Hi, I’m very enthusiastic about open-source software, and recently I downloaded TextAloud but, realized that I can only get a free-trial before needing to purchase it. Source: over 1 year ago
I can answer question 1. To read downloaded fanfiction, or any other pdf/epub, you need a reader app. I personaly use the free version of ReadEra because it's the best I've found in terms of range of file formats, general functionality, and ease of use. I like it enough that I plan to spring the $10 for the paid version eventually. Source: 12 months ago
