Press Reviews:

Hot Mac Apps
Even though you get all these options, I was really impressed with the quality of the voices and how understandable they are. They are not harsh and could actually read you a story if you felt like typing that much into the screen. Overall Voice Reader Text to Speech is definitely worth the $1.99, it has to be the best text to speech and also text to speech translator I have seen for a long time.

apps affair
Voice Reader Text To Speech for iOS devices is a new app that reads any text to you in one of 32 voices spanning 21 languages. You can copy and paste text into the app or drag text in using iTunes file sharing feature, then play back or email the resulting audio file. It can also play the audio files in the background while you multi-task.

The iPhone App Review
For the two dollars Voice Reader costs, ($1.99 in the App Store) users can enjoy quality text-to-speech capabilities, a smooth interface, and support for a wealth of different languages. Its a solid affair, and one that wont disappoint those in need of such an app."

iPhone Foot Print
With Voice Reader text to speech you can do a lot more than just converting boring text to speech conversions. You can create new ringtones in different voices, play jokes on people in voice instead of plain text, brush up your foreign language skills and do a lot more you can imagine. Voice Reader text to speech proves it worth for a low price of $1.99 and its fluid and easy to understand UI makes the whole experience even better."

Application for iPhone
It is clear that reading, particularly on the iPhone or iPod is tedious. Listening is much easier. This way you can listen to presentations, documents, speeches, notes or have exam material read to you or even create your own audio book."

Customer Reviews

Removed it from my iPhone (1 star)
I have just removed this app from my iPhone out of annoyance with its unusable performance. I purchased it to read book length PDF files when no audiobook exists. Unfortunately, to listen to any lengthy text, it requires the separate purchase of an offline voice. I was willing to spring for the additional $0.99, but its glitchy purchase system would not allow me to purchase it, since it believed I hadn't purchased the original product. (

Crap! (1 star)
This app stinks. I downloaded it and the only way it really works is if you download an "offline" voice for another $.99. Then when I go to buy the voice, it tells me I must first buy the app before I can download the voice. No-Dah! That's why I'm trying to download the voice so I can actually use this app.

Bait & Switch pricing (3 stars)
$2 = 2000 character limit = about 3 paragraphs. You MUST buy an additional $0.99 off-line voice to really listen to anything more.
No direct link with iBooks at all.
PDF flattening is arbitrary text scraping.
