Best app to listen to Reddit? (self.Blind)
submitted by Tintin_Quarentino
Since many of you might be using them, thought I'd ask you good folks. I'm not blind, but it would be nice if I could listen to the OP text & comments in long threads (like r/AskReddit or r/AskScience) instead of say listening to podcasts/books. For Android please.

Just as a point of information, I don't think we're any more likely as a group to listen to Reddit just because we're blind.
Sure, we use screen reading software for the most part, but by that logic you'd be asking how to listen to your emails - you clearly mean something different.
A bit like the presumption that we only do audiobooks (which, I grant is harder to defend given their popularity within the blind community), I do wish people would try not to leap to a conclusion based on faulty premises.

>you clearly mean something different.
Basically i was hoping to find a dedicated reddit reader app, not Talk Back nor generic reader apps like Voice Aloud. But judging from the responses in here, turns out there is no dedicated reader app for reddit.
Anyway noted your jumping to conclusion point & sorry if I offended you.

:) Oh not offended, just ... interested, I suppose. people assume we can't do lots of things, or we do lots of things differently. So I just wanted to highlight that really.
Have you youtubed askreddit? There's loads on there.
None of them remotely approach the 730 words per minute I read reddit at, of course. 😆

I will firstly say that I'm not on Android. Reddit for Fun is good and I'm assuming it would work with Speak Screen or Select to Speak (not sure what the specific feature is called)

Yeah there's Talk Back on Android, but i was hoping for a dedicated Reddit reader app... Turns out there's none.

Here are two apps that will assist you with text on your Android device. Both links will take you directly to each app in the play store.

Thank you, will check these out, sad that there's no dedicated reddit specific read aloud app.

What are you asking, seems kind of strange. You could learn to be proficient at a screen reader.
Tintin_Quarentino [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Yes I suppose that's the best way.
TechnicalPragmatist 1 points 1y ago
Yes. Just don’t use it to deceive or trick people and you’ll be fine. Hahaha!
Tintin_Quarentino [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Haha not at all, I would just like to use it so that I can give me eyes rest. Otherwise work requires me to stare at screens all day anyway. So just like using audiobooks, audio Reddit would be better for the health of my eyes.
TechnicalPragmatist 1 points 1y ago
Then great learning it may help you quite a bit.

Thanks man will check it out.
bradley22 1 points 1y ago
No problem.
bradley22 1 points 1y ago
There's also some reddit podcasts, I don't know there names though.
bradley22 1 points 1y ago
Unfortunetly that doesn't exist, there are youtubers who read reddit stuff on youtube though, if you type in r/ then the reddit name in youtube you'll find them.
unfortunetly r/askreddit is mostly read by the daniel voice, it's ok but it's not a human voice.
