Unlike some other options on the list, it supports many document formats, so it’s as simple as importing and listening. Natural Reader promises on delivering audio back in a natural-sounding voice which it seems to have down. A wide array of options for voice, pitch, and rate do exist, and the best part is they’re all unlocked with the free download so there aren’t any in-app purchases. That being said, I’ve seen results by copying and pasting text from PDFs. No ebooks, PDFs, docs, or other forms of documents are accepted. Therefore, you must keep your device unlocked while using the app which can burn some serious battery.Īlso, the app only supports text. Though I must say, a major con is that when the display locks, the app stops playing back voice. Nonetheless, if you can get over the robotic voice, it is a great app for playing back transcripts.

Many apps, that include text reading (and other features) are available. You may prefer to use an app for reading text back, for example if you want to use a different voice, if you find it hard to control Speak Selection, or if you need additional reading support. If you expand the controller bar and press on the finger icon, you can tap or drag anywhere on the screen to hear the content under your finger. Speech Controller (switch on under Accessibility > Spoken Content) allows quick access to Speak Screen and negates the need for the two finger flick down from the top of the screen. If you have a case that extends over the edge of the display, you may have to take the case off to get your fingers close enough to the edge for the two finger flick. Use a two-fingered flick down from the top of the screen.
It can be a little tricky to get started.
the Kindle app, Speak Screen will automatically move on to the next screen and carry on reading until you press the Stop Button. Note that it doesn't highlight each word as it is spoken. Speak Screen is particularly useful as a tool for reading eBooks and long paragraphs of text.
