Speak

Voice used for speaking

AndBible uses the Text to Speech functionality of your device to speak the text of the Bible, commentaries and books. The quality and listenability of these voices varies greatly and is not something we control. Most devices allow you to choose a different voice and modify pitch and speed. You can also install 3rd party Text-to-Speech engines which may be superior to the default voices.

The way in which you change the voice differs between devices. Try searching in Settings for Text-to-Speech > Preferred engine > Install voice data.
