SpeakText Lite App Reviews

DO NOT GET THIS APP get google translate

This is trash. They obviously never tested it.

iPad2, iPhone4 iOS5 on both I think they make this SO crappy so that you are compelled to BUY the full version. Do not waste your time downloading it. 1)does not function properly and runs extremely slow. 2)if you use a usb keyboard it breaks the app 3)crashed on 80% of my standard notepad, word and ios legall pad documents 4)WAY too slow to be practical (speech and navigation of app) I am sure the people who feel theyve worked very hard at compiling this application are offended at negative statements about their program but it is far easier to wait until publishing the app rather than put something out that clearly didnt even get a cursory appointment of beta testing. For free, well at least you can type things and have it verbally speak them but frankly for text to speech, even free, theres far better out there for ipad,iphone. Some are pay but under $2.

Ok heres the deal, it does talk and will work with google and other pages but it only reads part of the page leaving you to read the rest. I was hoping I could do other things while it read to me. But it only reads a part of the page. So for me its just ok a one star. Wish it read more...

The app wont let you type or paste text, and if it wont do that it surely wont / cant speak!

This app is amazing. I tried the free version and was so excited that I decided to purchased the whole bundle. It is worth it. Thank you producers. Excellent work. Rjc

Worst app ever wast of time

Get Google Translate! So much better than this crappy app.

This would easily get 5 stars if I could transfer docs from Dropbox directly to SpeakText. As is, I open the files in Dropbox, reopen them in GoodReader, and select one page at a time to paste into SpeakText. The point of using this app and paying $20 for it was to make text accessible. It is so close to being perfect, but not being able to directly load docs into the app without having to connect to the computer is very frustrating. Can you create a way for Dropbox to recognize your app and put their docs in your publications or documents folder? If I could directly upload to your app like I put things in Dropbox, that would be fine, too. For the most part, I am very impressed with the speech recognition, although she kept reading one word wrong. When I remember what that word was, Ill come back to let you know.

Only reads one sentence to you then stops and says buy full version. :-/

SOON AS I WANTED IT TO READ A WEBPAGE TO ME IT TAKES U TO THE APPT THAT COSTS $19.99 BAIT N SWITCH GEE SO CLEVER SO CLEVER U GET ONE STAR N DELETED FROM MY PHONE

Well done!

I think this looks neat, and could be very useful! If only the about portion was more clear. It looks like it was a translation of the original document outlining the product, but un-edited. Check it over (edit) and enjoy the $$. I wont download until I understand it better. The same sentence 10 times does not constitute a thorough explanation. Great idea though! Hope it works! P.S. Stop rating yourself and start improving your app. Read your reviews and fix it. Youve only made a tiny bit of money here (Im guessing only a hundred or 2), and you could get 10x that amount, or more, per week if you just got to work for a couple of days! I dropped you two stars for your obvious boosting of your own ratings. Get to work! Stop being petty! Get rich! Get it? One star, because you should know better. P.P.S. I downloaded this just to give you a review... Eventually Youll get flagged for boosting your own rating. Dont waste your effort on dumb crap. This app has potential.

I downloaded this. THEN as it downloads, started reading reviews. Wow.. So many low reviews. The high reviews are not really encouraging.. So Im just going to delete it without trying.. Seen enough.

I love how I can type anything & have it automatically translate into several languages, but my favorite aspect is how I can translate something once over the Internet & save it so that I can hear the same thing translated whenever or wherever I want, without having to be online. The one thing I hate, is that some of the languages displayed arent actually supported; which renders them completely useless.

Im surprised this is free. Simple but gets the job done. Helpful for my speaking handicap

I was excited to download this and even pay the 20.00 for the full price, but it stinks. Its not so good for long documents, anything over 100 pages and it crashes while translating. Ive wasted money and time trying to get this to work, but it doesnt.

I just came down with a bad case of laryngitis and the app (free version) has been great for communicating with my young kids who cant simply read. It has worked flawlessly all day. Perfect free solution. Thank you, developers!

Very nice, thanks

.. an Russian, or brilliant Romanian accent would make this app - I dunno - enjoyable in the least. This voice makes me nauseous.
