Suggestion: allow adding multiple books and folders of books (or maybe up to 5 books at a time or some such). Also, doesn't come up with TTS search on Play. At least, not on the first screen. Maybe add that to the title. I've been using Google voices through Evie app and these are infinitely better. Outstanding job if it remains free. Will it remain free?

Better than even the paid services out there but for free with no ads. great realistic voices. Still crystal clear at higher speeds. lacks original document view, text only. no bulk importing is a bit annoying if you have a large collection of books. Sometimes too quiet even at Max volume with some voices. Still my top choice out of every app Ive tried.

EDIT: App issue was fixed very quickly, forgot to update the review. Offering this service for free is a significant blessing to those who need the additional accessibility. I hope the app remains free. If this becomes an expensive SaaS product, there will foreseeably be local and open options to directly compete. As of now, Elevenlabs is taking the high road and helping those who are visually impaired or may otherwise need that additional layer of audio for comprehension or understanding.
