Though it sounds like AI, it's good enough to stay focused and sound like an actual person reading to you.

Great app and service. Great AI-enhanced voices, integrations etc. Still a lot of work, if perfection is sought. Some sentences are skipped, some truncated, at times paragraph is skipped but then proceed. Likely problems relate to multi-column text and images. I would like to see bullet points to be read where I can distinguish bullet point (numbered) from text within: perhaps by numbering being read by another 'voice'.
