Definitely the best selection of German voices I've found so far, but not great as far as the settings go. I would like to be able to tell the reader to jump over things like footnotes and page numbers (like you can in Speechify). When reading an academic text, having to manually scroll past the the footnotes disrupts the reading flow and kind of defeats the point of having someone read it for you. It makes it useless for driving or jogging, for example. This feature would be a game changer!

Ehhh, could be better. No matter how clear the pictures are from the book, it still mixes words together or changes a letter or forgets a whole freaking letter. The pronunciation option simply doesn't work. I edited three words and it did not change how the ai spoke the words. I can't edit the text itself, so i can't fix any little mistake the app makes when converting the picture to text and audio. The only reason this app is getting 2 stars is because of the more realistic, *free*, ai voices.

Quite good. Can't ever replace properly voice-acted audiobooks for me, but nonetheless a good option for people who rely on audiobooks/TTS to read. The voices vary quite a bit in quality, but there are some pretty nice ones. My main problems are lag and slowness, just general performance issues with longer books (I've had this issue on all my decides, regardless of specs), and that sometimes the formatting gets a bit messed up when importing an epub.
