Google Text-to-Speech: A versatile tool for transforming text into spoken words
Overview
Google Text-to-Speech is a well-designed application that converts written text into spoken words. It's a handy tool for making text more accessible to users who may prefer or need an auditory approach to content. Whether it's for reading out your favorite book, delivering the news, or aiding in language learning, this application serves a wide range of needs.
Language Support
One of the major strengths of Google Text-to-Speech is its support for multiple languages. However, users have reported issues with some languages, such as Hindi and Burmese. It seems that these languages aren't fully supported or are experiencing bugs. This may limit the app's usability for speakers of these languages, and we hope that Google will address these issues in future updates.
Functionality and Use
The application is intuitive and easy to use, with options to adjust the speed and pitch of the spoken text to cater to user preferences. However, it appears it does not support text-to-speech conversion for text within images, which limits its functionality to some extent.
Offline Availability
Another point raised by users is the lack of offline support for some languages. This could pose a challenge for those who wish to use the app without an active internet connection. While many of the languages are available offline, it would enhance the user experience if this feature were extended to all supported languages.
