Selection Reader (Text to Speech) vs iPlayText

A high-quality text-to-speech reader that can read large amounts of text with ease. Other text-to-speech extensions are bloated, slow, and frequently flaky—they can't read more than about 250 characters at a time without cutting out! Not to mention the dubious permissions they necessitate. Selection Reader is easy to use, fast, and can read a large amount of text at once. Simply select the text and right-click it!

This program reads out text pages and is totally free and available exclusively for iPhone or iPad (sorry). You may either paste text into the app directly or choose to use the Wikipedia button to search for Wikipedia articles that you'd rather listen to than read. Not every language has a wide range of voices, and it must be said that not all voices sound as pleasant or as natural as I would prefer, but this is just such an easy tool when you're driving your car, walking or running, waiting for a plane... The app also works offline, once the text is pasted in. It reads aloud in 27 languages, from Arabic to Turkish, including most European languages as well as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and more. Simple player controls let you jump back and forth, alter the speed, or repeat even when the device is locked. Only the iPhone and iPad Software Store has access to this app. For the time being, it is cost-free and ad-free. excellent for speed-reading webpages It's fun to read Wikipedia pages! I adore using the shuffle feature to discover new music to listen to while running.
