The purpose of this thread is to help you with the delegation of reading to your digital assistant - very rarely used Text To Speech feature.

I personally, found 2 cases to use this feature.

Case #1. If you enjoy reading books on your smartphone while doing something else this might be helpful.

Turn your regular ebook into an audiobook with fewer efforts.

Requirements:
- A better alternative to Pico TTS (Google TTS is good)
- A better alternative to built-in EBook Reader (PocketBook reader, Prestigio eReader)

Once you have all these in place, change your default TTS engine, open up your ebook in your brand new reader app and look for the corresponding app.


Case #2. If your preferences are beyond just ebooks and you want to read, let's say, news in your browser follow these instructions:
1. Go to your place store, search for Google Accessibility Suite and install it.
2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility > Select to Speak and turn it on.
3. Follow its instructions and you're done.


Congratulation! Now you ready to get audio information straight from the text.
