Why Speech Central?
Every app has its strengths and weaknesses, but when it comes to the overall feature set, Speech Central stands out as the clear leader.
To back this up, we compared over 100 features across the three most advanced text-to-speech apps available. See how Speech Central measures up for yourself.
Speech Central has no subscription. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited use. Free access is available for blind users and managed school environments.
With over 80 settings and customization options, no other voice reader app offers the level of personalization that Speech Central does.
Each day at least some improvement is being made. Through the years, thousands of features have shipped in hundreds of releases—and development continues.
Speech Central doesn’t collect any data on user activity. Even anonymous activity data is not collected.
Speech Central covers more platforms than any other app: iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows.
Speech Central is free for blind users who use VoiceOver or TalkBack, and free when deployed as a managed app in schools.

Best 8 buck I’ve ever spent. Homework readings are cut in half with reading 2x speed. Wish I knew this my freshman year
Finally a decent app that doesn’t require me to pay stupid amounts of $$ for an annual subscription just so I can listen to text at a non slow motion pace.
The best Text-to-Speech App on Playstore. Can be used offline and offers different languages with different accents. Pitch and reading speed can be adjusted, and the Read Fast button can be customized.
