    I use VoiceDream everyday of my life. It is the single most helpful accommodation that I use for my dyslexia in order to succeed in school. It has empowered me to not let reading fatigue get in the way of my learning. I love VoiceDream.

  • Greatest app I’ve ever used

    Such a user friendly app that allows you to read along and tracker with the audio of any pdf. Truly revolutionary not just that you can also make notes in the margins and highlight

    Right off the bat they have a free trial, but of course they bill you for the free trial. If they trust their product is good then give me time to do a trial. So I did. The scanner is blurry. I could move here and move there and become a human scanner but it doesn’t let you zoom in to get iPhone. I could take a photograph, but it doesn’t read from images. I could scan images and then save them to files and then load from files if I keep them in order but then if I wanted to do all that work, why would I be using this app. It’s not really thought out very well. The voices sound much worse than the examples you listen to so I had to listen to a voice then actually use it. Listen to a voice then actually use it so of course they make their sample sound perfect but then if that’s not how it’s gonna sound when it reads why is that a sample. Pretty skinny mechanical cheap AI sounding voices.

  • Essential but needs more love

    UPDATE: where did Aaron go?? Other apps’ tts are getting more and more realistic but voicedream doesn’t seem to have any plans to bring on this next generation of voices. Also syncing can break down and overwrite at times. It’s a bummer that after they started charging a subscription they promised new features but i haven’t seen any progress nearly a year later UPDATE: still pretty jank, product hasn’t changed in years now, terrifies me when I run out of storage on phone or Mac it looks like my library disappeared

    I downloaded this application to help me study for my CDL driver's manual but the lectures are not correct sometimes they only pronounce the letters and not words. Very frustrating

  • Thank you

    Your App has provided me the tools to continue learning. I have been teaching for more that 42years and reading material is often very time consuming and making the time is often difficult . Your app has helped me review material by listening. Some of my volumes are 1000 pages or more and your app has no problem storing the PDF and reading it to me. Thank you. As I am now 78 your app has allowed me to refresh my memory and review books that I can continue to provide accurate information. I purchased your suite years ago and I have continued to recommend it to everyone looking for a PDF reader. Thank you so much!

  • NOT WIRKING

    Obviously a lot of effort has been put into this ap. Tried 3 times to start the trial period but was caught in a loop to nowhere. Tried three times to contact support but was redirected to faqs which did not work. I’m probably signed up to 3 trials and will be billed 3 annual subscriptions. Also using the program is too complicated for me. I will be spending too much time getting it to work. I don’t have time for the program debugging. This program is not ready for sales. I never found the secret way to cancel either. Please cancel all of my subscriptions or other involvement with this ap. Duane Stanley

    This app has some serious issues. I have an annual subscription and I can login on my iPad but it will not log me in on my iPhone. It wants me to buy a new subscription. The account is supposed to be unlimited. I’m only using it on my devices. it’s useless driving in my car, which is what I purchased it for. Very disappointed.
