About this app

******** Description ********
Acapela TTS allows you to buy and install our high quality voices and integrate them in your Android Device to use them with the system or any TTS compatible applications (such Accessibility application, some GPS Applications, Translator applications, ebook reader, news reader ...)

The application is free, so you can try all of our voices in an online mode, but then you need to buy at least one voice within the application to be able to use the voices (offline) with TTS compatible application (In-app Billing - EUR 3.99/voices et EUR 11.99/kids Premium voices)

******** Important note ********
Since the latest Google applications update most of the Google applications (maps for example) don't care anymore about the TTS settings and use only their own Google TTS voices.
So please note that for the moment we cannot guarantee compatibility for these applications as this is a unilateral decision from Google.

Ratings and reviews

They say that this is free but you need to buy the voices to actually use it. It's $4 or $12 per voice depending and the majority of voices are robotic children's voices. I downloaded this to replace my phones built-in TTS engine, which it technically does do that, but you have to pay if you want to use it. I'm deleting this and I'll find something else that works for my needs. I already have free apps that'll convert tts, I just wanted a speech engine for my phone that sounded more human.

Reinstalling all voices on a new phone was automatic. Worked very well contrary to some other competitors. Good choice of voices too. They could only rework the UI to make it more modern and ergonomic, but since this is a TTS engine to be used by other apps in Android, you see those screens once, and then never again. I use it together with eReader Perstigio to read books, and it's great.

Couldn't get past bugginess right away. Had high hopes but couldn't preview a single voice. Checked everything (volume settings, conflicting apps using the audio channel, tried all the troubleshooting I could) but it just wouldn't work. I understand needing to buy a voice to use it for anything else, but previewing was totally silent so can't buy. Generally awkward interface and experience overall (plus it shouldn't need contacts permissions, not pleased with that). Gave up and uninstalled.
