Tell Me - Text To Speech

thanks for your work ! this "simple" app does the job of reading any text, using the Google text to speech engine. I gave you 4 stars, but i will come back and make it 5 if you add options for controlling the playback (pause, start from somewhere in the middle of the text, ...). good job anyway.

Pretty basic, but just enough. I like that it isn't complicated. A slight issue might be the way pasting a huge chunk of text for the app to read will make it a bit weird to scroll up and down, and if you stop the reading you can't go back to where you left off without deleting anything before that. But I don't really care, I just need something to process written text better.

Hi - semiverbal teenager here. This app is really good, and I mean that. It does exactly as you think it would, functions as intended. No ads, so that's a major plus. I like the fact you can save certain words or sentences for the future, makes it much quicker to say short stuff like "hi" cause all you have to do is have it saved and you can tap on it in the saved area which will play out the speech and it's shdjfnsbdhf it's awesome dude, 10/10 app, definitely recommend :>

This app is perfect for deaf people or folks that can't produce speech. HOWEVER: 1 )) some words or names can't be pronounced properly, so I want to store those words with the phonetic value. I've seen Playstore apps that do this, but they don't have a handy preset text list. 2 )) I want preset text to have their own titles, but fall back to show preset content as title if no input given as title. 3 )) Cool bonus if you can "program" sentences, e.g. telling the time, good morning/noon/eve.

I really like this app! Since I don't really like speaking (and sometimes it's hard for me to talk) this app helps a lot! I really like how I can set up the speed of the voice, so I could adjust it to be slower if I need it to be :-] I would love it if there was a feature where you could change the language (because English is not my first language and the pronunciation of words that aren't English sound very weird) but overall, I give this app 5 stars <3

Works very well and has a very clear voice! However, there are 2 issues anyone who needs this should be aware of: 1. Once you hit "read," you cannot stop. Exiting the program and erasing the text does nothing. So if you type out the entirety of "All-Star" like I did, you have to sit through the audio until it finishes. 2. It does not seem to work on phone calls. I origionally downloaded it to be able to speak in an emergency call, but when tested you can only hear clicking on the other line.

Considering it's a freebie it's pretty good. It'd be excellent if I could put different length pauses in the text and if could change it's intonation if I put text in quotation, or question marks etc. I have found very few words it cannot deal with. I use text to voice a lot, in various projects, and this is my go to app for that. 5 stars and it would get 4 if it cost money!

Tonsillectomy communication I tried a few different apps to communicate after I got my tonsils out, and this was my favorite. It's very simple and easy to use, but still offers options for different voices, pitches, and speeds. I also really like the saved phrases tab. You can write in your most commonly used phrases for easy access.

Quality build, very simple interface plus zero ads. You can install an infinite voices which is part of the actual phone settings. Change pitch, speed, and volume level. Once your project is complete, you can save it or share it. Saves as a .wav file which is easy to work with or convert to another format with a third party app. The app does not ask for payment or have nag screens or trials, you can donate to the development if you choose. Fantastic simple app that works without flaw. Thanks

Really nice app - i'm a semiverbal autistic person so having an app I can use to communicate that runs smoothly & doesn't have ads is really important. my one suggestion would be a way to pause stop speech once it's started; I have poor motor skills, so if I make a typo or my autocorrect does something wrong, I have to sit through the entirety of what I've typed before I can correct it. other than that, great app - would definitely recommend!

I do not understand why some other text to speech apps have higher average scores. They were overly complicated and had way too many ads. This app, you just type or paste some text in and it'll read. I use it for reading articles. I read some of the 1 star reviews here, and it's all people complaining about features it never claimed to have. Dont expect anything fancy. Dont use it as a word processor because it won't autosave. This app reads aloud what is pasted into it, nothing more.

Recently just lost my voice. Having four kids and a hub that require constant attention this has helped immensely. Its adjustable in pitch, tone, and volume and clear enough to hear easily over phone calls. Would give it a perfect 10 if I could. Pay day I intend on donating, this dev DESERVES it!! No ads, no BS just a straight up good app

Absolutely love this app! I just had a Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy done yesterday. I can not talk at all. This app is quick and easy to use. I can adjust the speech easily. It articulates very well. There are no ads! So, I never have to worry about getting something across to someone and accidentally pushing on an ad that would lead me else where. I can go through a conversation with ease thankfully with this app. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you to the developer for your labor of love!

my daughter used this app to communicate when she was on complete vocal rest. It was SO helpful!! i would LOVE it if you could develop an app that could take speech or text and audibly translate it CORRECTLY into another language. (i.e. Central American Spanish.) So many translator apps are incorrect in how the translation comes out, it is confusing to the folks listening to it.

Great reader. Simple and accurate and a very light program. No intrusive ads which is really nice. It works, plain and simple. I've been using the program for a very long time through many devices. In fact, if the developers read the text I put into the app to be read, they know me better than anyone should! :)

The best simple 'say what you type' app I could find. I lost my voice to a throat injury, and this app has made things so much easier for me. I like being able to use a keyboard, and not having to touch my phone. Here's how: * type what to say * [tab] x 2, then [space] --> it says it. * [shift]+[tab], then [space] clears it. * [shift]+[tab] again and you're ready to type again It would be nice if you guys added a shortcut key for speak, and clear, for all us voiceless keyboard users.

Only complaints is that the voice isn't too clear sometimes. Maybe add different voices too? There's not really an option for a masculine voice even with the pitch all the way down, it sounds more like distortion. It runs smooth though and works well as a text to speech app for my nonverbal autistic self.

Exactly what I needed. I lost my voice and needed a easy way to communicate with my young children. This app helped so much. I especially loved the speech speed function, slowing down helped be understood more. Easy to use, no annoying pop up ads, simple. Highly recommend.

I've been enjoying the app. It has been very helpful for me while the doctor has me on voice rest. I do however, wish that the in app volume was independent from my devices volume. There are times when I forget that my phone's volume is all the way down and I try to use the app, no sound comes out.

I developed complications post-COVID and was told by my physician to not speak after I developed problems eating solid food and was hoarse for two months. This is a good free app with no ads. It does have some problems with clearly saying contractions but otherwise is great.

Fantastic! It alowed me to communicate with my kids when I lost my voice. At 6, 6 and 4, the older ones can read a little but not easily enough for me to just write everything down. Honestly, this saved my sanity. Only issue we had was the accent. We're australian, so the kids had a hard time figuring out some of the words in the US accent. I just had to adjust the spelling to try getting it to sound right.

This is an amazing app! I used it to communicate while I lost my voice, and it worked perfectly. I love the clear function; it is very convenient for quick, short messages. The voice is between robotic and human, and even has a little sass to it. It even minds punctuation!

Its an amazing app! The only thing is that I feel there needs to be a save button so we can have many speeches saved. I made a speech and lost it when I closed the app. I believe that tabs to save speeches would be great! You did a wonderful job making the app. I know I can count on you to improve this wonderful app! Edit: to be honest, I'm new to the app, so if there is a save button that I missed please tell me!😅

Amazing! It does everything expected and more! Are the back arrows supposed to take a user back to the front page? The accents and colors are fun to play with, and the speed and pitch work well. Also, this is a good resource for learning an accent.
