Miku 02 ,

My first thoughts when I found this app were, “Finally! An app to make editing easier! And it’s free!”. While it’s true that it’s free and helps with editing, I still have a couple complaints.



First of all, I think the pausing feature is a bit off. I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but when I press pause it seems quick and hard to pause it exactly where I need it to be.



Also, the comments aren’t very precise and like the pause feature, are hard to get where I need them to be. I think you should be able to click the word or the paragraph in the book and place the comment in that way.



It seems a bit difficult to understand all of the quirks and features so a guided step-by-step process would be great for first-time users (I myself already fully understand the app).



I recognize the robotic voices from the Accessibility’s speech selection built into many Apple products. The voices aren’t pleasant to listen to while trying to edit and is extra annoying because of the Em Dash being read as “Boop”. I also don’t like how the robot-voice doesn’t pause at periods or comas. How am I supposed to properly edit a book being read at a way too fast or super slow speed? I think you should add an option to purchase less robotic voices and more subtle, human voices that pause when they are supposed to and treat Em Dashes as if they were punctuation marks not words. Right now, your app doesn’t have much going for it since I can literally use the same voices to read my book and through a simpler process.



My final thoughts; once the listed above is fixed, this app might have more value to it. However, I do admire the idea and will stick with the app through all of its changes. I give it four stars because I know that in time, this app will be extremely helpful to the writing-community and will spare myself and others some of the time spent on editing. Thank you for reading my review!
