Review Summary
Audioread offers ultra-realistic text-to-speech voices that users find helpful for multitasking and accessibility. Many praise its voice quality and ease of use. However, several users dislike that credit card info is required before trying the free trial, and find the pop-up interface intrusive without volume controls. Some report conflicts with keyboard input (e.g., '@' character). Payment management is unclear, causing concerns about subscription cancellation. Overall, it is appreciated for its voice quality but has usability and payment experience drawbacks.
