I recommend this app for all busy people looking forward to reading lot of texts in a fast manner. This app reads through web pages, word documents and pdf files. It is a handy tool that I found easy to use and time saving. Moreover, you can have your text converted to mp3.

the cleanest best software to text to speech hands down, the desktop v is even better and it costs the same as others are charging per month, get it before they change their pricing
