  2. Is NextUp going out of business or something? They’ve been practically giving away their entire collection.

    The app might be nice, but the voices leave a LOT to be desired.

  3. >> then reads them aloud in a natural, human sounding voice.

    NOT!!!!!!!

    I like the program and the choices of news providers though
    but the voices are NOT natural sounding human sounding voices…

    they are the crappy Microdift default voices available in windows….

    Am I missing something somewhere in the settings? lol

    good giveaway…
    all in all, I rate it an 8 out of 10

    thanks
