Hi, more on this app. I played with it a little more and saw that in
order for it to read, it uses cloud-based TTS reading. So this means
that which ever document you have loaded in the app, it uses data to
send the document to the net and then the TTS voice reads it to you. So,
this is a bit like streaming. I don't know how much data it uses up with
this method, but I don't see it as being a viable source of reading text
files. I also think it only supports txt files, but I could be wrong on
this point. I would still choose to use Voice Dream Reader since it
offers much more features and it doesn't use a cloud-based TTS to get
you that higher quality voice.

I just downloaded and ran the natural read out the website talks about.
It actually looks pretty good. I was able to scroll to a certain part of
the text and double tap it. The speech began reading from that point. I
have not yet connected my dropbox account to it or added other things.
So the only experience I have so far is with the sample text. I switched
between two different voices and it all seems fine. I wonder what the
catch is or what the limits are considering that it is free. I notice
that it only has a 3.5 rating in the App Store. Perhaps I should go read
the comments to see what others have said. However based on the initial
impressions this app does look rather promising.
