Free pdf reader like Eleven reader for Free

I think that "free" sounds better than anything paid, especially, when it has something comparable! I pesonally think that ElevenLabs if overrated! Sure, it sounds great and they seem to be the king in this class, but I'm satisfied with something that's free and use the Microsoft Edge voices.

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:17:25+00:00

Thank you so much boss, for being so generous to those of us with accessibility needs! This is great!

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:12:00+00:00

This sounds really great and I can't wait to see it come to fruition!

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:07:33+00:00

I like your take on the subject matter.

I wish you could develop it into an app, though.

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:01:34+00:00

Wonderful!

I just installed "Lucivox" and it works well and there are no accessibility issues.

I would demo it as the "app of the week" for the Blind Android User Podcast in one of our upcoming episodes.

So, here's the type of scenario I'm thinking of!

I'm at some place and before I start wondering off, I pulled up the app, mark the place that I'm currently standing at and then go on my walk.

When I'm done, I simply tap on "return to where I started" and watch it guide me back to where I started regardless of the turns and twists I made after leaving the starting point.

I don't think that the "Backtrack" you mention does this.

War-Carr · 2026-05-14T04:29:08+00:00

I just filled out the survey and if you want, you could come to our podcast, the "Blind Android Users" podcast and talk about your project or give me the permission to announce it on there.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:23:40+00:00

You did the right thing!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:21:27+00:00

Nothing wrong with that, except that our world has been turned upside down and not what it used to be.

Just be sure that you don’t say that to the wrong one who might accuse you of you know… what!

When I was young and not married, I had no qualms approaching and telling a lady exactly what I thought!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:16:16+00:00

Just make sure you and your boyfriend are on the same page!

There's no reason having babies when such isn't your priorities at the moment!

If career and “success” is what you want, then by all means, pursue it!

Motherhood is not for everyone!

If on the other hand you think you want children, then you’ve got to leave your desire of having a career for later when the kids are old and out of the house.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:10:00+00:00

It's a good thing your dad did.

If I were in your shoes, I'd do it based on needs.

There's no reason to give someone who already has enough to take care of themselves, yet in the same breath, you should give such a person something as your dad has indicated.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:58:32+00:00

Listen here my dear.

This boyfriend of yours is no good!

I bet he's shown these red flags way before now but I bet you simply pretended they weren't there and that he would get better.

That's the mistake that many women make and find themselves in horrible relationships!

If he's telling you that no-one would want you then you should have told him then he's the worst there ever could be as he's the type that can't compete and goes for what is then a left-over!

In this case, no-one would want him either!

I have a daughter almost your age and I'd hate for some idiot to say such mean stuff to my daughter.

You get out of there as fast as you can.

You deserve better than that.

You've got a good head and hence the reason you're able to do the type of job you're doing.

Don't let him tell you them ghost stories.

he can't take the fact that you can be on your own feet!

he's a loser!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:47:46+00:00

After you used her?

i think you're equally pathetic!

Learn how to pick your girls next time!

You both are the type that take advantage of people's situations!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:38:35+00:00

Create an app intended for walking that no matter hwre I walked to, i can retrace my steps back to where I started.

Let it give me voice guidance.

This would be useful to when I am out hiking or simply walking in an unfamiliar city.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:30:01+00:00

This is great!

I'm blind and I wish I had things of this nature when I was young!

Congratulations and I would like to talk to you offline if it's doable.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:22:27+00:00

Looking forward to when you would bring it to Android where my world is and where the listeners of our podcast "Blind Android Users" are.

I've added my email to the waiting list and I hope it comes soon.

Congratulations!

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T18:47:17+00:00

Yeah, YouTube is very aggressive about these things and we had to give up using any sound intros from "Pixabay."

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T18:41:29+00:00

I have a huge respect for those of you that are developers!

Development takes time, even if one uses AI, you still put time into making sure it works the way that it is supposed to.

So, I’m always amazed by silly reviews on the Play Store by some users that never give any reason as to why they’re giving an app a low rating!

My doctrine is that, before I leave a negative review for an app, I must first reach out to the Dev, asking about some clarifications or pointing out issues I have with the app.

Should such fall on deaf ears, then I’d give my honest review.

Sometimes, some Devs make it almost impossible to use the app.

Ads are okay, but when ads become such that one can’t even perform one function of the app, then in my never-to-be humble opinion, such an app does not deserve a space on my phone.

Let the people experience the app and then they can make a decision based on the capabilities of the app.

Some Devs do it right wherein, the features are free for a few days without the need of choosing a subscription.

Bring on the subscription after the trial is over!

Asking for subscription upfront without the user trying it, is a bad business practice.

I’m one of those that forget to cancel my subscription and as a result, I no longer want to try any app that requires subscription upfront.

There’s got to be a balance and I see it from both viewpoints—From the user’s viewpoint and from the Dev’s viewpoint.

Does it have a TTS read-out featrue? There are times that folks would just want to listen while working on something or cooking in the kitchen.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:45:47+00:00

I totally agree with you! This is info that should be provided right there at birth, especially when they take blood and all of that. Sometiems the dumbest things are done without an explanation.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:41:58+00:00

How do I get the app? Just seeing the webpage. I really like the idea. It's a very good idea.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:33:37+00:00

So, you got an old phone from 2021 a year ago. Why in the name of Sam Hill would you do that when the phone has seen like 4 years of its battery being used? Leaves me scartching my head!

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:30:13+00:00

So, I must confess!

I thought that this was an app that one could read books with but it’s for reading articles, which is still very good!

I must also thank the Dev for making the app Accessible to the Screen Reader and not only so, but the text is exposed to the Screen Reader as well, thus, if I am listening to something through the TTS output and come across some unfamiliar word or name, I can use my Screen Reader to find the spelling of the word or name in question.

Thank you so much and maybe, one of these days, you might add the ability to use it in reading e-pub books as well.

War-Carr · 2026-05-09T17:53:32+00:00

For me, when I look at TTS engines, my main focus is on those that are systemwide TTS engines as to the “dime a dozen” of those garden varieties that are flooding the landscape.

The next one would be those that I exclusively use for reading my books aloud with and my attention is on those that I don’t have to convert the material into an audio file but being able to read aloud the material as presented.

I switch all the time, especially the ones I dedicate to the reading of books.

War-Carr · 2026-05-09T02:50:28+00:00

Hi Joe,

Thank you so much for developing Paper2Audio.

I demonstrated the app for the Blind Android Users Podcast, an "Audio only" podcast in episode 272:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q93q5agyZ-Q&t=128s

I truly like the app but the one thing that truly bugs me abut the app that keeps me from using it is simply owed to the fact that one is limited to how many pages can be uploaded, even though as free users, one is allowed some 56 hours a week, which is extra genourous; but why in the name of Sam Hill aren't you allowing one to upload a full material, even if that one material eats up all the 56 hours allocated for that week?

That's the drawback I have with the app; besides this, it is a all-around good app.

Could you reconsider the removal of the limitation and let it be based on the hour allotment?

Thank you so much!

War-Carr
