Text to Speech App

GeckoFriend · 04-19-2026, 08:18 AM

I'm looking for a simple text to speech app that has realistic sounding voices. No need for "celebrity" voices. I only need the app to read epubs, not every type of document in the world.

I've tried several apps but most are too complicated and expensive.

The one feature I need is for the app to skip to a new chapter or selection.

Readest? Any app that uses iOS text to speech should do the trick as well (maple read or cantook).
