Real App Store reviews from Frateca listeners, quoted word for word.
App Store review I read a lot, and I listen to a lot of audiobooks. This app is so handy because you can import whatever file you need and have your own personal audiobook to listen to. The app is easy to use, very smooth and very intuitive. Love it!
App Store review I use this app to listen to lecture readings and it’s a lifesaver. The voices are really natural which makes it really easy to listen to… I’ve been using a lot of various Text to Speech apps but I found this one the most intuitive. Can’t recommend it enough :)
App Store review I’ve tried most of these types of apps and this one is the best. It’s great at reading technical docs. The voice is smooth, even at high rates, and the pronunciation is extremely good. Sounds like a person reading.
App Store review Out of so many of these text to speech apps (which are heavily priced) this one has been my favorite, many options for types of voices, is affordable and worth using in the long run.
App Store review This app has saved me! Frateca has helped me to cut down time especially when driving/traveling. Instead of reading I can listen to my documents on my way. It’s a great app and I’m excited about the update!
App Store review I am someone who benefits from reading while also hearing the text read aloud, it helps me to better engage with the article or book. I am a teacher of students with a variety of barriers to learning and I have found that this type of app is helpful for students to access the same content as their peers.
App Store review I’ve been using Frateca for about a week and really enjoy it. The free 20 minutes certainly goes fast and I definitely enjoyed the free trial! I have had a couple of technical issues but emailed support and they were resolved almost immediately! Definitely recommend.
App Store review Better than speechify. Cheaper too.
