in EducationWhat users praise
- Text-to-speech that reads articles/emails/pages — "a lifesaver for dyslexics and seniors", natural voices
- Great for listening while driving; helps ADHD focus; used since school by some
- 900k users, cross-platform
What users complain about
- One free voice — "a dry, dated 2000s TTS"; everything good is paywalled
- Demands a card before the trial — infuriating ("get real")
- The voice sometimes shifts pitch mid-read; UI and subscription irritate
