Reviews

“I found the app very well made. It easily imported the non-DRM ebooks I downloaded from Safari and added through Dropbox integration. Support for each book’s table of contents made it simple to navigate to the portion I wanted to read, and word-by-word highlighting helped reinforce the content / audio integration.”

Engadget

“This is a fantastic product and one of the best, if not the best, in the Text to Speech category of assistive technology products.”

Disabled World

“Voice Dream provides excellent control over both the written and spoken versions of the text. If you value accessibility blended with powerful sharing and annotative capabilities, go for it!”

LibraryCity

“Overall, I am very impressed with what Voice Dream Reader delivers. This is not a cheap TTS plain text file reader, but a polished text-to-speech player that offers a high-quality, beautifully realized reading and listening experience. If you are a consumer of vast text-based content who is always on the go or just want to expand your listening library beyond music and podcasts, Voice Dream Reader is a dream come true.”

iPhoneLife

“It’s a text-to-speech app that lives up to its name because it works like a dream.”

“This app is one of the best educational finds of my entire career.”

Forbes

“As a user myself and as a mother of a child with dyslexia, I am blown away by the features of Voice Dream. My son is now reading, I survived: The bombing of Pearl Harbor, which his teacher did not let him read for the free reading period of the day because it was too advanced for him.”

Quartz

“Voice Dream Reader is an absolute must buy for new users of Bookshare who want to download and read books on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Even seasoned Bookshare users will enjoy the larger set of features. For me, the ability to set different voices and reading speeds to start automatically with different books was a delightful surprise.”

American Foundation for the Blind

“Voice Dream Reader is hailed by many as the best mobile text-to-speech (TTS) app. It has potential uses by those with physical and learning challenges as well as those without. Any student, for example, who struggles with comprehension and retention of written information could benefit.”

Examiner

“I live and love Voice Dream Reader. Superb!”
