I have been using Claro PDF for several years to read through documents and texts It is a great tool to help in your studies since you can listen and read at the same time A major annoyance in the latest version is a big color circle that pops up on every page and will not allow you to start at any sentence on the page I have gone through all the settings but their seems to be no way to fix it It is very nice to be able to pause and start from wherever you want on the screen With this glitch you have to start at the top of the screen every time you stop reading or pause Please fix this glitch         Great Product but needs to be fixed Gump30
I really use to love love love this app because of it s capabilities but it has been so glitchy for the past couple of months that I loath it Every time I try to edit a document or use notations it kicks me out of the app This is incredibly frustrating considering that I bought the app for educational purposes and I can t even use it Also being that this is an app you have to purchase you shouldn t have to buy credits to import a document or book and save it as a PDF and or use OCR after all it is a PDF viewer editor audible reader Why the hell did I pay for a PDF viewer editor audible reader app that I have to make further purchases to further utilize Clearly it is about making more profit but for this app it makes no sense as that is what we paid for to begin with If you want more revenue charge more for the app I paid nearly 10 for your bundle the other app I find useless so I should be able to get some use out of the thing Also there should be some kind of backup system or iCloud sync that allows a user to use the content in their app from either device This app has some great features and great potential but the glitches and the paid credits for conversion make it not so great         I used to love this app but it has become so glitchy TresJolie214
So far great on iPad Any upgrade to make horizontal mode on iPhone possible                 Horizontal mode on iPhone Ray(Rui)
This app just keeps getting better better                 Great app icuqt2
This app would be great but it need some fixes first It crashes constantly if the file is too big and even with small files while highlighting and trying to add notes I find it crashes when I ask too much of it If you are planing to use this app a lot for tones of reading and not taking it may not be the right choice         Crash Issues not so reliable Citricacid
Nuff said Paid for crap     Doesn t Even Open Pakisworld
This app was and IS always buggy I don t think the developers care anymore about their reputation I ve emailed regarding the app CRASHING every time I ve tried to open it All it does is it sits there and closes itself Still NO Responses As you can imagined I can t use it If there s no update in the next 30 days it s going in the trash     Not a Happy Purchaser spicer23
I ve been using this app since it first came on the market and I love it Sometimes it is slow on my phone but a quick reset of the device usually fixes any issues The app isn t what slows down but the iPhone it s self One thing I would like to see is the ability to change the Dropbox folder name location instead of it always creating a folder for clario Thanks for a great product                     Great Confusid
We rec this app lots for our students who struggle with reading and or writing It is a very user friendly interface Students can take pics of worksheets in an app like prizmo to convert the text and then open it in CLARO PDF to have it read to them and to add text via keyboard or voice It is one of the only apps that I have found that does all of this and is stable when adding text via voice on a worksheet i can think of one other but it does not have FOLDERS like Claro PDF now does YAY Can also record audio over a power point that is converted to a pdf take notes and have the audio sync with each page of the presentation awesome opens doc files too Wishlist double tap to re select the text tool so you don t have to keep selecting it for each annotation option to have larger icons for tools for those with fine motor difficulties ability to add a blank sheet of paper for note taking all in one place and higher quality voices with more speed control adding a picture of a worksheet as an entire page without need to resize KEEP UP the INCREDIBLE work Thank You Thank You Thank YOU Karen                     LOVE LOVE LOVE this app jkv8
Edit 5 likely my last review The app is working now so they actually listen Or were planning on updating Crashed at the point of switching voices while listening When the app went back to the books just died The speed is still half of max from the voice dream but this app is also half the price of the other one so get what you paid for kind of app Still works and functions mostly as before So I ll return the former rating Hope for those that need it that they keep improving Edit 4 It s been a few weeks since iOS 8 update and still no update in sight Nova if your students really need it give Voice Dream Reader a try I did some research and looks like it s an independent developer who s updated the app consistently from at least 2012 likely before It s a bit more expensive but looks very functional and updates in a timely manner Personally something like this should be updated in a timely manner That s just irresponsible on the developers side It also offers a lite version but that stops every 300 characters or so If you don t mind the stops that could work One of the better features I ve found on it was full screen option and it also allows you to go up to 700 wpm Which is very possible once you get used to the reading I was contemplating waiting for the update but this other dev seems to be on top of their game Edit 3 Completely useless on iOS 8 If you have iOS 8 do not purchase this app If you have iOS 7 and need this app don t update to iOS 8 Edit 2 update for iOS 8 needed No longer opens files Just stays in the original Claro pdf Also the speeds only show up to 240 wpm Tried this and Connosiour this one read better Don t really care about the management features Only gripe so far is the frequent page skipping It seems like it s every time the header is on the right Which turns out to be every other page for a text book Annoying when I just want to let the book read without me looking at it but works either way Edit Never mind it appears to just jump from the end I page to the title then move pages Just looked like it was skipping Another potential improvement though while it reads move the position down instead of being dead center Harder to follow when it s in horizontal view                 Updated for iOS 8 Dan.90
Looks like an update is needed Thanks for the review Dan I won t keep trying to open files it just won t happen Please update this now I have students using depending on this app     Need to set this up for a student but can t manage files in ios8 NOVAOTRL
Scrolling in this app is terrible For one there is no full screen mode so the controls at the top and bottom perpetually detract from the content and there is no smooth scrolling so you must view the PDFs page by page rather than say half and half This makes its most important task reading difficult to do Overall it s a good app but it is awkward to use             It does a good job but scrolling needs to be fixed Thomas_A.
