Thanks, Betty! Me too.
I know that Windows phone has TTS capability, but I don't know how good it is, or if you can access it by opening a book in your book reader as you can with Moon+ Reader & Ivona. Actually, with Moon+ Reader, you can use any TTS such as Google or SVOX.
Possibly BAD news for Ivona fans. I just read that Ivona was acquired by Amazon for their Kindle Fire. Smart move, but will they continue to make it available for Android? Right now, Ivona Android is in time-limited beta, so if Amazon decides to hog the technology for Kindle, they need do nothing but not renew the beta and it will stop working on thousands (millions?) of phones.
Ivona really seems to be on to something that the other TTS guys are not. I sure hope Amazon does not squash the further development of such an important technology.
Perhaps this should be another thread.
