Google Text-to-speech is already enabled on many Android devices.

If this is not the case, go to: Settings> General management> Language and input> Voice output.

Select "Google Text-to-speech engine" as your preferred engine.

If the Google engine is not present then you first have to install the 'Google Text-to-Speech' app via google play.

This app is free, without ads and without in-app purchases.

Built with App Inventor from MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
