Description of App
From the App Store:
Kova is a platform that lets you create and discover audiobooks with a single prompt.
Kova is built for flexibility. With one prompt, you can generate a 5-hour audiobook from your documents or chosen websites, or enter any niche topic and have Kova pull the latest information from the web.
Whether you’re creating a detailed audiobook or escaping into a fictional dystopia set in 2045, Kova gives you the tools to personalize voices, style, and chapter structure. Plus, you can follow friends and see what they're listening to or creating. Unleash your storytelling potential with Kova.
If you choose to purchase Pro, payment will be charged to your Apple account, and you account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions and auto-renewal may be managed by going to Apple Account Settings after purchase. Privacy policy: https://kova.ai/privacy Terms of Service: https://kova.ai/terms

Kova is usable with VoiceOver, but the experience is bumpier than a New York highway in mid-winter.
You will absolutely need automatic text recognition for this one. When browsing books in your feed, the titles are written on the book covers. Your feed will be a string of unlabeled images. That being said, VO will almost always pick out the text on each cover, so browsing is possible. With iOS automatic image descriptions active, you can get a very generic feel for each cover as well, i.e "A person holding a sword and posing for a photo".
All buttons are labeled, but a few are confusing, so I'll explain. Sometimes, there are buttons that say "Go up" or "Go down". These act as Collapse and Expand buttons respectively. For example, the secret instructions field can be collapsed or expanded by these buttons. The last element of your home feed will be the first letter of whatever first name you're using. That button will show your credit total, profile, and settings.
In the audiobook player itself, the counterclockwise direction arrow is a play button. Also, the background music toggle does not indicate whether it is on or off, so if you want music and don't have it, click the music icon or the "background music" text immediately after it.
