Android basics
Our third app category is Text to Speech engines, which determine the voice that your phone uses. We demonstrate ESpeak which is available in several variants from the Play Store including this one, Acapella TTS Voices and Vocalizer TTS. We also mention the voices from Cereproc Text to Speech, which you need to install as separate apps – one app per voice. We also give honourable mentions to Flite, as well as to Ivona and Voxygen which are no longer available on the Play Store, but which we will post to the Telegram group so be sure to join!
