- Android readers who want private, offline narration
- Worth noticing
- The page says its optional 110 MB Kokoro voice pack includes 28 English voices and can prepare narration while the phone charges.
Field notes
The page describes importing personal files or opening them directly from another app, rather than browsing a supplied catalog. It says narration can be prepared in advance while the phone charges, and separates work documents from the story library; the Play Store listing is not yet available according to the page.
