Great news! iOS 10 comes with many free, high quality TTS voices, including Siri voices. Go to iOS Settings, General, Accessibility, Speech, and Voices. Select the language you want to use, and you'll see all the available voices. The enhanced versions of the voices are higher in audio quality, but note that they use a lot more storage. After download is complete, go back to Voice Dream Reader. Go to the voice selection screen and tap on the Refresh button at the bottom. Newly downloaded iOS voices will be available for use.

Customer Reviews
This is THE BEST app ever!!!
This app is worth every penny, it functions with amazing precision, and the voices are clear and natural sounding. I have tried so many text to speech programs over the last couple of years. Many of them cost way more than Voice Dream. This is by far, the most user friendly, convenient, and best sounding out of all of the text to speech software I've used. I can't recommend this application enough, especially because of the quality sounding voices. I like to have a specific voice for each author, because it helps me keep the material organized in my mind. So the fact that there is a plethora of brilliant voice options is a huge plus for me!

Voice dream is a timesaver
As a college student and 60+ hours full-time job with a family of 5, voice dream has allowed me to diligently manage my time. Voice dream allows me to download document, listen, highlight, take notes, and word search within those documents. Voice stream allows me to do my homework while preparing meals, exercising, commuting, doing chores, and walking (my favorite). The voice dream was paid for in less than one month because I improved my time management resulting in our reduction of take-out meals. You will not regret purchasing voice stream, as long as you use it.
