    It best you just read it yourself. Trust me on this, it's like listening to a song where all the tunes and music are mixed up into a pile of chunks.

    Tts for android i tried
    1. Google tts : literally sucks. Voice quality so low that even after expanding the spectrum via viper4android it still hurt to listen on headphones.
    2. Ivona tts: Amy rocks! But ... There are lack of features due to lack of updates and there are many cases of exception like sun. Will be pronounced Sunday.
    3. Vocalizer tts : just downloaded... Using trual voices for now... Even though voice quality is low.. i downloaded plus version of voice and uswd spectrum extension...
    Bam!!!
    Super awesome tts. I only tried English(India).

    If you all have more recommendations tell me..

    Especially for pc!
    Thanks

    I don't think they'll feel the same after reading it. Well not like how we feel from reading it.
    I prefer reading audio books that real people read it to you. I mean TTS is just bad for your health. It's worse than listening to new immigrants reading a books to you. I know the feeling since I was once a new immigrant in US.

    I've just tried BlueStacks for PC. It simulate an Android device on your PC. I've downloaded Moon + Reader Pro and I read on it with the TTS. I'm no expert but It works.
