Narrator's Voice

55
Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Narrator's Voice offers a wide selection of text-to-speech voices that many users find useful for content creation, but it is plagued by excessive ads, bugs, and a restrictive free tier, making the paid version a questionable value.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $59.99 4.5★ lifetime (10,266) since 2015

Narrator's Voice provides a variety of text-to-speech voices, which users appreciate for making videos and presentations easier and more efficient R1R12R24. However, the app is heavily criticized for an overwhelming number of ads, frequent bugs, and a restrictive free tier that often pushes users towards expensive subscriptions or in-app purchases R4R6R10R23.

Free vs paid

The free version of Narrator's Voice offers access to some voices, but many users report that the majority of good quality voices, especially in Spanish, are locked behind a premium paywall R23R28R76. The free experience is severely hampered by an excessive number of ads, which appear frequently, sometimes after every few actions or even upon opening the app R4R10R55R64. Users also face limitations on usage, such as a character limit, a 500-word limit, or being restricted to only a few uses every 90 seconds, making it difficult to use for longer texts or multiple conversions without paying R49R82R91R106. Some users report needing to use 'coins' to continue writing, which were not required in older versions R149. The paid version is intended to remove ads and unlock more voices, but some premium users still report bugs, such as insufficient credits despite having thousands, or playback errors R27R29. There are also complaints that previously free voices are now premium R47R76 and that the quality of some voices has declined after updates R47.

Value complaints

  • Many good quality voices are premium only, especially in Spanish, making the free tier very limited.R23R28R76
  • The app is criticized for being too expensive, with subscription prices up to $60 a year or $10 a month, which some users find unjustified for the quality or features offered.R6R52R87R134
  • Users report being charged unexpectedly or having their money stolen through subscriptions they did not intend to purchase.R6R38
  • Premium users still experience bugs, such as insufficient credits or playback errors, despite paying for the service.R27R29
  • The app has shifted to a 'per letter' or 'per use' credit system for premium features, even for existing subscribers, leading to frustration.R46R91R149
  • Previously free voices or features, like the 'Jorge' voice or image-to-text, are now premium or no longer work as well.R40R47R76R254

Where it delivers

  • The app is praised for making text-to-speech easier, faster, and more efficient for various uses, including YouTube videos and presentations.R1R12R24R34
  • Many users find the voices to be of good quality and suitable for creating interesting and professional-sounding content.R5R10R24R42
  • Some users appreciate the variety of voices available, including specific unique voices like 'Pink Sheep' or 'MLG Guy'.R7R25R26R30
  • The app is considered useful for specific niche content creation, such as void memes or EAS scenarios.R5R14R42R43
Worth paying if

It might be worth paying if you absolutely need specific premium voices not available elsewhere and are willing to tolerate potential bugs and a high price point, especially if you use it for professional content creation where quality voices are crucial R87.

Skip / stay free if

Skip paying if you are looking for a reliable, bug-free experience, if you are on a tight budget, or if you are easily frustrated by frequent ads and restrictive usage limits R6R27R29R46. Users who primarily need basic text-to-speech or are looking for specific older voices that may no longer be available or are now premium should also skip paying R47R76R254.

Evidence note: The reviews show a strong negative trend regarding ads and monetization, despite a high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are short and lack detail, while negative reviews are often very specific about pricing and functionality issues.

