It can also read Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF and many other text file and e-book formats (.epub, .fb2, DAISY) and turn them into the speech.

This is listed as the program open PDF files on the Xbox One. However, It did not read a single PDF file that I tried to open. Total waste of money.

If you're like me and are tasked with reading long documents for school assignments, this app will be your life saver! Totally worth the cost. Feature packed and stable.

For several months i was looking a good text to speech, this one is the best for miles, it does exactly what the description of the app says., im delighted to have this app read long emails or news while i have breakfast or at lunch.

I love this app. The setup is very straightforward and easy to use. I am extremely impressed with the number of updates; clearly this is an app that is actively supported by its developer. It has all of the features I could possibly want. Great job developer!

Love the concept, but the Win 10 Mobile version is just too unstable to count on. Mobile Issues: * The app MUST be running full screen (not just allowed as a background app) to "work". * When sharing a link from the OS share menu, it returns to the share menu instead of the original app from which you are sharing something. You can't share it again at this point because the share buffer has been used/cleared. * Nothing actually gets imported into the app until you switch to it, at which point the buffered links are imported. Note: More than 10 buffered links like this cause the app to crash. Feature Requests: * Why not sync settings to an xml file and MP3s on a cloud service like OneDrive or Dropbox. Personally, I would love to see Owncloud support. No need to create a custom server solution! I'm not upset I paid alot for this app, but these items need to be fixed before I can recommend it. For now, I am relying more on the Poki app.

I paid the money and downloaded the app. Tried to launch the app. All it does is open for 1 second and then closes. I want my money back. Scam.
