Many text to speech programs have convenient upgrades, but it is not so convenient when it comes to cancelling these services. Read below to learn how to cancel a membership or subscription to the most common TTS apps.

    How to cancel TTS reader

    Text to speech (TTS) is a type of assistive technology that reads digital text out loud. This is sometimes called “read-aloud” technology. With the click of a button or the touch of a finger, TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and turn them into audio.

    TTS exposes contents like printed documents, articles, journals, reports, etc, to a larger population, such as those with reading difficulties, learning disabilities, visual impairments, and those learning languages. It also opens the door for others looking for easier ways to access digital content.

    Overview of available TTS readers

    Here are some of the most popular and recommended TTS Readers available:

    1. Google-Read-Aloud is the user agent for the Google Read Aloud service. This service allows reading web pages using text-to-speech (TTS). This service is activated when the end user activates TTS and visits the page.

      You can make Google Docs read the text to you aloud with the text-to-speech function. You should use the Google Chrome web browser, along with the ChromeVox extension, which will read the text of any webpage to you.

      To have pages read aloud to you, turn on your Chromebook’s built-in full screen reader:

      • At the bottom right, select the time. Or press Alt + Shift + s
      • Select Settings
      • At the bottom, select Advanced
      • In the “Accessibility” section, select Manage accessibility features
      • Under “Text-to-Speech,” turn on Enable ChromeVox (spoken feedback)
    2. Amazon Polly is a feature that converts text to lifelike speech, lets you build apps that speak, and build product categories that are fully speech-enabled. Polly’s Text-to-Speech (TTS) service uses advanced deep learning technology to synthesize natural-sounding human speech. If you are one of their subscribers, you will be able to try this.
    3. NaturalReader is a downloadable text-to-speech desktop app for personal use. This user-friendly software with a natural-sounding voice can read to you any text such as Microsoft Word files, web pages, PDF files, and E-mails, whether in light or dark mode. It’s available with a one-time payment for a perpetual license.
    4. The Murf TTS app offers a variety of 130+ AI voices in different accents and voice tones that you can choose from to create AI-generated speech for your videos and presentations, brand ads, e-learning, YouTube videos, articles, podcasts, IVR calls, and more.
    5. Speechify is the number one text to speech app and helps you convert any text to speech to help you improve retention and comprehension. The free plan lets you convert PDFs, images, text messages, etc.

      Within Speechify there is a feature called Text to speech, which allows users to upload content into the app from websites, internet images, documents, text files, or worksheet photos. Once the content is uploaded into the app, the text is read aloud. The words are highlighted so that the user can follow along at the same time.

      It is available on iOs devices like iPhones, iPad, or Mac, and also on Android devices. Simply head to the app store or Google Play Store to get the app today. Additionally, it works well on Chrome or Safari browsers.

    The TTS software makes it easy for users to enjoy the text in high-quality audio form as they wish. When you convert text to speech into WAV files, you will put this convenience first.

    The converter allows you to save the audio output on your Android smartphone, iPhone, or any other device you may use. You can use this playback to listen to your captions again or, for example, as a voiceover on a YouTube video.

    The app also uses optical character recognition technology to convert a physical book or printed text into audio. The app allows users to take photos of text and then listen to it via a voice-aloud reader.

    Then, you can adjust the listening speed to your liking. For example, if the document would normally take 9 hours to read, you can double your speed and finish the book in just 4.5 hours.

    Just scan a printed document and turn it into speech by following these simple steps:

    1. Open the Speechify app
    2. Select the “Camera” icon from the main screen
    3. Select the “Multi-Scan” option. This will allow you to scan multiple pages of the book you are working on.
    4. Use your device’s camera to position the words on the page, and Speechify will read them aloud.

    In conclusion, with Speechify, any book can be turned into an audiobook to listen to according to your wishes and preferences. You wouldn’t even need a bookmark anymore because it remembers where you left off. Try Speechify today at https://onboarding.speechify.com/.
