At first I tried a very nice AI program that spoke the text wonderfully.

The description said nothing about only working for the first 30 minutes.

 
The web site link in the Play Store page points to a squatter or
placeholder web site.  You won't get any more info on that app than what
the Play Store app page tells you.  "In-app purchases" are listed for
that app, so you get something more by paying for it.  You'd have to
install the app, and trigger it to show an in-app purchase, to have it
take you to wherever the author has their pricing list, and maybe also
lists restrictions, or quotas.  The app showed up at the Play Store 5
months ago.

You're right that there is something very fishy about that app, which I
apologize that I accidentally listed it instead of the one I had meant.

That "Listen AI" doesn't even work on my phone, so I'm sorry I listed it.
I tried Speechify but it failed also. I don't remember the error messages.

This is the app that did a wonderful job and which said "try for free" but
which turned out to only do that wonderful job for 30 minutes only. :<

I am still testing this T2S app which has a built-in web browser and which
will save the audio file for reuse later on, but it says it will have ads.

Thank you for looking at the other app. We both agree it's garbage.
