[2013-08-20] A Google User: Meh Sounds good but bad. The uk voice is waaay better |
|
[2013-08-18] A Google User: Better than other $40 tts engines I've paid for other Android tts engines and even for (me) expensive SAPI5 tts voices for my PC. They don't even come close to Ivona voice smoothness. Ivona voices are the only ones that don't sound like talking with a mouth full of marbles. |

|
[2013-04-18] A Google User: Good but definitely a beta The best tts voice on older phones, though not as good as the new Jelly Bean voice. Lots of bugs pronouncing abbreviations where it will spell instead, and sometimes it will say things like "comma" in Google navigation. |
|
[2013-04-18] A Google User: Excellent indeed Thank you IvonA for making life easy for me.. |
|
[2013-04-15] A Google User: ivona speech to text I really like this site. I am now able to communicate with everyone and can be understood. |

|
[2013-04-13] A Google User: good voice, terrible terrible program good voice, terrible terrible program |
|
[2013-04-12] A Google User: Annoying bug. "No." in dialogs is read as "number". Very disturbing for fiction books. And no way to customize spelling. Would give 5 stars otherwise. |
|
[2013-04-12] A Google User: Too quiet! Couldn't get it any lounder, despite turning up my tablet to max volume. |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Sweet Wow best tts hands down. Oh all you people who complain about slow download speed... Get faster Internet. Dial up won't cut it. Lmao |
|
[2013-04-04] A Google User: Can't download it. DROIDX, sucks up battery trying to download, if I plug in the charger it just crashes the hq app. |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Pitch setting Kendra is sounding a little gender neutral in the demo, I hope I can increase the pitch a little. |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Great Great |
|
[2013-03-28] A Google User: Taking a long time to download Taking a long time to download |
|
[2013-03-27] A Google User: Better than most I've tried several other voices and this one works the best. It has problems with some words and grammar usage, but nothing I can't get pass. |
|
[2013-03-26] A Google User: update problem It is a very good application and really the only complain I have is that I cannot find a way to download the updates except trough google play. I have limited internal memory so using google play for download is not an option. |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: Got to get me some peter jane and pat the dog books ### Can't go wrong here ! Love a good read to make you fall asleep. But I've got to learn first plus I'm going blind so some specks couldn't go a miss... |
|
[2013-03-24] A Google User: File size C'mon 148Mb, can you make it smaller than 100Mb |
|
[2013-03-24] A Google User: Why so large? That's taking up a large amount of my memory space for something so unimportant. |
|
[2013-03-24] A Google User: I9003 Best tts |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: What nonsence 148 mb ?? |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: Average Good voice engine...nothing new... |
|
[2013-03-20] A Google User: Oof. Really? Making us download the entire 150MB file is absurd. |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Good tts for FBReader Overall its fair enough to use. Sometimes it will spell the word rather than read it as a whole. I noticed it especially if the first letter's font size is different (bigger) from the rest of the remaining letters in the word. It should also skip pronouncing punctuation and would often crash when a bullet of some sort was tried to be read. |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Ok but not complete Has issues with built in text to speech |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: By far the best! There is no comparison to this application, by far the best on the market. With such a vast array of voices to choose from and such lifelike quality this can't be beat. Highly recommended! |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Great... Great... |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Nishan Thank you for this wonderful app. .... |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Awesome |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: A bit pushy This has to be the best realistic voice for anything that uses voices, the American voice Kendra is a bit pushy but Amy is amazingly fluid and easy to listen to, great app guys, thanks |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: best voice app This one has best human talk accent app. |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: One of the tts in the market... superb Dear developers Plz.... make an indian english voice like aclepa tts |
|
[2013-02-20] A Google User: Must have! Sounds so clear and real. I do recommend. |
|
[2013-02-19] A Google User: Thanks Great.... |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Cool Cool I do like it, but I need a white voice, I'm not trying to be racist. But I use the speaktoit assistant and is kinda weird to use a white women with a black voice |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Love her voice |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Please add Salli ! I like this voice, but it doesn't compare with Salli (you can hear Salli's voice on Ivona website for yourself !) Salli not only sounds more realistic, and with fewer distortions, but also sexy ! |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Love it! Best voice on Android. |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Kendra You are the best Kendra |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Love voice, but doesnt download Backup voice from ivonna file to computer if you ever get it downloaded once. This voice file is very frustrating. I have spent hrs trying 2 download, just to get "error, reinstall", have reinstalled, reinstalled, etc, etc 10+ many times. Then tried copying from old phone, get message your trial expired. Uninstalled everything. Copied from computer,to sd card, & went to install voices in settings, hit download, then, finally able to get it working. Pshew, great voice but too hard 2 get installed. Please fix |
|
[2013-02-05] A Google User: Can't install Says insufficient storage space. And I have plenty. |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Refused to install "Error occurred issues." Wth.... |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Ivona American accent sounds the most natural followed by English then Australian. That being said, Ivona Australian does a better job than other TTS |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: very poor, cant download the data. waste my time checking my firewall setting because it's their problem |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Bulb Made my HTC desire HD very slow,flakey and unresponsive so I had 2 delete it. I'll try it again in a few months and hope its been sorted. Will be a great app if this bug is fixed. Voice sounded great, just slowed my mobile notably down. |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: This is great This provides TTS which far surpasses the native android text to speech. Excellent job. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Kendra loves AVX To any AVX users in the US, this voice software works flawlessly without hiccups or lag. And it gps navigates with full street names. I'm overjoyed to have a realistic voice that actually works 99.999% of the time. 10 Stars! |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Thanku good people |
|
[2013-01-23] A Google User: Great, but large in size It takes about 250 Mb |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Refuses to install Garbage. "An error occured" when downloading from app |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Gbhk Click click click |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Best free TTS out there. Yes you do have to give them an email right off the bat, but if your like me you have a spam email address for crap like this. It sounds very smooth and if you's like, you can change her pitch (to make her sound more childish or husky, if that's what you prefer but it won't change it drastically enough to make her a chipmunk) and easily adjust her speed in the app which is handy if you like a speed that's somewhere between the choices in your system TTS settings. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Great! Nice voices, works well. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Amazing one! One of the best text to speech I've ever seen! |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Great app Much better than the default one my Nexus had |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Charlie Brown went to tune Santa Claus went to town |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Very good Very good tts. Any chance the files could be optionally moved to and run from sd card memory? |
|
[2012-12-27] A Google User: Very nice BETTER THAN THE REST |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Awesome Words sound perfect. |
