Ratings and Reviews
Amazing SpeakText for Me to learn foreign languages, particularly English! ★★★★★
by Silver_evs - University Professor & Coach (Madrid / Spain)
Reading books and/or watching TV series only enhances your PASSIVE English (Written & Oral Comprehension) which is not enough... _||_ Furthermore, you need to improve your Oral and Written Expression, through developing your ACTIVE English... which is not so easy! _||_ You know how difficult it is to find someone that makes you speak every day, when you are not living in an English speaking country. It’s almost impossible, unless you can afford paying a very expensive private teacher! _ The second obstacle is to find the time to do that… _||_ This amazing App, upgraded to the full version SpeakText for Me, combines the time I regularly spend exercising (…to keep fit) with its ability of asking me questions in English… making me think and speak… whereas my words are heard through my earphones and are recorded. _||_ There’re plenty of Questions in the Internet on the subjects you’re in: Questions for Job Interviews… or Questions about Startups… or Questions about Computers… etc. _||_ Choose the set of Questions you like most and let this App ask them to you… whereas you’re exercising (...bike riding, jogging or doing any other routine activity). _ It makes you think and speak, hands-free... Simply GREAT !!! _||_ Besides, this App through "Speak Alternatively" option, can also read, one by one, prepared sentences in your own language (...Spanish, in my own case) and ask you, after every sentence, to translate it into English... then, after receiving your translation, it provides you with the correct prepared answer, so that you learn from your mistakes... FANTASTIC !!! _||_ Not only can this APP ask you questions, but also it can be used to review English Patterns and Idioms, Phrasal Verbs, Vocabulary, etc… to improve your Oral & Written Expression. _||_ Thus, thanks to SpeakText for Me (...with high quality voices), you can improve your ACTIVE English... hands-free! ...among many other uses. AWESOME !!! _||_ As for the Customer Service, I have received an excellent support from Jack (BorG Technology Corp.): He has proven to be a Professional who can actually listen to the voice of Customers! _||_ Thanks, indeed, Jack! …and CONGRATULATIONS for this terrific v31 !!! Best regards.- SILVER_evs /University Professor & Coach (Madrid /Spain)
Love it ★★★★★
by Marek.D
I love this app; it became the big part of my life since I bought it two years ago. I use it mostly to listen to books from the Internet sites like Project Gutenberg that offer books in a text format. English is my second language and the 'SpeakText For Me' gives me the possibilities to listen to books, sentence by sentence, with a speed that is comfortable to me, the app translates all sentence to my native language, additionally I’m able to repeat all the difficult parts of the books as many times as needed to fully understand them. I spend with 'SpeakText For Me' one to two hours every day and, since I started using it, I have made very big improvements in my abilities to understand and speak English. I plan to use it for many more years, read hundreds more books and, at the same time, improve and perfect my English skills. I’m convinced that it is “must to have” app for everyone how tries to learn a new language.
Amazing SpeakText to learn languages with excellent Support !!! ★★★★★

How many people worldwide struggle to improve their oral expression in English? Are you one of them, as I am? Then, you know how difficult it is to find someone that makes you speak every day, when you are not in an English speaking country. It's almost impossible, unless you can afford paying a very expensive private teacher! The second obstacle is to find the time to do that... We haven't got time! ...have we? This amazing APP combines the time I regularly spend exercising (...to keep fit) with its ability of asking me questions in English... making me think and speak... whereas my words are heard through my earphones and are recorded (...so that I can listen to them later on, once my exercising is over). The time I'm allowed to answer each question can be fixed in "Settings" (30 to 60 sec is a good option)... and it works with the iPhone screen Off... to save energy! There're plenty of Questions in the Internet on the subjects you're in: Questions for Job Interviews... or Questions about Startups... or Questions about Computers... etc. Choose the set of Questions you like most and let SpeakText to ask them to you... whereas you're exercising (bike riding, jogging or else): simply GREAT !!! Not only can this APP ask you questions, but also it can be used to review English Patterns or Vocabulary... or even use it as a Dictation Machine! Besides, I have received an excellent support from Jack (SpeakText): He has proven to be a professional who can actually listen to the Customers' voice! Thanks, indeed, Jack! ...for this terrific v22.0 !!! Best regards.- SILVER_evs.
