The best.. This is by far the best ebook reader for android. Does almost anything you want it to read. The search option is awesome absolute time saver and as well as the table of contents option. I love the options to have the display of the page and text layout. Very slick with page movements. But my favorite part is the text to speech option. This is a game changer for anyone who is used to audiobooks or uses audible. There's a bunch of different voices to choose and they all sound great. 👍
Reviews for ReadEra Premium – ebook reader
Great app! I only have two requests. I like to highlight what I am reading, as im reading it, with the text to voice reader that has yellow highlighting and navigation, please make the nav buttons bigger, it's too small for my phone & fingers. Also more natural voice over would be great. My textbooks have lots of side notes, and the jump in tone is disorienting.
At first, after purchasing this, I thought that the syncing was not working correctly since a bunch of files seemed like they weren't syncing onto the secondary device because it said that there documents without files. Later, I discovered that when I searched for those same books on the Read Era app, they really were there after all. So, if you have a similar issue, that might help. Reaching out to their tech support was very helpful and they were very responsive over email.
I do really like it, but the audio reader keeps on skipping some words and small sentences that creates long pauses. It's not like it's reading bad words either. Hope this gets fixed. Other than that I have no real issues. I download books left and right with no problems. And they have a couple of different voices for the audio reader.
This is a decent reader, once I got the pro version. It reads a lot of file formats. It has a decent audio reader that will run even when my screen goes dark. The voice is very computer sounding, it doesn't do phrasing - it just reads the words. It's relatively easy to get to a place to start. You can copy, translate, there's a dictionary, and you can leave notes.
I'm always skeptical about paying more than maybe $2 for an app, but the free version of this one is really generous and the paid version actually *adds* to it instead of unlocking things one would consider basic features that should have been free from the start. Very much worth it. Really enjoy this app and feel like it's more than worth the cost. It does everything I need/want it to do (backups & folders mainly) and the UI is pleasant.
The audio reader can be configured to use your own local (and potentially customized) text to speech (TTS) engine. Making this insanely affordable compared to voice readers apps that charge you as a service for $100 a year or steal your information to provide a usable service. This is one of the few apps that hasn't made me regret buying it. Would donate post purchase because its updates are so steadily improving the usability without succumbing to fad-y nonsense. Great overall reader.
I love it enough to pay for it only problem is that the text to speech has a hard time pronouncing names especially non english ones (no surprise) and will also change pronunciation of words depending on where they are in a sentence to something completely out of left field. I still love it and recommend it tho to all my fic girlies who need a placr to store and read their fics🥰
The only problem I've had is when using tts occasionally it will come across something it doesn't know and pause. I wish there was an option to all it to skip the things it doesn't understand. It is usually a symbol or something like "..." which pops up occasionally. Other than that I love the app and have been using it for years
Can't figure out the multi-color highlighters option for quotes (was a selling point for me). The read-aloud function is not bad! TBH, it doesn't seem all that different from the free version, but I love that one so this is basically That, plus some other things that may or may not be more colorful.
