Speech Services by Google Android

The Google text-to-speech application

Smartphones and tablets have improved a lot in terms of accessibility and one of the applications that have contributed to this is Speech Services by Google APK. This is an application that lets the content of any other app be read aloud by phone. That is, once we download Speech Services by Google Android, any application that offers the option of reading its content aloud can be offered with audio and a natural reading voice.

It must be taken into account that many applications offer extensive contents that require our attention for a long time. It can be very useful in case we cannot pay adequate attention to the screen or because we are doing other things at the same time, for example, walking down the street. Think of applications such as eBooks, translators, or GPS navigators.
