have a text-to-speech option
We would like an option where students could highlight the text and have it read to them to help our low readers with difficult text. Maybe have it coordinate with the iPad Accessibility option of text-to-speech.

Yes I think speechify style read this would be killer feature for reading textbooks faster. I use a good iPad and Mac app where you can select the readable area which is usefully to avoid the app reading page numbers etc.

I would love if Speechify could integrate into Goodnotes as the voices, word highlighting and speed controls are the best I've experienced. Currently, I listen/read in Speechify and note take/highlight in Goodnotes but it is really clumsy & time-consuming manually switch constantly. Speechify controls in Goodnotes would just be incredible, it is hard to believe that there is no unified note taking & quality text to speech solution yet for PDFs

I am a new grad student with ADHD and reading especially at 1.5 speed would really be able to help me get through all my readings. I wish I had known you don't have text to speech before buying it. Please add!

Please add the read text to pdf files for GoodNotes. My dyslexic son must use GoodNotes for his math class but at this time no option to have the text to be read aloud.

This will actually be a useful feature. It would help students memorize the content better. It's also helpful in school settings. Since my job involves teaching, I'd love a feature like this.

This is actually baked into iOS and Mac OS - they simply need to add it to their menu that pops up when you select text with a cursor.
Annoyingly - on Mac app you cannot select text with a cursor at all. I am unable to copy a word from a pdf on goodnotes and paste it elsewhere, not to mention read a selection aloud like I can do on every other mac program.
I’m only talking about pdfs here with text that is already parsed - it’s no work for Goodnotes to integrate - iOS does it all

We are still asking for this feature, please. It is an accessibility need. Text to speech should be build into the app.

If nothing else think of your dyslexic users. It’s a fantastic app, this would really put it at the the top

This is a must-have feature. Pretty easy to implement also.

I like to load text books into GoodNotes and highlight stuff inside them, but I also like to have the text read to me as I read. I currently have to load the book on my PC and use my PC to dictate it to me, but I’d rather if GoodNotes could just do the whole job.

I wonder if the developer listens to us... the READ-TO-TEXT option is a MUST for this app. Multiple users have been requested this option on GoodNotes for several years now. Please add! Thank you.

Love this app...it is the most app used on my iPad! The read out loud option would have made this app perfect! With so much material to read taking notes while having it read out load would make it easier to digest and learn!

Text to speech option is the only thing missing that makes me switch back to Notability which has a fantastic multilingual TTS. I don't know why this feature was excluded from the beginning?
GoodNotes team Please get onto it, this feature was requested over 3 years ago I have been eagerly waiting for this feature and reading update logs hoping it would be added.
Keep up the great work! Looking forward to future updates 🙏
