The page describes speech voices running on the phone, with playback continuing when the screen is off and controls available from the lock screen or headphones. It lists a 64-bit Android 8-or-newer requirement and says narration needs about 1 GB of free memory. Brazilian Portuguese is explicitly beta, and the app is being distributed through a closed Google Play test.
