The app serves as a
quasi-TTS tool
, which converts text based on your dictionary every time you use Google's text-to-speech service. In other words, TTSLexx prepares the text according to your
speech preferences
before running it in Speech Services. Packed with
tons of features
, it offers everything you need in one place.
Feature-rich
Unlike
@Voice Aloud Reader (TTS)
and
Narrator's Voice - TTS
, which are stand-alone speech synthesizer apps, TTSLexx operates alongside Speech Services. The program offers a platform where you can
create a dictionary
based on your language preferences and apply it to Google’s screen reader app, providing a
customized speech output
. It translates text according to your custom dictionary before it is processed to be read aloud.
The
built-in editor
is the heart of the app. Here, you can easily create a
TTS.lexx dictionary
in the app’s internal storage, which you can access through the notification, share function, or netttsengine’s very own
FastSet
. The editor
adapts changes
from the dictionary instantly and lets you see the difference with a simple swipe. Plus, it supports data
importation and exportation
for backup purposes.
Apart from the dictionary editing function, the tool enables you to
select and save
your favorite
reading voice
as well. Clearing periods at the end of sentences or abbreviations is a breeze thanks to the app’s
intuitive removal tool
. The app, however, misses the point of a good and effective user interface. With all the useful features it offers, some users find the bare interface quite disappointing.
Good enough
If you’ve been a longtime user of Speech Services, TTSLexx is a
straightforward and decent
app worth checking out. This TTS tool allows you to build a custom dictionary that can serve as the basis of the reader app’s speech output. With its user-friendly editor and various helpful tools, you can easily customize the way Speech Services read text. The simplistic interface, nonetheless, holds back the app’s full potential.
