Text-to-speech technology first originated in the 1950s. Today, it is accessible on almost every electronic device. Users can turn on text-to-speech on their phone settings, making Android text-to-speech a great feature for those with reading impairments, or simply for those who prefer listening to text rather than reading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"speech<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Android text-to-speech is available on most Google devices just as Siri voice text-to-speech is available on Apple iPhones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text-to-speech software<\/a> on Android devices isn\u2019t automatically enabled, and the user has to manually enable it to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use Android text-to-speech, follow these steps on your phone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Scroll down to Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap Select to Speak<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t see this option, it may be in the installed services<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select Allow<\/strong> to enable the feature. The enablement screen may vary from phone to phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Go to an app or a web browser that you want to be read out loud. You will see a red stop button appear at the bottom of the screen. On some phones, a speech bubble may appear on the side of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Select the text you want to be read out loud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Press the play button to listen to the speech.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
