Scan Speak: OCR & TTS Reader

Tom-Soft

About this app

ScanSpeak is built primarily for reading books: it quickly turns text from books, documents, notes, and printouts into a format that's easy to read and listen to.

Scan a page with an advanced OCR scanner, import text directly from a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, or paste it from the clipboard—then save it locally and pick up your book exactly where you left off, whenever you want. ScanSpeak is the perfect companion for reading books, studying, reviewing notes, and hands-free listening—wherever you are.


Key Features:
📷 Scanning & OCR: Accurate text recognition from scanned book pages and images.
📄 Import Files: Bring in text straight from PDF, DOCX, and TXT files, or paste it from the clipboard.
💾 Local Storage (Offline): Your scanned content is securely saved directly on your device.
🎧 Read Aloud (TTS): Listen to your books comfortably using Android's native text-to-speech engine.
🔖 Resume Reading: The app remembers your last position so you can pick up your book exactly where you left off.
🔊 Export to Audio: Turn any saved book or text into an audio file you can listen to anywhere, even offline.

What’s new

This update improves the app's stability and performance.
Reading no longer switches to an English voice on its own: if your device has no voice for the language you picked, ScanSpeak tells you instead of reading in the wrong one.
We keep working on making ScanSpeak better — thanks for your feedback.
