SVOX US English Grace Voice (v. 3.1.0) Разработано SVOX Mobile Voices |
Did you know that your mobile can speak US English?
Have Grace read aloud texts from your e-book, navigation, translation and other apps in a US English female, high quality and natural-sounding voice powered by SVOX.
When combined with TTS-enabled apps, Grace can:
- give directions, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road while you're driving
- read a notification containing the caller / sender's name, and read the content of an incoming call / sms / mms / email
- read aloud your favorite e-books or pdf documents
- help you learn English by reading aloud the correct pronunciation
and much more… the possibilities are limitless!
Browse http://svoxmobilevoices.wordpress.com for a list of compatible apps and voice demos.
NEW! Pronunciation correction feature: correct the default output according to your preferences!

[2011-12-12] Mark: Doesn't change to her voice on g2x |
|
[2011-12-11] Chris: Better voice than PICO but... the volume is really low. Media volume and SVOX settings volume all the way up. Cannot hear over road noise. Way too quiet. Droid X 2.3. |
|
[2011-12-10] Doug: Very good app I wish there were a lot more American voices. |
|
[2011-12-08] Paul : One of the most realistic and reasonably priced A.I. voice to date! |
|
[2011-12-07] sevenwords: Grrr Keeps un-installing on motorola droid bionic. Please fix. |
|
[2011-12-07] cincyreds: Best U.S. English voice hands down. Newest version also has the incredibly unique feature of allowing you to fix any mispronounced words with your own custom pronunciations. I've tried pretty much every TTS app available and I still think this is the best voice going and SVOX is still the best TTS system overall. |
|
[2011-12-05] Syam: Failed to install Can anyone help me? Paid for Grace but failed to install. It states no internet connection or try later but I'm running on wifi. Galaxy S2. |
|
[2011-12-05] Prime: Awesome! Better than the original one! But it doesn't sound like the example they give you before purchasing! |
|
[2011-12-04] Daxon: Better than pico. I bought this because I bought voice actions plus. Its better than pico that comes on most phone today. Grace has an attitude on VA plus though, huh? |
|
[2011-12-02] graham: Grace Once again great she sounds great thanks Graham Steel |
|
[2011-11-25] Rayos: App is Not bad, pretty decent voice. Much better than default. |
|
[2011-11-23] Jason: Crashes After update would work. Instant crash. |
|
[2011-11-21] Brian.Northrup: Not completely natural but FAR better than the default pico voice! $3 is a bit much for it, but made my gf happy not having to hear pico on our trip |
|
[2011-11-17] michael: Love it. |
|
[2011-11-17] ReggieD: Pretty darn good |
|
[2011-11-17] Antjuan: Real Good Nice app |
|
[2011-11-16] the 11/16/2011 Way much better proudly pay |
|
[2011-11-16] dante: Developer you are the best. Best TTS Voice App for 2011 and beyond. IPhone users I know u guys want this App! Great Work Developer! Haters step off. |
|
[2011-11-16] Chris: Still not quite right Some words still sound very unnatural, hard to understand. Way better than stock voice, but that's because it's so aweful. |
|
[2011-11-15] Fosdick: Bad SVOX TTS engine v.3.0 This release of version 3.0 makes all my purchased voices sound crappy, clipped, truncated and staccato. I'm sure it's not with a particular voice because I have purchased three voices and they were all OK but have now all become bad using this new version 3.0. Please fix ASAP!!! (Update on Nov 15, 2011) The new release 3.01 sounds better now (and thus one more star). Please apply the update changes to Mandarin and all other voices. |
|
[2011-11-13] KT: IVONA is most certainly NOT better. Some reviews claim that IVONA TSS sounds better than SVOX. "Better" is subjective, but "bigger" is not. An individual SVOX voice file like US English Grace is about 20 MB. An individual voice file for IVONA -- let's use its Kendra US English as an example -- is... 250 MB!!? IVONA voice files are over ten times bigger than SVOX files. It gets worse: IVONA voice files cannot be installed in or moved to SD card. SVOX voice files automatically installed to SD card. So, which is better? |
|
[2011-11-09] derekmski: Sounds really good Much better than stock voice, perfect for the gps navigation!! Download speed is painfully slow on WiFi. |
|
[2011-11-06] Matthew: Pretty good. This really makes Google navigation so much better. Sensation 4G. |
|
[2011-11-05] JV: Good but Works good but since upgrade grace keeps having to reinstall! Developer has not responded to email! |
|
[2011-11-04] Nicy: Worst Upgrade ever Used to work great before the upgrade. Now all voices crash when running them. USELESS. |

