Great Tech, Questionable Support

Ill star with the bad since its the first thing you’ll read: They have a monthly word limit on premium that they don’t advertise. Yes, it’s high, but I still hit it, and in doing so can’t use the tool I paid $160 for… The text to speech is very good when using the Premium Voices. I use another app to turn free web novels into .epub files, then import them via drop box, which works well. Their free voices are unchanged from Microsoft Sam. The app is okay, and I’ve had to reinstall it a few times, as that’s the default fix for any issue. Layout is obvious and easy to navigate. Then there is the support. They average 2 days for a response, one that always seems to end up with “have you uninstalled the app.” Overall the tech is good, but may not be for you if you plan to use it regularly.

Charges you $159 for “trial”

First off: don’t do it. Soeechify will charge you $159 for the “trial”, no matter what you select. First they charged $1, then $139, then $159. Thankfully my bank auto flagged this activity as fraud, but not before the $159 actually cleared. My bank then shut down my card, which was definitely a hassle. I contested the charge with Apple and they eventually refunded my money, but this just added to the whole delightful experience. Now for the app functionality: I’ll admit, I wanted to hear Snoop Dogg read research papers, but it’s a pity he got involved with Speechify because it’s a subpar text to speech reader. Words like “reality” get pronounced as “Real. Eye. Tea.” It would be fine if it was just a couple of words, but words as simple as “reality” and far more complex are regularly misread in such a way that it became useless for me to try to use the app. I tried switching up voices to see if it was unique to the Snoop reading voice—and it’s the app. The problem carries through with every voice. The native Apple accessibility feature which can convert any text to speech (web, PDF, ebooks from Scribd or Kindle or anywhere, etc.) does a much better job reading, and it’s free. Ultimately I went with listening.io . The app doesn’t have as many snazzy features (yet), but it’s a flawless read aloud experience, without the flaws that Speechify has. It can take notes, and allows navigation through sections in a way that Speechify doesn’t. Most importantly: they didn’t charge my card during the trial period. (It’s also cheaper.)

Scam

Whoa whoa I never agreed to pay for anything and then I just got charged for a renewal without my consent.

SCAM

This app is a waste of money as much as time. I hardly remember signing up for the free trial over 2 years ago, and today just got charged $140 out of nowhere with no confirmation in my emails and no authorization. they hide in the fine print that it's about $7 a month but they don't actually do that, they only charge annual. if you even notice that, i doubt you'll remember a year later. if they were as clear about the payment details as they are about not accepting refunds, then i'd leave a better review for this mischievous company taking advantage of people. customer support is also absolutely awful. they take forever to get back to you, if you even find a way to contact them. Overall i feel like a consumer who got taken advantage of by a big company. if you take to google, you will see i'm hardly the first person with this exact issue. I have not been helped in any way by my bank or Speechify so i hope atleast someone reads this and avoids the HUGE mistake i made in buying this waste of gigabytes that hardly functions properly. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
