For people that use pps like IE11 or Twitter, it means a great convenience and a feeling that app is always at the reach of the hand. The good thing is that you can really just share the web page (or tweet with a link), the app will detect language, and try to find the piece of the page that you actually want to hear. In nearly all cases it works without any problem.
Share to Speech is one of the best Windows 8 text to speech apps
The app has three sections in the interface: Users that don’t use Windows Store apps can use the Clipboard to paste the text or URL from the AppBar, which is not as convenient as the Share charm, but still convenient enough. There is even integration with File explorer to choose Share to Speech from Open with in context menu and Share to Speech can open Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and some other textual files as a new speech. Opening of those files is also available from the AppBar. The app is limited to Windows 8.1 text to speech engines, which do have very good quality, but for most languages (except US English) only female voices are available, so while you can set up your preferred voice gender in Options (including random gender), it might not have any effect. Still this is the best Windows 8 app in this category, and as it uses some of the Windows unique features it even has some edges over similar apps on other platforms.
