Speak turns your words into clear, natural speech. Many of Speak's users have lost their ability to speak, often after surgery, and Speak helps give them a voice again. It's also great for practising pronunciation, or just having fun with voices.
Features
• Lots of voices: Choose from every voice installed on your device, including Enhanced, Premium and Personal Voice. Search by language, name or region, and preview any voice with one tap.
• Fine-tune the sound: Adjust volume, pitch and rate, and repeat a phrase as many times as you need.
• Favourites: Save the phrases you use most and reorder them however you like.
• History: Every phrase you speak is saved, so you can speak it again or share it. You can also export your history as a CSV file.
• Share audio recordings: Turn any phrase into an audio file and share it anywhere.
• Make it yours: Light or Dark appearance, a high-contrast text field, and options for how Speak behaves when you type, speak and clear.
• Picks up where you left off: Optionally restore your text, voice, pitch, rate and repeat count when you open the app.
• Keeps talking in the background: Speech keeps playing while your device is locked or you're using another app.
• Louder with Bluetooth: Connect a Bluetooth speaker or headphones to make your voice heard even further.
• Works everywhere: No internet connection needed. Supports VoiceOver and iPad multitasking.
Quick Tip: If a word doesn't sound quite right, try spelling it phonetically.
Speak is free with ads. You can remove them with a single in-app purchase in Settings to support development.

Before I was using Google Translate to make it read my text out loud when I need to check how something sound in english. It was working but you have to be online and sometimes the page reload and you loose what you typed. This app is more simple for that, I just type and it talks, no internet needed which is nice. The voice quality is about same level honestly, maybe little bit better because you can change the speed. One thing that bother me is some buttons are really small and I miss them on first tap.. my fingers are not tiny lol. Also after I leave the app and come back it goes to the main screen again not where I was. Is ok overall for what I need it to do, just wish those small things was fixed
Recent Update Made Things Worse

I really really love this app. 1. It’s free. 2. I can handle really long pieces of text. 3. It sounds good and you can adjust speed and pitch. 4. It used to play in the background. But! after this recent update it doesn’t. Which means if I want to listen to my long pieces of text not only do I have to stay on the app while it plays but I have to change my settings so that my screen doesn’t fall asleep while it’s playing or I’ll have to restart. Also on my old device it played through fine but since using the app on my newer model phone it does something where it plays through the first several sentences and then plays the same sentences over and over until it stops completely. Or if it encounters a weird character it just stops completely. I love this app when it does what I need it to, but lately getting it to work is too complicated.
Absolutely Wonderful

I have Attention Deficit Disorder Primarily Inattentive type and cannot focus long enough some days to read paragraphs upon paragraphs of text without zoning out. However, even in this worst case scenario, I can usually focus enough to listen to audio. This app has already been a lifesaver and I’ve only had it about a week. The other, lower-quality, TTS apps could learn a thing or two from this app. The ads are there, but they don’t impact the quality of the app itself because they’re out of the way while advertising, and there’s no subscription. I recommend speak.
Wonderful Text-to-Speech App

This app is GREAT!!! I had surgery in my throat earlier this year and was unable to speak for two weeks--this app immensely helped me get through that time. I found the adjustable aspects extremely creative as well as entertaining. You can change the pitch and speed of the voice, and you can choose from a huge list of various accents! I'm glad I found this app, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs something like it. Not being able to speak if a very trying experience, and having this app to help out as well as add some entertainment value into your life is very nice :)
