OMG 🤣 def not gonna wanna wait half a year...

Would love to try the text to speech but I don't know how to make that work. You are the grapheneos expert... It seems that much of what's available on Android is not automatically on graphene. Like I can't even speech to text text messages. (I get voice input is unavailable right now when I try) And I don't see any functions in the text to speech pdf file of yours.

On zapstore you can get Sherpa, that's a text to speech engine, and voca, that's a reader app that uses the engine. Voca is very early development so its not yet great. There is @voice app too, but that's closed source and you need to install Aurora Store to get it.

The TTS PDF is just a regular PDF but without page numbers and page titles so it makes listening better.

Thanks for sharing these. I downloaded both on the zapstore but I don't seem to be able to locate Voca. Or is it integrated into Sherpa once downloaded? How do I utilize them to have your tts read?

In Sherpa you can download en_GB-alba-medium that's a decent quality and fast model.

Not sure why you don't see voca in zapstore, you can get it here directly.

Thank you. I had found it in zapstore but when I downloaded it (I did twice) I could not find it amongst my apps in my phone. But this worked. This would be a dream if this works. I have been dreaming of tts for so long. But now that I have loaded your book nothing happens when I press play. Is that what you meant by is not great yet?

Do you have Sherpa installed and configured as TTS engine in the OS?

😭😭😭

I also just installed aurora store. Which of the voice apps do you recommend? Is it Voice Access from Google LLC?

"@Voice" is the name of the app, it works with SherpaTTS engine.
