Definitely. I use it from time to time, but rarely I can get through more than a short article without being too frustrated with something of how it works.
Things like pronouncing in an inintelligible way any english words in the middle of an article in spanish, or reading A.P.I. as "A, period. P, period. I, period." make it so that it works great for some articles, and terribly for others.
I recently tried Pocket's TTS on my iPhone and found it to be pretty good. The person who recommended it suggested downloading the high-quality "Alex" voice, which is around 900MB. I have plenty of room on my phone right now so it wasn't a big deal—but I could see how others would not want to download this voice.
What do you find lacking about it? I've heard (first-hand) it sounds even better on Android. There are offline voices and also live-streamed voices, and it all sounded pretty decent to me.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll check it out right away.
It's a service that converts text or websites to audio. It's voices seem pretty good (I've just tested a couple, both with text in english and in spanish).
I love that it haves the ability to integrate the articles I send to Narro into a podcast feed, that I can suscribe to see in Overcast next to my "real" podcast.