  1. [R23] 2/5 · US No es tan buena :/: La mayoría de voces sobre todo en español cuestan dinero. Intenté pues ver las cosas en español y sólo había dos en cada idioma y eso es que y eso y que hay muy poquitos idiomas en el español en la app también el problema es que cae en sus que no se pueden saltar o al menos como que me salió uno que lo intenté quitar, pero no se pudo también que se ve que es muy viciosa la apli
  2. [R28] 1/5 · US Premium🙄: Estaba planeando mi primer video estaba buscando la voz que ocupaba todo bien hasta ahi pero cuando puse mexico me di cuenta que todas casi todas las voces de ese pais son PREMIUM exeptando 2 voces que no suenan bien No lo recomiendo al menos que sea tu última opción para editar un video
  3. [R76] 1/5 · US Son unos hambreados: TODAS las voces son premium, las únicas que no lo son, suenan horribles. Sería justo que al menos dejaran 2-3 voces de BUENA calidad que sean gratuitas, pero no, dejan las que suenan asqueroso y las buenas las ponen en premium todas. A parte quise poner una voz con acento nicaragüense, pero las ÚNICAS 2 que habían, eran premium ambas. Aplicación horrible, y desde la nueva act
  4. [R6] 1/5 · US LO PEOR NO LO DESCARGUEN ES UN FRAUDE: Descargue esta aplicación pero me robó más de 60 dólares disque subcripcion para un año y ni un libro puedo leer. Esto es una estafa por favor no lo descarguen tiene buenas voces pero quiere que compres puntos por qué se terminan prácticamente en nada. Me robó más de 60 dólares y de verdad espero que me reembolsen mi dinero. Que asco de aplicación
  5. [R52] 2/5 · US Nice but “”: This is a great app. The problem is the price if you pay for Lightroom 4$ per month and you know there are a lot of application really good and the price is under nine dollar. I think it’s too much for this app four dollars per month is OK.
  6. [R87] 3/5 · US Better than before, at least…: Yeah, so I’ve been using this app since it came out and it just keeps on getting a little bit better and better each year but not enough to justify the price at $60 a year or $10 a month… Unfortunately, this is the only really good honest text to voice app that’s out there that you can actually use without having to have a headache, so at least we can get a quality
  7. [R134] 3/5 · US it's telling me ???: it's telling me to pay 499$ how crazy?? 3 stars.
  8. [R38] 1/5 · US Lied: It said I would not be charged but soon as I put my card into the app while signing up it charged me.
  9. [R27] 1/5 · US Buggy: Got premium and everytime I set it up with text to audio it tells me I don’t have enough credits but I have over 10k credits. I have to close the app and reopen it to make it work every single time. It’s broken. I want a refund or I’m disputing the charge
  10. [R29] 2/5 · US Too many errors: I like this app and the premium voices are good. But it constantly gives me errors and stops playback. I wish they would fix that. Specially, since I’m using the paid version. Can’t say I would buy it again next time I will try something else.
  11. [R46] 1/5 · US Deleting after 3 years: I’ve been paying my subscription and after i havent used it for a month, now its charging per letter lol, thats right, per letter. Will be deleting im not paying for something im already paying
  12. [R91] 1/5 · US To far: Ok, I get this is a free app so there are in store purchases but this is to much, first, I got this app mainly for the text to speech function, after one use I was hit with an add, I look at the voices most of them are subscription only and after my fourth use of the text to speech function, the apps main function? I get “locked out” it tells me I can only use the feature 4 times every 90
  13. [R149] 1/5 · US El odio: No me gusta que me obliguen a utilizar monedas para seguir escribiendo audio y odio los anuncios prefiero la voz de zueira de la play store aunque no tenga Android
  14. [R40] 3/5 · US Used to be excellent: There was a big update a while ago and now the image to text doesn't work. That was the main feature I used and paid for on my other platform. I was going to buy it here but it's not useful to me anymore
  15. [R47] 3/5 · US Voz Jorge antigua: Antes la voz de Jorge la que ahora es jorge(chat) es mala, ya no suena igual cuando antes, antes era gratis y sonaba mejor, ahora tienes que pagar premium y suena mal, no me gusta para nada espero lo arreglen porque suenan mal las voces de Jorge premium, aparte era mucho mejor cuando eran gratis.
  16. [R254] 3/5 · GB Old version used to be much better :(: Shame as I loved using this app for videos specifically the voice “Esperanza” (Spanish- Mexico), this voice was actually used in a tiktok trend (“sita/ sito trend”) but now it appears that voice has been removed which is extremely disappointing, a lot of the stuff is now premium too :(
  17. [R1] 5/5 · US Great app!: This app really made my life better and it made turning text to speech way easier, faster, an mor efficient,.
  18. [R12] 5/5 · US Exactly what I was looking for!!: I was looking for a simple narration voice for my youtube videos instead of using my voice and this app is an answered prayer. Thank you!
  19. [R24] 5/5 · US Best app: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This app is AMAZING. Narrator’s Voice is super fun, easy to use, and perfect for creating videos, stories, and quotes.

  26. [R26] 5/5 · US Add: Can you please add the other voices amber and Ashley
  27. [R30] 4/5 · US Best app ever!!!!: Please get more voices!!!!
  28. [R14] 5/5 · US I use this app to make the motor car crying voice: It is five out of five
  29. [R43] 5/5 · US Reseña di un random que quiere perder el tiempo: Esto es muy útil para usar loqueando y usarlo en vídeos me gustó muchísimo
  30. [R4] 1/5 · US MUCHOS ANUNCIOS: Mas anuncios que voces
  31. [R55] 5/5 · US TOO MANY ADS!: Well, the app is very good, but when you put the voice you want to hear, they put an ad and that's very upset. I'll be honest, it's not a bad application and it's useful, but obviously you have to pay for some things, but it's not too much but what they offer you for free personally is what you need (that's up to you) I give it 3 stars for the large number of ads it has
  32. [R64] 3/5 · US Go ahead and take my money: Why are the ads so interruptive?
  33. [R2] 3/5 · US Repeats: this is a good app, especially voices but some bugs have got to be ironed out out with some of my Bible verses it keeps repeating several times that takes away the flow of the scriptures
  34. [R13] 2/5 · US The dang app wouldn’t load for no reason.: Everytime i try to open it, nothing happens, instead the screen is just loading forever. Please fix this now.
  35. [R49] 1/5 · US Just get another app.: I’ve only had the app for 10 minutes now and the voices are low quality and I feel like you would be better off just getting a better app or using Google translate it will only let me use it four times in a row and you have a character limit, kind of because it lets you type everything out it just won’t say everything and most of the voices cost money so if I were you, I wou
  36. [R82] 3/5 · US Need more limit word: I need to change the limit of 500 word to infinite please now they change the course of it. So now this new versions have 500 word limit now
  37. [R106] 2/5 · US Not What I Expected: This app will only make the text to sound to short paragraphs at a time. The app would be a lot better if we were able to TTS a whole script for a video. Having to record only a few sentences at a time to be able to insert into a video is very inconvenient.
