Evie - The eVoice book reader

Evie is a book reader that uses Text To Speech (TTS) to transform written text into an audible narration.

Evie integrates with the excellent Amazon Polly Text To Speech engine. Polly is a cloud service that uses advanced deep learning technologies to synthesize speech that sounds like a human voice.

Evie can also use any TTS engine installed on your phone.
