## Description

Scan to Speech turns printed text into speech. Point your camera at a page, a sign, a label or a menu, and the app reads it out loud.<br><br>Made for anyone who would rather listen than read:<br>• Low vision — enlarge nothing, just listen<br>• Dyslexia and reading fatigue — follow along line by line<br>• Language learners — hear how the text actually sounds<br>• Hands busy — listen to a document while you do something else<br><br>WHAT IT DOES<br>• Scan printed text with the camera or from a photo in your gallery<br>• Recognises Latin, Chinese, Japanese and Korean script<br>• Reads the text aloud, line by line, with repeat and loop<br>• Adjust speaking speed and pitch to suit you<br>• Type or paste text in directly when there is nothing to scan<br>• Keeps a history of everything you have scanned<br>• Playback continues in the background<br><br>Speech uses the text-to-speech voices already installed on your device, so the languages available depend on your device settings.
