Description
You'll love Speech Central because it has both the best feature set among text-to-speech apps and the best pricing among high quality voice reader apps on the Store. To no surprise it is the most popular choice among the Mac users in this category. Here are just some of our outstanding features:
◦ The best PDF support in text to speech apps - your reading flow will not be interrupted by footers, headers, footnotes and long web links as they are detected by the advanced artificial intelligence in most cases. No other app has this feature. Even the scanned PDF documents are imported.
◦ The best web support in text to speech apps - for the first time you can listen everything as both articles and headlines (including RSS feeds) are supported. Articles can be added from the headlines page for fully uninterrupted flow. And you can send articles from any browser with the Pocket extension.
◦ The widest support for documents/office and e-book formats.
◦ Knowledge and text annotation tools built-in.
◦ The widest choice of options to customize the voice, appearance and various other parameters
◦ Export the text with annotations to .docx format
◦ Sync playlist across Apple devices including with the iOS app and the current position in the text.
◦ The widest selection of keyboard shortcuts to control the speed and browse the text that is read aloud.
◦ The app can be used with dozens of languages that have text-to-speech support on the device with automatic language detection from the content.
◦ Export the text to the audio file.
◦ The app is tested to be accessible by legally blind users.
◦ Your data stays truly private, we collect only analytics data with no identifiable reference to the user or imported content. Even when the syncing is enabled.
