Although I look forward to a more natural reading voice in the future, right now, this is about one of the only ways to get text to speech in most websites that contain text. Also works with a lot of apps. It is "mostly-reliable" and I have to count it as outstanding considering the many complexities involved.

Could you add a notification bar button to rewind the speech back a little? It's unpractical to constantly alt+tab and randomly try to guess where to click on the ambiguous slider. Also the app pretty much lacks configuration, but it successfully handled my requirement of "not making random pauses between paragraphs when the pdf improperly separates lines", unlike other TTS apps that did this wrong. Needless to say, a good TTS app should give users both options :)

Edit: The mentioned flaw has been resolved. Thank you for getting back to me promptly. 5 stars! // Good app. The only flaw is the inability to choose the tts engine and voice that is installed on the phone. The app seems to use the same voice no matter what option I choose. Please add the option to at least use the system selected engine and voice.

Hello Peter, are you using TTS engine set to the "system default", or "English" locale? Could you please contact support@urbandroid.org and give us more details?
