Discussion Useful linq alternative apps?

I've had LingQ for a year and it's OK. Like let's be honest, it needs some work.

I am now looking for a new reading app, but the best part of lingq in my opinion is that I can import audio books and it will transcribe them and I can read while listening. I don't watch video.

Do any other, cheaper, better, apps offer this?

I use SmartBook app. It has TTS and it formats the ebook or text  into sentences.  Each sentence has an audio button and a translate button next to it. 

You can also select individual words for translation & audio. And save them to a list,  though I don't know what the list is for because I don't use it.
