The app itself works well on my BrailleNote but the voice itself sounds like it's trying to copy the voice heard in the old fashioned notetaker for the blind, and visually impaired being the Braille N Speak from the late 80s only british.
I'd love a harrrd Glasgae accent speaking all my apps and would happily pay for the pleasure. Sadly, this is something you'd expect to hear from a Dragon 32.
The drawl of it is worse than Google tts voices.
I'm not Glaswegian, so I can't vouch for the authenticity of the accent, but to me this sounds great and far superior to the posh RP english accents generally supplied. Yes, it does sound a little robotic but I know Scots who genuinely do talk that way. ;) Perfect for reading detective noir.
Disnae work right for tos settings. Could have been fun if it would save it as mp3..Does nothing except play
Robotic and expressionless, over all very crappy. Cereproc Stuart scottish english voice is a million times better
Didn't care for the robot voice
Would be much better if you could save and share whatever you write.
The voice is good, unfortunately canny get it to work with google maps etc :-(
I'm very disappointed that it won't remain set as the default text-to-speech program. My phone says my only default language options are English and Spanish; but I can install as many keyboards as I want?!?
My life is complete.
Aside from sounding like a robot from Scotland, it sounds alright. It's a great start. It sounds like what it's supposed to; a young man from Glasgow. A little more fluidity to the speech would help, as would a little inflection and variation in tone. I know I'm probably seeming to say this as if it's no big deal. Just trying to help pinpoint the areas needing attention. I'm amazed at the advancements made to TTS technologies over the last few decades. It's astounding! Keep up the good work.
Has allot of room for improvement. Doesn't sound too good in English. Words are run together and jumbled up. Note 3.
GLESGA MAN. AM I. AND HAD THIS GREAT APP ON S 4 , NOW HAVE S NOTE 3 AND IT WON'T DOWNLOAD ONTO SD. or DEVICE s
Good clear voice able to umderstand. He also speaks a little faster. Thanks
Oor braw glesga patter is pure quality and this app is aboot as much fun as pumpin yer maw!!!
Really handy to communicate with my neighbour who is from Glasgow. Looking forward to the speech recogniser!
Works flawlessly with the S3!
Pretty sketchy programming. No expression, robotic, pauses between words wrong. Something this bad shouldn't even be released. Needs a lot of improvement guys. Back to the drawing board.
Wow. This might be an excellent voice someday. Maybe if it were updated with expression. Otherwise I recommend it to tts users!
Sounds ridiculous, but for free? Can't complain. CereProc has some great paid voices.
I love the accent!
Stupid
The quality is FAR below what is inbuilt standard software these days. To me it just means my #audiobooks will remain 'of limited quality', but this company and the refund button have a history together... ;-)
