== Accessibility Service Disclosure ==

Speechify's Voice Keyboard uses the Android AccessibilityService API so you can dictate into any app. Android provides no other API that lets a third-party app detect which text field you are focused on or insert text into another app.
Speechify uses the AccessibilityService API exclusively to:
• Detect text field focus, so the Voice Keyboard bubble appears when you tap an editable field and hides when you leave it.
• Insert dictated text into the field you are using, without replacing your keyboard.
• Read a small amount of text around the cursor, any selected text, the app name and field type, and send this to Speechify to improve transcription accuracy.

Speechify does not use the AccessibilityService API to read, collect, store or share content from other apps outside of active dictation, and never uses it for advertising or analytics. The permission is optional, you enable it yourself in Android Settings, and you can turn it off at any time.

Needs to skip button for when someone who already has previously signed up. I don't need to listen to all of the voices when I've been inactive user for several years. Also your ads could be a little bit less misleading. This app already has great attributes without putting one slip don't exist. For anyone who is new and looking into it you can't just take a picture of the cover and then listen to the book you have to scan every page. unless you buy the book from speechify.

Please do not buy this app if you are trying to read textbooks for school or learning. This app is unable to understand pauses in textbooks that may not be in normal books, (especially line breaks in new chapters, and each chapter section). It sounds like a giant run on sentence. They charged me 135 for a year automatically after a 3 day trial, and I spent a month trying to fix it. I will not be using this app, and "support" is not helpful at all.

It's a scam!!! I was only able to use this app if I signed up (with payment info) for a free trial, with the PROMISE that I would be reminded before the trial ended. I reluctantly signed up because I was looking for something to help with translating my physical medical coding textbook into audio, as I have eye strain/migraines when reading. It says it works for text books and can process text from photos, but I ensure you, IT DOES NOT! $70+ WASTED!!
