words. Having the text available to read along helps also. Naturally, as with any new app, there are bugs. But support is readily available. Highly recommend this for anyone doing research or just keeping up with the latest articles.
Already thoroughly impressed! I've used Natural Reader for a while, but this is cheaper, designed specifically for academic papers (e.g., organizes into typical paper-sections, like abstract and findings), and, in my opinion, has a more natural flow in the AI voice. HIGHLY recommend!
Exceptional app for curating a personal podcast of text I want to 'read' as audio.
Brilliant app! I have dyslexia and have previously used Otter, Text Help and Glean, this reader outshines all dramatically. The text display is very clear while listening. The pronunciation is fantastic and the app allows you to report mispronunciations which happen rarely. My favorite part is that you can turn off citations so the text reads smoothly and you can easily skip unimportant information. The note feature is an added bonus too. This app was clearly created by people who care!
Amazing app to help you study especially if you don't have much time due to work, family and other things.
Love this for listening to stuff I would never get around to reading while on my morning commute. Definitely saves me lots of time
I always have stacks of papers I want to get through, and it's been so nice to finally find an app that allows me to listen to them on the go with a naturalistic voice. Would recommend!
The app is impressive. easy to listening to, no robotic voice, easy to use. productive use of my driving time. would recommend.
Great way to listen to papers during my commute. Finally a voice that doesn't sound like a robot.
Having to get through academic texts it is great to have an app that doesn't force you to listen to the same header and footer at every single page!!! the listening experience is also comfortable more natural sounding than other apps I tried before.
