User reviews
Doesn't seem to use AI. There's also an annoying long pause after every scentence that can't be adjusted, and after reading a while it tells you "daily limit reached," asks you to enter a captcha code, and then keeps telling you you entered the wrong characters after entering them successfully multiple times; not very useful for pdf books/online novels.

LAS CARACTERISTICAS DEL AULA, SON DE ALTURA PEQUEÑA, SIN EMBARGO NO SON
by Fredy, 2024-11-25
The best part is being able to view the text in the side pane and being able to start and stop it sentence by sentence. There's a huge selection of voices, which is good but is also not good because it's too hard to find the good American voices in the list. They could organize that better.
