In short
Acapela TTS Voices is a free Android speech app developed by Acapela Group S.A. This app is recommended for friends. This is a good app to reduce pauses.
Highlights
Works great with Google play books
I will recommend this to all my friends to purchase this Acapela TTS
This is by far the best affordable text to speech app I've ever seen
Highly recommend this app guys it has very good quality voices
Thanks for options for reducing pauses on punctuations
This is a superior replacement to SVOX classic
I've been using the Tracy voice for about 3 months now and I love it
It has authentic inflection and voice dynamics
As it allows easy and reliable communication during those times
Truly a great verity of voices in many different languages
I set it up correctly but it won't work in Google maps
Can't even try to buy a voice without a crash
This app will not read web pages although it is supposed to
Not even Android versions
No sense to use this tts
However doesn't load right or work at all on my Kyocera Hydro Icon
Have sent several crash reports to support no resolution so far
Crashed over and over then found out everything charges
Mobile version is stupid
The Scottish one is terrible
Description
******** Warning ******** Since the latest Google applications update most of the Google applications (Google maps and Google now for example) don't care anymore about the TTS settings and use only their own Google TTS voices. So please note that for the moment we cannot guarantee compatibility for these applications as this is a unilateral decision from Google. To keep using our voices in a Navigation GPS application we suggest to use the "Navigator"or Sygic application or any other Google Speech API compatible application. ******** Important Note ******** The application is free, so you can try all of our voices in an online mode, but then you need to buy at least one voice within the application to be able to use the voices (offline) with TTS compatible application (In-app Billing - EUR 3.99/voices et EUR 11.99/kids Premium voices) ******** Description ******** Acapela TTS allows you to buy and install our high quality voices and integrate them in your Android Device to use them with the system or any TTS compatible applications (such Google TalkBack, some GPS Applications, Translator applications, ebook reader, news reader ...)
