About this app

eSpeak NG Text-to-Speech reads anything you give it, in over 100
languages, instantly and offline.

▸ READ ANY ARTICLE
The built-in Reader speaks any text you paste in or share from
another app. News articles, emails, ebook excerpts, web pages,
notes — share to eSpeak NG and listen.
- Lock-screen and notification controls: Play, Pause, Resume,
Skip Back, Skip Forward, Stop.
- Save what you hear as a WAV audio file and share to any app.
- Font size slider, Light and Dark theme.
- Adjust speed, pitch, and choose any installed voice on the fly.

▸ SYSTEM TEXT-TO-SPEECH ENGINE
Set eSpeak NG as your Android TTS engine and every app that uses
TTS — TalkBack, ebook readers, learning apps, navigation, your
own custom apps — can speak through it. Customise:
- Speech rate (words per minute).
- Pitch and pitch range.
- Volume.
- Voice variants (male, female, whisper, klatt, and more).
- Punctuation level: silent, some, or all.

▸ 100+ LANGUAGES AND ACCENTS
English (US, UK, Caribbean, Scottish, Welsh), Spanish (Spain,
Latin America), Portuguese (Portugal, Brazil), Mandarin,
Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil,
Telugu, Marathi, Urdu, Russian, French, German, Italian,
Indonesian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Greek, Czech,
Hungarian, Romanian, Swahili, Zulu, and many more.

▸ COMPACT AND OFFLINE
eSpeak NG uses formant synthesis instead of pre-recorded speech,
so the engine and all 100+ voices fit in a small download. No
internet connection required. Low CPU and battery use. Speech is
clear at very high reading speeds — popular with screen-reader
users who read fast.

▸ ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN
TalkBack-friendly throughout. The Reader works one-handed with
notification controls and large touch targets. Native default
output is set up automatically on first launch.

▸ OPEN SOURCE
The eSpeak NG engine is licensed under GPLv3+ by Jonathan
Duddington and the eSpeak NG community. The Android port is
derived from the Google eyes-free project under Apache 2.0.
Additional Android modifications by RedZoc Solutions Private
Limited, also under Apache 2.0.

I think it's unknown emojis by the TTS engine.

I was looking for an opensource and secure app, even happy to pay to maintain the app and I was recommended this app. I uninstall it immediately due to privacy concerns, absolutely rammed with third party data sharing including IP address and device information.

Hello Team, I am a visually impaired user and I regularly use the eSpeak NG TTS engine. I would like to report an issue related to Google Keyboard voice typing. Whenever eSpeak NG TTS is active, Google Gboard voice typing does not work properly. The microphone either does not respond or voice input fails completely. However, when I switch to another TTS engine, voice typing starts working normally again. This issue creates difficulties especially for blind users, because we rely on both scree
