== Accessibility Service Disclosure ==

Speechify's Voice Keyboard uses the Android AccessibilityService API so you can dictate into any app. Android provides no other API that lets a third-party app detect which text field you are focused on or insert text into another app.
Speechify uses the AccessibilityService API exclusively to:
• Detect text field focus, so the Voice Keyboard bubble appears when you tap an editable field and hides when you leave it.
• Insert dictated text into the field you are using, without replacing your keyboard.
• Read a small amount of text around the cursor, any selected text, the app name and field type, and send this to Speechify to improve transcription accuracy.

Speechify does not use the AccessibilityService API to read, collect, store or share content from other apps outside of active dictation, and never uses it for advertising or analytics. The permission is optional, you enable it yourself in Android Settings, and you can turn it off at any time.

Can be used with the Kindle app if you only want to listen to bits and pieces of it. I restarted the app and my phone, deleted the book, and redownloaded it twice. It is skipping huge portions and reading the book out of order. It's very frustrating for something 100 bucks a year. I tried other books on Kindle and had the same issue. I read primarily on my phone and didn't try any solid books. It gave me a 3 day trail period. I've already canceled it.

The idea of the app is good, but the execution is quite bad. You have to import your reading materials into the app so that it can be scanned and then read. the scanning takes a LONG time - I have a book that's been scanning for more than 2 weeks. It doesn't even import the material properly, and keeps getting stuck and changing the language by itself. Customer service is also horrid. Uninstalled and would never recommend to anyone.

Hi, Asmina. We are sorry to hear that there were features that were not working for you. It should not take that long to scan a file. Normally it will take just seconds unless some external factors are causing it. We hope you can visit our app next time as we continue to enhance it. Thanks again for trying our app!

really love this app, has some super realistic voices that make the reading process so much more enjoyable. if I had one complaint, it's that you can't really download things. you can listen for free with the free voices, but it's not the same. you can start a download, but if it's more than say 10k words, it just pauses and doesn't download past 5-7%
