Mar 24, 2019  There are only two voice (Jorge and Monica) in Word, Jorge is default one. If you type Read Aloud in what do you want box, you will know how to change it. Because you are using MAC, I suggest you using voice from macOS which give you more customization. Please do following steps to change voice. On the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Natural Reader is a free text to speech tool that can be used in a couple of ways. The first option is to load documents into its library and have them read aloud from there.

Get Read PDF Aloud with Text to Speech Android Apps

After testing many apps I found two apps which stand out among all. One of these two apps is a paid app and other is free.

Mac
  1. ezPDF – paid app
  2. @Voice Aloud Reader-Read Aloud – free app

Note:
Before you install any of these two apps, make sure that you have installed a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. Don’t confuse between Text-to-Speech (TTS) engines and Text to Speech Android apps. TTS engine enables apps (Text to Speech Android apps) to read the text on your screen aloud. Many companies offer TTS engines including Google. I prefer Google Text-to-speech engine to install on my android. Other popular TTS engines are Acapela, IVONA etc.

#1 ezPDF

It offers a lot of advanced features, which are really useful and user friendly. The interface of the app is not only feature rich but it also looks awesome. This app is a combination of good features, stability and clean-smooth interface. These things make this Text to Speech Android app a complete package.

Key Features:

  • Supports real book style page flip
  • Supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) – Narrates pdf files for you
  • Can play, pause, stop, forward and reverse narration
  • Multiple language support as it’s uses Text-to-Speech engine services
  • Clean and easy user interface (design)
  • Stability of current version is satisfactory as there is very rare “force close”
  • Can bookmark pages in pdf – so that you can easily resume reading
  • Annotation support (highlight, underline, strike-out etc. – so you can mark the important text)
  • Of course there are no ads as it’s a paid app
  • Many settings for page views, voice settings, day mode, night reading mode etc.
  • 15 days free trial is enough to make your mind to buy this awesome app

Other Text to Speech Android apps which can narrate pdf for you. But compared to above two apps these are not very much pleasant in terms of functionality and stability.

– Pdf Max Free – PDF Reader!
– NaturalReader Text to Speech
– Voxdox – Text To Speech Pro
– Pdf to Speech Pro
– PdfSpeaker

I like ezPDF the most because of its functionality, stability and interface. Though it’s a paid app but paying a little for such a useful app, is certainly worthy. And you can try it for 15 days for absolutely free.
