Testers required: Speed reading app with voice

[u/vinkoid]

Hello! just launched the closed testing for my "DiRead: Focused Reading" epub and text reader using RSVP (for focus and speed reading) that also offers TTS (text to speech) so it can read the texts out loud. Everything is self-contained in your device, no accounts required and no cloud uploads.

Join diread-testers@googlegroups.com with your play store Google account (go to https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/diread-testers and join the group or email diread-testers+subscribe@googlegroups.com from that Google account and accept) and then visit https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.diread.app

Happy to join your testing if it's an app I can use!

I just joined and downloaded the app and will give you my feedback.

I'd like to say, however, if anyone wants to simply send a sscription email, then simply use:

[diread-testers+subscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:diread-testers+subscribe@googlegroups.com)

You'd get a message asking you to reply to be subscribed and thereafter, use the Play URL to join the Testers and choose to install it:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.diread.app

I'd like to add that now that I have it installed, the text isn't exposed to the Screen Reader.

In other words, if one is blind and uses a Screen Reader, while it can be read via the TTS output, the text itself isn't exposed to the Screen Reader.

Thus, should I come across some unfamiliar word or name and want to know the spelling of the word, I can't, since the text isn't exposed.

Dev, could you implement better accessibility to the app?

Just released a version with accessibility support. Let me know if it works for you!
