Thanks for promoting TTS. I’ve listened to many books, fiction and non-, on Android using Google TTS and it felt like half-baked masa cakes; good enough to eat, but even better once fully cooked. One of the ebook readers I used (available on F-Droid, included pitch change) allowed for custom spellings of strings, though “sat” being read as “Saturday”, and “Dr” as “drive”, were difficult to fix so I relied on context. On iOS I’m happy to learn about Speech Options from a child comment.
