Android Reddit voice reader alternatives (self.Blind)
submitted by mlo24210
Hi everyone. Please delete if post is not within guidelines. I'm not blind, btw.
I used this app on my Android phone that continuously read Reddit threads. It was great, hilarious even. However after the marshmallow update, the app is broken. Are there any other android alternatives? I really miss this simple app and windows OS is not an option as the app is mostly used during downtime and commute.
My workaround is tedious: i go to Reddit mobile to the desired post and then save it as pdf and then send it to "@voice" app.
The Reddit voice app was called Auri.
Thanks for any help!

The best advice I can offer is Talkback which comes installed on Android devices. I doubt it will do quite what you want though. Unfortunately Android is quite lacking when it comes to screen reading.

Isn't VoiceDreamReader available on android these days? If so, it's integrated with pocket and instapaper and those sorts of services, so perhaps that would make your workflow less irritating: save threads to pocket, then open VoiceDreamReader and have it read the stuff you saved previously. But...I don't think VoiceDreamReader is developed by the same developer on Android as it is on IOS. So are the features exactly the same? No idea; I only use IOS.
