AI website and ebook read out loud with smart voice control. AI Read Aloud Text To Speech is not only a website text to speech (text to speech - TTS - read out loud) reader app, but also an ePub text to speech (TTS) reader, PDF text to speech (TTS) reader and text file TTS reader (ebook read aloud). Listening is better than reading in some cases, that is the reason why we create AI Read Aloud Text To Speech (TTS) app. The most impressive feature of this app is voice control. You can say: "Open" to open the link why the app is reading the webpage, or "Pause" to stop reading, or 'Continue' to continue reading after time's up.... and a lot more voice commands. We don't want you to touch! just relax and hear the app reads the website, ePub, PDF, text files.... and sometimes say the command : Features: - Use Apple Text to Speech (TTS) engine to read aloud ebook (ePub, PDF, text files and documents...) and website. - Smart language detection: app can detect the language of the document correctly by using our AI engine and read aloud without any human action! - Support all languages on the world and a lot tones for each languages! - A lot tones to select for reading. - Easy to manage history, bookmark... and resume what you have read before after re-open the app. Everything is controllable, and the best user experience. - AI voice control: just use some simple voice commands to open link, pause, continue reading, back to previous page.... while listening and you don't need to touch the phone. - Paste or type to read aloud the text. - Skipped sentences: there are some (a lot) sentences that you don't want the app to read aloud (even app is really smart to auto skip reading them :) ), so just add those sentences to skipped list to skip reading. - Dark mode, customize font, auto brightness. - The best user experience (UX) text to speech read aloud ebook and website app. Thank you and enjoy!
