ElevenReader - Text to Audio 4+

A gift to humanity…

Over the past few years I’ve tried app after app that would do something similar to this, they all fall short and each come with hefty subscription fees. Just last week, I decided to look up and see if anything new in the space has come out, to my surprise I found this magnificent app and have finished 3 books since. It’s been a lovely tool in order for me to get through my backlog of 150+ books from the PI authors like Mike Hockney, Adam Weishaupt, Michael Faust, Thomas Stark… etc. that don’t have audiobook companions. The voices are top notch and a pleasure to listen to. I love that the words are highlighted and you can follow along as it’s read to you. I hope this remains free for the foreseeable future, or at most a simple one time purchase. Subscription fatigue is becoming overwhelming nowadays. If there was one issue that I had to comment on it would be that the sync feature between devices could use a little work. I often switch from my iPad to my phone and noticed if I don’t shutdown the app on one device first that I won’t pickup from where I left off on the other device. Also, unless I missed it, a search feature in books would be a nice feature to have.

Honestly amazing

I stumbled upon this app maybe 6 months ago when I was stuck driving long hours for a work trip. Long story short I usually hate audiobooks but wanted to finish the series I was reading and had copious time while driving. I downloaded an audiobook but hated the way they used different voices and really played things up for different parts - I just wanted something to read the book exactly as I would be reading it in my mind (with inflection but no real voice changes or weird noises). I tried a few voice to text options and they were okay but sounded too robotic and not enough inflection to be real. I saw this app recommended on Reddit and the rest is history!! The voices are great - and it perfectly fits my needs my needs. There are times where the voice changes strangely (I noticed some accent changes randomly) but it is rare and doesn’t bother me enough to stop using the app. The only thing I would suggest would be a way to give feedback. Sometimes the voice changes the pronunciation back and forth - It would be great to be able to give it feedback on incorrect ones. Overall 5 stars - I will continue to use!!

This app is beyond the best I've used in several years. I know this app was made not so long ago, but this is a game changer. For one thing, it's free. Another thing I like is that there are some really really good hypo voices. I mean just thinking about it not every app you find on the App Store can compare to this bad boy right here. I mean, no bugs, none of that also, there may be some errors when you generate your books, that's just a server side thing. I haven't had any network issues using this app, and I highly recommended you choose this app to read your books, news, stories, anything you want to read, this app is for you. I know some good apps that do Text to Speech reading, but the other apps I used doesn't compare to this one. Several apps I use, their voices are natural but not good enough for AI the iPhone voices can be useful for VoiceOver on your iPhone but not when you read text. It's robotic, and you need something that will knock you off to sleep within an hour or so. all I'm saying is, five star review all the way
