“Just wanted to say what a truly excellent app and the feature where it can learn words is beyond useful. Also beautifully designed.”
“Thanks so much for making such a great TTS app — this was literally my favourite app of 2025 (and probably most used).”
“Pipit is awesome. I'm constantly evaluating it against some of the others. Its much better in speed and overall interface.”