Needs a pause button and it needs to automatically cover the whole screen in landscape mode so i dont havr to zoom for every page Otherwise its pretty good             Needs stuff parias52
The developers did a lot of improvements since I first got it It is much more stable and they added a nice few features I would still like to be able to organize my files in folders and for the notes and highlights to auto save Everytime the app crashes I have to write all my notes again Still it is my favorite app and I highly recommend it                 Practically the only app I use lobizao

Works great Has the option of 4 or 5 different voices a dozen different rates of speech with a bunch of extra settings Love this app highly recommended The only part that needs tuned up is voices are monotone and some times gets words wrong I e colonial and colonial time period would be pronounced the same But overall good                 Works very well Wh33Ls90
I loved this app until I updated The update caused my app to go completely crazy It wouldn t do the things it had previously done Finally I decided to backup my docs to Dropbox and deleted the app I reinstalled it and Volila it s my favorite app again The only reason I don t give it 5 stars is because it doesn t give you the option to arrange your docs in order or folders                 Updated my app it was awful ODP123
Impressive App I was surprised it this little apps capabilities for 99 cents Wow After trying several tts apps i discovered this rare gem in a sea of duds This is the best tts app on the market Speaks all my iBooks and PDF s seamlessly in 4 english voices more are avail W in app purchase if desired This will turn your pages for you speak at any rate gives the option to auto read or read by touch and can highlight words as it speaks in multiple colors of highlights and backgrounds Refer to google on how to play Kindle ebooks mine works A steal for 99 cents my favorite is the UK accent Serena in the auto speak and auto scroll mode No word limits just keeps on going WoW                     Look No More Best TTS App on Market GatorGrrl4u
Was initially impressed with the voice quality of the reader but immediately noticed it skips a page when it advances to read the next page Please fix this and I will give this app 5 stars It has many great features such as the option to read in the background             Bug fix needed for continuous reading Lexicon55
Why is it that the PDF reader will only say text instead of reading Can t use at all     Unhappy Techmom345
The app keeps crashing on me and then when I re launch all my highlights are gone So much time wasted by highlighting with this app Please fix this app so it doesn t crash and if it does crash at least save the highlights If this is fixed I will change my rating to 4 stars 5 stars when faster reading speeds are added     App crashes often and deletes highlights 1WhiteTiger7
PROS You can click anywhere in the document to highlight a sentence and the TTS engine will start reading the text from there Probably gives you the of the more when it comes to TTS control and cursor positioning CONS No advancing controls for the TTS Engine They have stop and play but I find it SILLY there is no PAUSE button That means when you need to pause the cursor moved ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE TOP AGAIN Also no way to advance back and forth between sentences and paragraphs on the toolbar below No way to repeat sections such as Sentence Paragraph or Selected Text Cannot click to play anywhere while text engine is currently reading if you d like to skip around For example you have to press stop first Give your users more control             Good but live it, die girl
however they need to improve page turning features its an excellent annotator too                     Best Pdf Voice Reader NicLeon88
