Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 92 ratings
  • Narration is too fast

    The narrator needs to pause between sentences and slow down slightly. The intonation and rhythm is fine, it’s just too fast to take in the story, which makes it really frustrating to listen to. Adjusting the speed to .75 makes it sound too odd, unfortunately.

  • Informative and soothing!

    So many negative comments about the narration but I love it. Such a lovely lilting voice that puts me at ease!

    While long articles, short to listen to but very informative. Always feel like I’ve learnt something new!

    It must be AI. Sounds awful. Please get a human to read. I won’t be back.
