Someone please help me build this:

**Text-to-Speech reader app for Android**

**Instant Playback**: Integrates seamlessly into Android’s share menu, enabling one-tap access to convert text from any source (web, PDFs, EPUBs) into spoken audio. Opens shared text immediately, using the device’s **local TTS engine** (no cloud dependency, using Sherpa TTS) to read content aloud while dynamically highlighting words for visual tracking.

**Queue Management**: “*Share to Queue*” option lets users compile a playlist of text snippets, articles, or documents for continuous listening. Prioritize, reorder, or remove items, with playback resuming automatically between entries.

**Podcast-Style Background Export**: Convert text to MP3 in the background, saving files to a user-designated folder for later listening in a podcast app. Ideal for commutes or offline use.

**Lightweight & Private**: No subscriptions, ads, or data mining. Processes all text locally, ensuring speed and privacy.

This is similar to this non-free app: https://hyperionics.com/atVoice/

Yes, what's needed is a companion app that loads the shared text and sends it to Sherpa for audio playback.
