I do like to try this out. I haven't opened the app yet but it's on the screen home screen and I do like to learn how to tell it about reading and read out loud so I can I can so I know what to do
This might be the best app on my phone.
Great
This app worked great until yesterday. I made no changes. Now I get nothing. I tried installing and reinstalling the app. I made sure all my apps are updated
Update: Interesting idea but definitely needs help. On my pixel 7 I can't access the read to me feature. I really like listening to my stuff so that would be essential for me to use this ☺️ Make sure it isn't in power saving mode or it won't read to you
Im not sure why this app does not have betylter reviews?! I love this thing. It pulls the text right out of the pages.
Initially it worked. Then it gone to sleep. It doesn't work on the same website.
Initial release of Reading mode.
