Voicepaper Text to Speech TTS for Android

I use this app every single day. I had to create a pocket app account and link it to that which took about 3 minutes, and then I was able to start sharing news articles or websites to pocket directly from my phone, or from the pocket google chrome extension on my computer. Then I open this app, and all those saved articles are available to listen to at whatever speed I want. Great app.

Lo he the app, however 25 bucks a year is a bit too high for me being a student and whatnot. Overall recommend this to everyone!

I’ve been using Voicepaper for a long time now... since before the logo color change. It is the app I use the most on my phone. Yes, more than YouTube or any other social-media. Thank you for this awesome up. BUT... The one feature i do miss. That vanished when I did my very first update, is the old “search” option. ..bring back the search ..bring back the search ..bring back the search Thanks

The document I had from Evernote is mainly Chinese, but starts out with English. So the app automatically choose English and never changes to Chinese, thus skipping over the content. Edit: So as the developer mentioned, the problem I previously talked about no longer exist. My problem now is that this app is so slow. I don’t know what happened, but when I first used it, the speed was the same as the first version. Now the time it takes to download a document from Evernote can take more than 4 mins. These are the same documents I downloaded onto the first Voicepaper app, so it isn’t my internet. Secondly, if I am skipping sections inside a document, the app takes about a min to process my command and play the section I want. Why is this “improved” version less functional then the old one?! The thing is, I feel pretty much forced to use this app. I previously used Voicepaper 1, which was great even if it didn’t have the organization features of this version. I paid to use Chinese on it — a one time fee. Okay, so I understand why Voicepaper 2 costs more. But that cost....to avoid it, I even stopped updating my iOS so I can continue using the first one. Unfortunately, I must have accidentally gave permission to update. This app is the only one out there that does exactly what I need, which is why I am now going to pay to use it. However, if I had another option that was cheaper, even if it had less features (as long as there is Chinese), I would probably switch in a heartbeat.

I was disappointed to find out that it now costs $34.99 a year to renew, which is not worthy considering the simple, limited function it provides. The previous price was $12.99 a year which I was okay with, as the app gets the basics done - reading articles to me, but I won’t pay 34.99 a year for this simple feature. I have switched to another app that charges way less and has many more helpful features.
