CLUSTER TEXT-SPEECH-CONVERTS · 74 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-02-09
Text-to-speech reading apps
This cluster consists of mobile and web applications that convert text sources such as PDFs, e-books, web pages, and documents into spoken audio using text-to-speech, often with features like word highlighting, offline playback, and customizable voices. Dated entries span from early 2012 to mid-2026, with a notable concentration in the 2024–2026 period. Traction leadership is held by audiobook-studio with 4 stars, while Voice Aloud Reader and AudioBooks Unlimited to Kindle have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
