Hi all,
My name is Dani. I'm an iOS engineer with a strong passion for accessibility. Some of you may have seen my other message about RetroRapid, my retro racing game. The feedback I got here was incredibly valuable, and I'm back with something new.
I'm releasing my first solo app, and I started it to scratch my own itch. I've been having issues focusing when reading long pieces of text, and I find that listening to them really helps.
Xarra does exactly that. You can import content from the web (via a URL or the Share Extension from Safari), by pasting text, or by importing a PDF. The text gets processed and you can listen to it offline using on-device voices. Accessibility, including VoiceOver and Dynamic Type, has been front and center since day one.
I'd love it if you could take a look and share your thoughts. In particular: • Does VoiceOver navigation feel natural throughout the app? • Are the on-device voices easy to select and switch between? • Is the import flow intuitive? • Anything that feels confusing, missing, or frustrating?
Here's a TestFlight link to the current build
Thanks so much for your time and for all the knowledge shared in this community. I'm really keen to learn and improve this.
All the best, Dani
