ReadAloud-Text to Speech Status

If the text you need to read is a hard copy, not a digital file, that’s no problem too: just photograph the page, and ReadAloud will scan and read the image.  Another popular application for this technology was Narrator’s Voice, which allowed users to brighten up their messages by having them read aloud by virtual voices.  If you don’t have a scanner, you can simply take a picture of the page with your phone’s camera, and ReadAloud will read it aloud for you!  ReadAloud is a simple but sophisticated app which can take any text of your choice: websites, emails, ebooks, PDFs, Word documents….  ReadAloud can handle almost any text, in a wide range of formats.  You can easily upload text in a number of common formats, including . txt, Rich Text Format, Word documents and PDFs.  Save money too- instead of paying $20 for an audiobook, or $15 for an Audible subscription, borrow ebooks from Hoopla or ZLibrary, or get free stories from Wattpad, iReader, or Goodreads, and convert them to audio.  The Browser page also includes a search bar to find the content of your choice, and will remember your search history so you can find that fascinating story when you want to listen again.  Alexa can be found on Amazon’s Echo smart speakers, while Siri is available on a range of Apple products, from iPads to Apple Watches.  Read Aloud will also read images of text.  TTS is a rapidly developing area of artificial intelligence which uses software to analyze text and convert it to human-sounding speech.  It can read aloud in 21 languages, from Arabic to Welsh.  The flipside of text-to-speech technology is audio-to-text (ATT), which takes audio files and converts them to documents.  The Browser can read any website you point it to, in one of the many supported languages.  ReadAloud uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology.  ReadAloud can also speak in different accents, such as Australian English or Mexican Spanish.
