i like the way it extracts text and lets you read it, but i'd like to be able to read outloud

This is an amazing app!!! Just what I needed for taking an article from a site and sending it to OneNote (or Evernote). Using this, preserves the main photos in the story, most of the formatting, and it was super easy to use the "delete" tool to remove the ads or content blocks I didn't want to save (like comments, reviews, sign-ups, etc.). Super quick, super easy, I'm so happy I found this. Thank you!
