I've been using this app a lot on another email account for about 2 years. This app works like a charm I think. I like how I can just use it and read websites it works excellent on websites. It'll read articles and other things right directly from a website. Just click the share and select this app and it'll read it.

The app reads with the word highlighted. But the pages don't scroll automatically. So the app continues reading outside the visible area and I can't see where the app is reading. Also I don't manage to get the sentence highlighted in a pdf, only the word, but with a square around the word, not with a highlight of the word. If I transfer the pdf to text only, all headers disappear, and all paragraphs breaks disappear

I absolutely love this app. I've been using it every day since 2011. It helps me get to sleep every night.

Works by chance. Very useful when it works, if not, try restarting phone. Pronounce function incomplete, regex \b for border only works next to letter and numbers, dependency (?) before and after does not work. For voice emphasis of text in quotes it works to use RegEx "\u201C" pronounced as “(” and RegEx "\u201D" pronounced as “)” . To remove dash at end of line in PDF replace \uFFFE with "" and also " -\s\s"

Love it

If your doc or pdf is perfect, this app reads well. You will need a different program for the majority of uploads, so i do not recommend this app.
