Speech Central AI Voice Reader

Want a feature-rich alternative to apps like Speechify, Voice Dream Reader, Voice Aloud Reader, or NaturalReader? Looking to avoid recurring subscription fees? With a free tier limited only by quantity (never by the quality of features) and a one-time Pro add-on, Speech Central is here to outshine the competition in everything related to TTS.

Why You’ll Love Speech Central:

- No Subscription for Premium: Enjoy the Pro tier with a single purchase. The free version limits only how many pieces of content you can add (not the app’s capabilities).

- State-of-the-Art PDF Reading: Unlike most text-to-speech apps, advanced AI in Speech Central removes footers, headers, footnotes, and long web links from PDFs, ensuring an uninterrupted reading flow. Even scanned PDFs can be turned into accessible text with built-in OCR. Perfect for academic research papers, scientific publications, and college textbooks.

- Best-in-Class Web & RSS Support: Listen to web articles and headlines without switching screens. Add content seamlessly from Chrome, your desktop browser (via Pocket extension), or use it for reading web novels and fanfic from a single page (on most websites).

- Microsoft Azure AI Voices: Experience natural and expressive voices powered by Microsoft’s cutting-edge speech engine.

- Broad Document & E-book Format Support: From PDF, DOCX, PPTX, ODT, ODP, HTML, TXT, RTF, EML, EPUB, DAISY, to FB2 formats.

- Built-In Knowledge & Text Annotation Tools: Annotate while you listen. Keep track of highlights and notes, then export them in DOCX format.

- Extensive Customization: Fine-tune your reading experience—adjust speed, voice, pitch, appearance options, and more.

- Hands-Free Control: Personalize audio-button functions for maximum productivity and accessibility. Navigate or change speeds easily while the text is read aloud.

- Automatic Language Detection: Speech Central supports dozens of languages with TTS installed on your device, intelligently detecting content language for all major languages.

- Audio File Export: Turn any text into an audio file for convenient on-the-go listening.

- Accessible to All: Thoroughly tested for use by legally blind users and designed to help people with visual impairments or reading difficulties like dyslexia.

- High Security & Privacy Standards: No ads, no spyware, minimal permissions. Only anonymous crash data is collected.
