Review of best text to speech app portable#
It's great! I also bought a portable fold-up keyboard, that connects to the iPhone through wireless Bluetooth. I bought an iHome mini-speaker that connects through the headphone jack, so the voice carries MUCH louder. If you're using this app as your voice, here are some great tricks I've come up with! The iPhone can be quiet, especially when there's any competing noise. They were a great hit at the last party :) There are many different voices and languages, if you want to entertain people and make light of your disability. It even changes intonation depending on the punctuation you use! It reads the sentence differently if you use a ? or a ! and it pauses for periods and commas. I lost my voice 7 months ago, and I've been using this app to talk to people. Must have if you can't speak! Helps me communicate with others :) Thanks again for developing such an amazing app for us to use! :) keep up the good work! All in all, this app is a definite keeper for me. I haven't experienced having to have an 'account' yet. The only way to use it without, is with the saved phrases. It is also notable that you cannot use this app unless you have an internet connection. The description says that it can read emails, but either I'm really slow witted, or it doesn't do that. Sometimes I forget, & that is just a big hot mess :) it would also be nice if the phrases saved in alphabetical order in addition to the order entered, as it saves them now. I hate having to select everything & delete. The only thing that could make this app better, is if I could push a button to delete out all of what I had previously written. The voices are among the most realistic I've heard. I like the ability to save often-used phrases. Until now! I am so grateful for this app that allows me to communicate again without playing charades (which my family is horrible at) Even if it does takes me a bit longer now than actually speaking. In the meantime, I have 4 kids and an amazing husband who have no idea what I'm saying. Hopefully, it's use will come back on its own. I am not supposed to use it for a while to help it heal. During the surgery, one of my voice box nerves became paralyzed. They've got better voices, control of voice speed, pitch and volume, and a lot more features that this app doesn't have. My advice to anyone looking for a good text-to-speech application: DON'T GET THIS ONE! Go with either Speak It! or Voice Reader. The app doesn't allow me to view all eight pages of available voices when using VoiceOver I can only select from the voices on the first page. Also, as I am blind, I use the VoiceOver accessibility feature on my iPhone. So basically, I paid to not have the voices on my phone, to only have access to them through an internet connection, and to have the app not read any text if I put more than a paragraph into the text window. Anything more than that, and it doesn't read it. Then, as I discovered today, it can only handle a few sentences at a time.

You just get to access it on iSpeech's servers. With this app, however, even if you pay for a voice, you don't technically get it. With other high quality TTS apps (such as Voice Reader by Linguatec, or Speak It! by Future Apps, Inc.), if you purchase a voice, that voice is downloaded to your phone, and you can use it with no internet connection required. My biggest complaint is that you can't use the voices without an internet connection.

Other than that, it's really nothing special at all. Really the only thing this app has that other text-to-speech apps don't have is the iSpeech voices. Visit our Terms of Use at and Privacy Policy at:.
