Does a Flexible Text-To-Speech App Exist for the Nexus 7?

[alazose]

I have yet to find a workable and flexible text-to-speech app for my N7. I?d like something that will read ebooks, pdf?s, and Word documents with no hassle. Right now, all that seems to be available on the Google Play Store is software that will read a short pasted or typed selection into a small box. Anyone know of anything more sophisticated than that?

to use text to speech on apps, each developer has to implement it on their apps.

you cant just install an alternative text to speech engine on the device and expect it to read out the contents.

thats not how TTS works on Android(or other OS's). maybe in future Google build the feature into Android making it more open..

you COULD use one of the many eReader apps with all of those files types, altho some readers will need the .DOC files converted.

try one like CoolReader, MoonReader, etc that has the capability to read the formats you are most concerned with and then also get a conversion program like Hamster to transfer those that need it.
