Narrator: Audiobook Maker

I’m very sorry if it seems like I’m insulting you, but I do not recommend this app for people who want to be an author and have an audiobook for their story. The voices are not expressive enough, and a way to fix that is maybe having a setting that changes the emotion of the voice that’s speaking. It’s also not realistic enough, which means that it’s WAY too AI and nothing that says “I’m a real human!” in the voices. And the way they read, geez it sounds like that they don’t wanna be there. That they sound so bored and have no life in them. 100% deleting the app. But the opinion that matters most is the app’s creators. If they feel like that suggestions by viewers should be done, then they’ll do so! If not, then they wouldn’t. No matter how many times you beg them. Their app, their choice. So that’s what i have to say, to the app’s creators, and the viewers. Goodbye!

I love taking runs or bike rides and listening to my favorite audio books. But I especially love listening to my own creations. I loved this app, but unfortunately I decided to delete it. Two things were very difficult for me. First, you must type your story at once, because you cannot save it. Once you log out, you may not continue with your project. Second, the voices are ear splitting. They are so AI that if you listen to them, you can even hardly recognize what they are saying! Thus, making my experience not enjoyable. And so, I deleted it.

Edit: i updated to ios17 and when i turn my phone off, the background play pauses. It’s really annoying since sometimes it pauses and othertimes it’ll continue playing, and I can’t figure out what’s triggering it specifically. I use it to listen to my epubs and the voices are all standard iPhone AI voices. They work just fine, and you could listen to any amount for free, offline, and off app. I have two stories uploaded, both well over 400k words, and I’ve been a happy listener since. Though, the sizes are so huge the book files are separated into parts. There IS a subscription premium, but that’s only if you want to make an audio file from your files to save somewhere else without any character limits. But you don’t really need it if you plan to listen on your phone. If I could suggest any improvements, they’d be minor like the ability to create folders or different file views as they’re only in list form right now.
