Speak • Speech Synthesizer

This app is GREAT!!! I had surgery in my throat earlier this year and was unable to speak for two weeks--this app immensely helped me get through that time. I found the adjustable aspects extremely creative as well as entertaining. You can change the pitch and speed of the voice, and you can choose from a huge list of various accents! I'm glad I found this app, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs something like it. Not being able to speak if a very trying experience, and having this app to help out as well as add some entertainment value into your life is very nice :)

This app has great potential and very interesting features. I love this app. The other reviewers are complaining about the recording feature, and i do think that it does need some tweaking, but it works a lot better than what it did when it was introduced. I have an iPad air 2 and so I needed that updated. And if both people have the application, you can send text to speech voices back and forth. Try this application.

I use this app to help check my writing. It makes it easy to find misspelled words, grammar mistakes, and inconsistencies. It can be used as an additional step in the proofreading phase. I’ve pasted a 50,000 word piece, and it loaded and began reading it in seconds. It’s great for listening to an e-book during your commute as well. Its a great app overall, and some of the voices sound more realistic and convincing than any other similar app out there.

This app really shows how technology can help people. I would give it 6 stars if I could. I use it with an iPad and keyboard when my TMJ makes it painful to talk. Thank you for creating this app. One small improvement for usability would be to have the text input box automatically active after you press the enter key, so you could keep typing without having tap in the box again to enable typing.

This app is really handy for the times when I go nonverbal, and is mostly accessible. There is a wide variety of voices to choose from, which I love, but recently a few of the voices became unavailable, in particular the enhanced English voices. My go-to voice was Lee (enhanced) for non verbal communication, as it sounded less robotic than most of the normal voices. Unfortunately in recent weeks I have found that my “second voice” is no longer available, and that I am restricted to the more robotic varieties of voice.
