Best TTS reader I've found! I rarely write reviews, but this app does what I need it to do well it deserves extra attention. If you need audio to read along with screen text this app is for you. I use cere voices to change up the sound and make it sound more natural. You can train pronunciation, adjust speed, and it remembers your spot. I mostly use this to read old books that don't have audiobooks available.

Once you get the right voice, this app is a very nice read along companion that has no limits to what you can have read to you. It's quite a nice app. You can open up quite the number of settings including a pronunciation guide for the reader. The interface is a little complicated, but you can learn it rather quickly. One thing that I would really like fixed is that sometimes when a character stutters as in, "T-That's not true!" the reader will pronounce the "T" instead of blending it.

The best. My only suggestion would be better text formatting, perhaps? Ability to texts beginning with numbers to avoid having to listen to indices and footnotes being read aloud. And maybe a widget would be nice. No complaints, though. These are secondary suggestions.
