About Speech Central
Your time is valuable. Don’t spend it in front of the screen addicted to the web. With Speech Central you can take the web on the go. Listen to the headlines from your favorite sites and select their linked articles to be read by using only the headphones or Bluetooth hands-free. For the first time feel the freedom without the need to prepare your text to speech session in advance. Listening to your favorite sites on the go will free you of most of your screen reading, but you’ll still receive some articles from other sources like email or social networks. But don’t worry there is a trick for that. Use the system built-in share function and import of a web link from most of the apps (including all web browsers) is just a tap away.
