Ratings and reviews

I've been looking for something like this, oddly enough, I wasn’t having much luck. All I found were apps that were too specific/couldn't read from 3rd party apps, or apps I had to pay for. Then, I came across this little beauty. It's simple & efficient. Good work. Thanks. I've ONE complaint. The read out of highlighted text will randomly stop when played from the context menu but, reads fine if typed (copy/paste, in this case) into the app itself. Aside from that, I've had no problems at all.

This has to be the best app utilizing text to speech right behind Shouter. Anything that I can see on my phone screen that I want to have read out loud to me can be initiated by just tapping the share button- and up pops the Start button for your Assistant voice to begin the narration! The only major annoyance is that all information on the page is spoken ( technical references, etc.).

This is my favorite text to speech app but since i updated my Android to version 9, the app no longer highlights the text that it is reading and doesn't follow along down the paragraphs to show the place its reading. Hopefully they can fix and update these little bugs for Android 9/P. Also it would be great if it could export large files of texts to audio, like whole articles. Please update! Been using regularly for more than 2 yrs. Easiest TTS app on play store.
