Google Text-to-Speech powers applications to read the text on your screen aloud. For example, it can be used by:
• Google Play Books to 'Read Aloud' your favourite book
• Google Translate to speak translations aloud so that you can hear the pronunciation of a word
• TalkBack and accessibility applications for spoken feedback across your device
• …and many other applications in Play Store
To use Google Text-to-Speech on your Android device, go to Settings
> Language & Input > Text-to-Speech output. Select Google
Text-to-Speech Engine as your preferred engine. Note, on many Android
devices, Google Text-to-Speech is already turned on, but you can update
to the latest version here.
