Text to speech in Reader

I bought a Boox Page just so I could use Pleco on an ereader that’s easy for the eyes. I’ve been using Pleco on iOS this entire time to read stories in Chinese or listen to the natural-sounding text-to-speech, and the eyestrain of looking at a LED screen for hours is just too much.

I hope it’s just me and not because the Pleco reader on Android is not as good as iOS. When I use tts in the reader on Android, the dictionary window can’t be closed so it blocks a lot of text. There is no option to close the window or select reading speed like there is in the reader in iOS. I also can’t use the tts voice I purchased (Qiang). Is that iOS-only? And the reading speed seems to be set at a slower 70%. I use 100% or 104% reading speed in iOS for natural-sounding speech.

I can add screenshots if needed. Help please because I bought an ereader just to be able to use the tts so I can listen and read and select definitions.

You can adjust the speed and hide the bubble while playing by long pressing the 'megaphone' icon - that should show up a popup menu that lets you configure both of those things.

As far as why Qiang is missing, did you copy over the Registration ID from the Pleco "Registration" screen on your iOS device? If so, is it listed under 'purchased but not downloaded' in the "Add-ons" screen?
