    Not that i'm aware of.

    You can try using @voicereader app for android. You can customize how to reads out words to an extent. It comes in handy when it starts reading $ as "dollar sign" among other annoying symbols that get verbalized

    I recommend you to copy and paste chunks of text into google translate and use the 'Read-Aloud' function.

    Of course the tone of the voice is monotonous but you'll probably get used to it if you really want to read a story.
    Plus, it saves you the hassle to look for them. Just pick the text any novel you wish to read from here or anywhere else.

    Thanks for the tips but sorry I'll have to force myself to stop using computers and smartphones even a second after a few days so cant copy paste. I'll look around the library and bookstores.

    You can find some free audio books at librivox.org
    They're not as good as audible, but its better than text to speech or something.

    A tip from me, don't use eye drops when you got dry eyes. It will worsen it. Even if the doctor told you. Just take a rest as much as you can. Dont put anything to your eye. Let it heal by itself.

    Hello. A simple update from me. So I went to my eye doctor again and said my dry eye syndrome is a lifetime problem. I can still use computers and gadgets but have to reduce screen time so that it won't worsen. He also explained that most professionals who work on computers also have the same case even my own doctor has dry eyes.

    But because of this experience, my interest on reading online novels is totally gone. I'm into audio books and western paper novels now. Can't really read online now because my eyes hate the led screen.

    If you don't want to be like me, please rest your eyes every 30mins if you are using your gadgets, drink a lot of water, sleep 8hrs daily and use blue light blocking glasses. I'm trying herbal medicines now and see if I can still cure this eye problem.

    Thank you all for the support. Bye for now
