Yikes, anyone know how to remove the text to speech option on your stories? Just listened to a soulless computer voice narrating Lair of Beasts and am honestly so profoundly underwhelmed and appalled that anyone would listen to that horrendous colorless voice attempt to humanize a story. 
          	
          	Sorry Wattpad, but that’s a huge fail. Rather pay a real person to narrate a story. 
          	
          	Am I wrong?!

@JeanineCroft yes a better voice would be great but some other services with more human voices also get it wrong. Galatea for example often has the inflections comically wrong which can be worse than a neutral voice at times.

The built in text to voice on a phone cannot be easily paused on headphones, cannot rewind other than by paragraph and randomly changes accent if there is anything that is or looks like another language. There are too many bugs to list. But the Wattpad tool controls are much better and it’s built to work with the software so it’s a bit better.

@trexlikesbooks that’s a fair point, my dear. For visioned impaired it makes total sense, I wish that it was a more human sounding experience or paid actors. I was more referring to people with zero vision issues who choose to listen to it over reading. Appreciate your response :)

Last time I checked, around almost year ago when she last updated she replied to a comment saying that she had started a new company and was really busy…but its been silent since. I hope she hasn’t completely given up writing. I even looked at her other profiles through her linkedin and its also been nothing for over a year.
