If you want to save an article, you can go to the share function of the browser or the other app and share to Note Player. You can then choose to share the link or the text of the website. The text will be retrieved from the shared link.

If you have text messages or notes that you can type this app is great to use. The scan shot and the download PDF is bad. If you have the time to type out you notes or anything you need read for you. This is a good app.

Nice work, been using this app for years.

This is a nice app but this app is using Google text to speech voices only But we are in need of inclusion of immersive reader which has come into existence recently and very much useful to the blind persons. It has several good and attractive voices. You can see in Microsoft edge. We will be thankful if u do so.
