So here's my honest take on Listening: Text to Speech. I've tested a bunch of text-to-speech apps and this one's pretty solid. The conversion quality is great, and I like how it handles complex words and terms. And it's also super convenient for things like commutes or workouts when you want to keep up with reading. The note-taking feature is a nice bonus too. The main downside is it can be a bit glitchy at times, and the free version has annoying ads. But overall, it's a reliable app that works well for converting text to high-quality audio.

Description

Been using Listening: Text to Speech for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you convert all kinds of text – articles, papers, books, even PDFs – into audio. Pretty solid app if you’re into listening to content on the go.

Here’s what you do: you just copy and paste the text you want to listen to, or you can import files directly. And there’s also a handy one-tap note-taking feature, which is pretty cool. And the voices sound really natural, even for technical terms – it’s not that robotic stuff.

Look, if you’re into learning or productivity, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit buggy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want an easy way to consume content hands-free.
