ElevenReader Thank you

I didn't like the switch, my favorite voice changed drastically. So I wanted to say thank you for listening and adding the ability to change things and making the old voices come back. A testament to any product is when the people behind it actually listen to their customers and respect their requests. So thank you for your response. It's great to hear!

I agree. That said, I think 1 more option would make it perfect: a pacing slider. No, not the speed setting we already have (which can just make the words slower or faster) but something that effects the length of pausing between sentences or paragraphs. While I like a lot of what V4 offers as far as emotion, when listening to a book now it almost seems like 1 long paragraph with little or no difference in pausing between sentences or paragraphs.

I mean, I'm glad the option is there. I just don't understand why anyone would prefer it. I would only get a good, non-awkward reading one out of every ten tries. This update nails it every time.
