For a platform that focuses on "reading", I believe having TTS is essential help for people with slower reading comprehension (me), as well as for those with disabilities related to sight. This is currently a feature most commonly enjoyed in book reading apps, which makes me want to compile my own EPUBs just to get my app to speak the stories for me.
I really hope Qidian gets this feature soon! I'm sure it'll attract a lot of readers (or listeners, in this case).
This would be very very good
even though I have to pay for it I still want it.
Thumbs up!
allenguarnes I use my phone's native TTS feature (called Talk Back) to read novels to me, especially when I'm driving/working. The Talk-back feature is actually an accessibility option to help the blind use the phone. The sad part is, though, that you can't turn off the phone screen (and must be wary of anything touching the phone screen when it is being read).
But yes, I would love to have a TTS feature for Webnovel. That does sound awesome! I fully support it!
Nou You're right. Mine has one too! But it's sadly just too much of a hassle to use. I prefer having TTS working on the background for times like when I'm driving for example. Makes traffic a lot more enjoyable.
That's a nice feature to have. Good suggestion.
I want this just so I can close my eyes while enjoying my favorite novels. My eyes are pretty much dying out of novel addiction.
and my eyes started to blur because of reading too much
Would pay if someone actually read them out and provided a high fidelity playlist.
Machine speech is acceptable but takes some of the joy out of it.
How much would you pay for a service like that?
Ether per chapter or an unlimited access subscription per novel.
+1 been looking for this for a long long time!
Or we request our favorite youtuber-who-reads-books-and-uploads-them-as-audios and get them into the CN novel craze too?
RustySwordImmortal Wow best news I've seen in a while! Thanks for sharing this to us! :)
Little_White True, but I read and listen at the same time. My reading comprehension is lacking, but having it read to me while I myself read makes comprehending the story a lot easier.
+1 I could listen to the novels discretly when I am in a meeting ! :D
kulmai Reading about face slapping and arrogant young masters while in a meeting...
I suddenly want this.
now~ now~... No one going to listen to the meeting's important point anymore if everyone were like us. hahaha
As someone who works at home I really enjoy the chrome extension speakit (version that is no longer available). Not only can i be updated with the novel i'm following, I can even work at the same time.
TTS would be very hard, given most english TTS features can't properly pronounce the chinese words that are used in these novels.
