Evie - The eVoice book reader users say on Google Play
!!! Dev told me how to do this, as promised, I've updated to five stars. 💜 This would get five stars if the custom pronunciation had "whole word only" and "match case" options. I use it for a lot of work that was originally in Chinese and to get it to say "ge" ("big brother") properly without breaking other words I had to enter about six or eight different variations. And correcting the name "He Wei" causes issues for the phrase "the weight," which comes up more than you realize.
I used to use eleven reader up until they ruined it. I downloaded this to replace it. so far, I have downloaded 2 stories as pdfs, and I have had minimal problems. the voices are a little bit robotic, but it's not unbearable, and after a while of listening, I don't notice. there are short glitches here and there with the audio, but it's not terrible, and I can still understand what it is saying. Plus, it doesn't happen very often. I haven't been asked to pay anything, and ads aren't a problem
Although it's very easy to navigate, this app seems a bit misleading. You say Evie is free, but the app says I need to pay to use Evie's voice. I appreciate going ad-free and having no permissions required. I get the other voices such as Azure you have no control over, but I wouldn't mind some ads to support the app and have Evie be free.
Best tts on the appstore Edit: coming back two years later and I've got nothing but praises for the developer. Consistent support from the developer, great quality of life features, amazing experience all around. I'm shocked this app is still free. I recommend this as much as I can. Edit: as of 2025, the app no longer works. It will not display any text. I've tried to reach out to the developer with no response. I'm disappointed. I used to use this app for hours every day. Money wasted.
I would have just use Amazon's services instead. what a waste!
