Tell Me – Text To Speech

“Tell Me – Text To Speech” is an easy audio text converter for Android that converts words into audio – no ads or complicated AI features.

What You Get Right Out of the Gate

The app has a clean, material design layout with a focus on customizability. You can change volume, pitch, and speed using sliders so you can customize how you want your text to sound. The different voices are English, UK English and Jarvis. They give you a bit of a choice without overdoing it. The slide out menu saves preset text that can be used quickly. This is useful if you repeatedly use the same text.

Here’s where it becomes practical: Tell Me reads your text aloud in real-time. You can save the audio that was generated into files and set those recordings as your ringtones, notification and alarm sounds. No more fumbling through system settings. The app only requires limited permission to access storage for saving files and changing settings for ringtone. Tablet support offers a great user experience through proper scaling. With 500,000 downloads and a 4.6-star rating from 3,680 reviews, this «voice narration app» is for you.

The ad-free experience stands out immediately. People often say Tell Me is like an «offline text reader» that you have to pay for, primarily due to the absence of any interruptions. This app is an excellent «TTS engine Android» – it is very clear and quick without any pop-ups.

Where the Limitations Show

But what’s the catch? Compared to other leading text-to-speech tools in 2025, Tell Me is very elementary. Competitors such as Speaktor provide over 50 languages with human-like voices and tones. Narrator’s Voice 5,000+ voice special effects social media sharing. ElevenLabs offers AI voices with great emotional nuance and voice cloning. Tell Me, in contrast, does not support as much language as and have as many voices as premium options.

The app also lacks several modern conveniences.

– Can’t import EPUB or PDF documents in any file types.
– Generated audio lacks social media sharing functions.
– No voice cloning or emotional variation.
– The feature set is basic and lacks AI.

Google’s speech recognition and synthesis can support 80 plus languages. TTS Reader can handle 8 plus formats and allows offline bookmarks. Tell Me does not deal with these.

This multilingual voice app serves best

The ‘pitch control speech’ tool does not have massive functionality, but is useful. It is neither a free basic reader nor a professional one ‘voice reader software’. The reality? It is designed for Android users looking for accessibility features, learning a language, or consuming audio without technical complexity. If you need a simple solution with no frills, Tell Me is a good option as long as you don’t require a vast range of languages or AI tricks. The freemium pricing keeps core functionality accessible and delivers on its promise to be ad-free. However, do not expect the depth or innovation that premium alternatives pack into their feature sets.
