Text to speech feature for the pre-pub reader
-
Hey,
Is it possible to add text to speech to the pre-pub reader? I am some who likes listening to books while doing chores. This feature will be really useful for it. Using the accessibility feature in android to read text is too restrictive. So please consider adding it to the pre-pub reader. -
@peter-crenshaw I use Text to Speech on my iPhone all the time with JNC prepubs, via "Speak Screen" (swiping two fingers down from the top edge of the screen, and it flips the pages automatically). It also works on the website on mobile when I'm on Chrome. As for Androids or desktop, sorry I am unfamiliar on how to do those.

@legitpancake Thanks for the idea. Android has something similar called speak selected text. It's a different accessibility feature, it doesn't completely change the way I interact with my phone.
It has some drawbacks too, it doesn't work with the screen turned off.
It works well as a stop gap measure for now but a proper text-to-speech option would be awesome.
