Die Applikation ist gut gedacht, muss aber an einigen Stellen noch weiter entwickelt werden. Die Sprachsynthese hat mittlere Qualität. Die Geschwindigkeit des Vorlesens kann man nicht einstellen. Es gibt vier englische bzw. amerikanische Stimmen. Probleme gibt es, wenn man eigene Texte importieren will. Diese müssen im Plain Text Format von einem FTP Server bzw. von einer URL runtergeladen werden. Einen solchen Zugriff hat nicht jeder und man muss sich somit um eine neue Lösung bemühen. Der Zugrif über MS live portal hat bei mir leider nicht funktioniert. Die Dokumentation besteht nur aus den FAQs. Auf Gutenberg.org gibt es, so wie es einschätzen kann, nur klassische Literatur. Fazit: Ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung Sprachsynthese, aber das Tool braucht noch weitere Entwicklung für den direkten Texttransfer und erweiterete Nutzung von anderen Textformaten! Dafür ist es ja auch die Version 1! Wie war das, jeder Hochhausbau startet im Keller;-) Christian

Steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen
Die beste Sprachsyntheseapp auf dem iPhone
Die Stimmen sind die besten, die ich je auf einem Mobilgerät gehört habe. Die App ist für eine 1.0er-Version sehr gut gemacht. Kein Vergleich zu den anderen teils grottenschlechten Text-To-Speech-Apps hier im Store. Die Anbindung an Gutenberg ist eine sehr gute Idee. Jetzt fehlt nur noch eine Kaufoption für eBooks, damit man auch aktuelle Literatur, die nicht frei im Netz verfügbar ist, lesen (lassen) kann.
Good but needs some changes
Right now the app can only import txt files that are posted on the web. Using your own files is not an easy process. I am using 3.0 beta and if there was a place where you could paste your own text that would be great. Or a way p import some other way. The voices are great.
Bad app
The app continually shuts down and I cant get it to read or download the book I want.
Migliorabile
Lidea di base è buona ma andrebbe migliorata sotto molti aspetti. Eccone alcuni: -non è possibile avviare la lettura da un punto specifico; -il metodo di preparazione e trasferimento dei file è faraginoso e molto spesso non funziona; -in mezza giornata di utilizzo saltuario si è bloccato diverse volte; -la lettura si interrompe se non disattivo il blocco automatico; -la documentazione è molto scarna; -linterfaccia non è molto chiara ne ben fatta: ad esempio bisogna andare in SETTING per importare i file, i file demo non si riescono a cancellare,... Spero che venga migliorato anche perchè il costo, se confrontato con altre applicazioni, no è basso.
Problems
Ok, I was utterly excited when I saw this. Seems greeat at first and comes with ready installed books, however to import your own texts (articles/email etc) you need to have your own website...And upload of there first. Then I think Id rather use ghostreader on my mac which takes any file any size and makes an mp3 file in less than a minute. Hoping for some nice updates here:-)
Still Needs Work
Unable to upload custom text files. Spent several hours with no luck after following examples as exactly written in FAQ section of company webpage. Tried to use Notepad (Windows) and TextEdit (Mac). Only files which could be uploaded were from the Project Gutenberg website.
