This app is fine if you're uploading a document for it to read, but basically useless if you're trying to get it to read a physical book you've uploaded pictures of. It will skip around, skip words and lines entirely, and randomly read the periods as "dot." You spend just as much time trying to get the perfect picture, and then fixing the script than you would just reading the book. I've also had problems with it pronouncing words wrong. And not long, pretentious words. Words like "as."

Great voices to choose from and sounds pretty natural. However, I really wish I was able to turn off the highlighted words because it is super distracting when I'm trying to read along and it highlights every individual word rather than the whole sentence. I tried looking around to see if I could turn it off but couldn't find anything. I'd give it 5 stars if I could turn that off, because it is seriously annoying.

When it works, it's fabulous. But often it takes hours before I can successfully upload the document I want to read. It is supposed to link to Google Drive, but only does so maybe one try in 10. Linked to Kindle, Speechify reads a paragraph or so and then stops. Reading PDFs, Speechify adds arbitrary pauses in weird places - often at the end of each print line in a paragraph, which makes it very hard to follow by listening (but then it doesn't consistently pause at periods). Frustrating!
