It seems kind of insane how hard it’s been to find a good TTS app. I have TTS Util and that’s worked sporadically but if I get it to start it will stop in the middle of reading. I can’t even seem to find a basic app to let me paste in text and have it read.
Any recommendations? I’m mostly trying to have web articles read aloud and I don’t care about robotic voices that much.
SherpaTTS, available on F-Droid, and usable as default text to speech, system wide.
On Firefox browser I use this extension to read pages https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/android/addon/read-aloud/
Love sherpa, I use it a lot, however I am not sure this is what they wanted. I think they wanted an application that can reliably invoke the TTS engine?
If I copy and paste into Sherpa it seems to do a good job. It’s maybe one or two extra steps than I’d like but it’s the best solution so far.
