Description

TTS+ Plugin is an enhanced Text-To-Speech plugin for FBReader for Android, the popular free eBook reader created by geometerplus. The plugin module created by Hyperionics and offered here has several enhancements over the original TTS Plugin created by FBReader author.

IMPORTANT: You need Text-To-Speech engine and voices installed on your device to use this app. If you don't have one yet, pickup from Play Store - the good quality TTS engines there are Acapela, Ivona and SVOX. You may use more than one if you want.

* Bluetooth play/pause and previous/next controls are handled correctly
* Plays in the background and Bluetooth controls are still handled, allowing you for example to use Navigation software on your phone while driving somewhere and listening to your book at the same time, and pausing/resuming playback as needed.
* Android 4.2 and higher - lock screen widget to pause/resume, next/previous sentence, view book title and progress. This widget can be also used on the home screen under older versions of Android.
* Read by sentences - the plugin pauses and resumes at individual sentences, instead of entire paragraphs. Upon resume, you don't have to listen from the beginning of a long paragraph again.
* Enhanced control panel to set book language, open system TTS Settings to change speech engine, control speech rate, pitch and volume, more...
* The control panel can be minimized to display only a row of small buttons at the bottom over the main FBReader screen, if you want to watch the text it reads at the same time.
* Sleep timer
* Can highlight individual sentences instead of full paragraphs, but this requires a small code change in the main FBReader code.
* Try also our new product, @Voice Aloud Reader!

ABOUT PERMISSIONS: In ver. 1.5.7 added WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, needed for TTS activation on some devices.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★inconsistent. works great for a couple of months then refuses to read... it dieing now - second time this year.
4 ★It works fine. But the feature of pausing the TSS voice on the lock screen doesn't work with the android 6.0.1... It was a very useful feature, I really miss it...
2 ★I use this on my oppo A37 and it randomly stops reading. It gets really annoying to keep on opening my phone just to make it start again especially when I'm on the go. I hope you can fix it. I'll change the rating if I see an improvement.
2 ★I love this reader, BUT it's overpriced!! I have large family there number one complaint is pricing In Playstore and won't buy good apps.I've recommend this app for years to my 48 nieces and nephews 9 bros & sis, 130+ cousins and to work colleagues etc i could go on and on. it crashed randomly plz add function to ignore system events.
4 ★Perfect, lets you edit a word or punctuation omission or replacement list to avoid annoying readouts of "backwards quote" or "open quote" etc in text files. Buggy though in that it doesn't remember where it left off and doesn't stay in sync with fbreader bookmarks.
1 ★This was not working at all for some time for my environment. It now almost copes. Problem: the place in fbreader proper is not updated to reside where the tts stops, such that it can resume from the correct point. Each time fbreader starts up, it returns to the point at which tts last BEGAN, not where tts last ended. I'm having to manually seek forward to where ivona was last stopped.
2 ★Had some wired optimization, that cause issue with tts other than google. The sample was fine but the real one pause each character in chinese.
4 ★Since the last update it's not been functioning well: keeps breaking and stopping! Please fix this. Thanks
1 ★It doesn't work on mine. I tried resetting the app and stuff but still doesn't work and it disappear every few seconds. Really disappointed.
1 ★With the latest "improvement" the app doesn't even open. Shows a crash report pop-up every time
3 ★If you have this (rate App )say no!
3 ★Please fix the bug (selected Cantonese but auto switch to Mandarin nextrun). There were no issue long time ago but come up and gone in newerversions. Now the issue persists.
