Many things to like on this app.
1. easy to download documents into library
2. able to download to phone so not depending on mobile signal
3. viewing using text button shows black on white and is easy to read
4, some excellent voices
5. citations are ignored! I tried one app that would read out every citation so Smith (2016) (176:4) was all read out and really disturbed the flow. There are only so many tmes you want to hear ibid.
7 AI button provides a short summary of a text - enough, I think, to suggest whether it is useful or not.
8. very quick and helpful responses from CS if you use email.
I have been using the app for 5 days now so I may be wrong on some things, If in doubt I have * it.
1. Pronuciation correcting button does not seem to be present on all operating systems. But certainly a welcome function where available. *
2. Same as above for AI button.
3. I would welcome an online dictionary.
4. Pronunciation does not use context e.g. wound (injury) was pronounced when the speaker said "wound up". Minute (unit of time) was read when the speaker said minute (small).
5. Some slightly inaccurate blips or ignoring of brackets. There is no pause between a word and the bracket that follows.
6. The audio note taking is not good enough. It is supposed to record the last two sentences spoken. I found it could record up to 4 or 5 of some quite long sentences. I wonder whether recording the sentence either side of what you have just heard and editing/highlighting pens might be an improvement.
3,4 and 6 are the most irriating for me.
On the whole, an excellent buy at what I considered a reasonable price.