|
[2011-10-24] John M.: much better than stock the stock android voice is so outdated it's embarrassing. Grace gives android a TTS voice worthy of it's technical advances |

|
[2011-10-23] Terry: I love me some Grace, Much better than stock for all apps that utilizes Googles stock pico voice. EVO 3D |
|
[2011-10-22] Bryan Chance: Sounds almost like a real voice! Grace voice sounds great. It's way better than the stock android voice. Perfet with AutomateIt nd Ezpdf reader and Google navigation. Highly recommend |
|
[2011-10-21] David: Where is my software. You and Google better put it back or compensate us all or there is going to be legal action. Stealing is illigal!!!! |
|
[2011-10-20] charlie: Great Better than pico voice. Worth the buy |
|
[2011-10-20] Grady: Very useful. Works. No issues on Samsung Captivate on 2.2. Now I can understand what Google Navigate is saying to me. |
|
[2011-10-19] Paul: Well done! Grace sounds much better than stock voice. Well worth the price. I hope development continues to fix some of the pronunciation errors. |
|

|
[2011-10-17] Thomas: Latest Update Poor quality sound file in the latest release. High frequency harmonics always get clipped, so there is distortion even at low volume. |
|
[2011-10-17] Bryan: Crackling Distortion on my G2! Even rebooted after installing but still get obsessive clipping from Grace. Money paid, Please fix ASAP! |
|
[2011-10-17] Dave: Updated Version Just got an update for the bionic and the speech quality is much better, the clipping is gone. |

|
[2011-10-16] joe: The best sounding voice to replace the stock robot. |
|
[2011-10-15] Anonymous: Much better than Pico Pico is completely awful. This voice is so much better. Honestly, this voice is on par with the voices that come with garmin or Magellan GPS's. |
|
[2011-10-14] Ulises: Does not work for me I installed it and set it as my default tts engine, but when I try to use the example it cuts off in the middle of the sentence. |
|
[2011-10-14] Daniduo: Nice |
|
[2011-10-06] Diana: Rip off! Just a plain type and hear it talk. I'm wanting something that READS my emails and such. With this you have to purchase more apps. |

|
[2011-08-12] Murdo: Excellent. Works well. Don't need to tell us about happens though. |

[2011-07-22] Anthony: Doesn't work with gingerbread (2.34). Thanks a lot for keeping silent on that. the developers sold out to Nuance so don't expect any improvements |
|
[2011-07-17] Phillip: Works well on Droid X. Sounds SO much better than the stock Google Navigation voice! |
|
[2011-07-12] Dimitris: Works great on Galaxy SII! very natural sounding and beautiful voice:) best english android voice ive heard so far! |
|
[2011-07-01] Marcus: Should be more clear that 2.1 users will get little to no use. Wish I knew how to get a refund. Doesn't work with google maps. I wasted hours and $! |
|
[2011-06-28] Myron: Very natural-sounding, not metallic, like the standard voice. Reminds me of the Palm Pre navigation voice. Made the transition to Android even easier. |
|
[2011-06-25] David: Can't seem to get her working no matter what configuration I try, the fem voice however is quite alluring. Samsung Galaxy S |
|
[2011-06-23] Garrick: Good at english but terrible at spanish, a critical language for pronouncing southern california streets. |
|
[2011-06-23] Jerry: Excellent voice! My favorite! EVO |
|
[2011-06-21] kerry: Would be nice to read kindle book with |

[2011-05-29] Ian: Better than pico, but still not that great. |

[2011-05-12] Sergiu: Poor voice rendition for ebooks |
|
[2011-05-10] Joshua: Pico is an old bag - way past her prime. But Grace... ah, sweet Grace - I'd totally date her. |
|
[2011-05-10] C: Would not download... Sorted out with Website FAQs |
|
[2011-05-06] beliving: Works great with apps by ed kawas for callers, texts, calendar events and emails. Super for navigation, too. I set volume to 160% in tts settings. |
|
[2011-05-05] parnell: Hated google nav because of the tin voice. With this voice prompts are smooth like a Garmin. Those saying they don't hear difference didnt setup right |
|
[2011-04-27] Steve: Nice Voice, but... pronounces Knott as "kinut". Dev hasn't responded in a month. Knight, knott, knowledge, knowing, knack, knee, knit. I can't think of any english words that start with "kn" where the "k" isn't supposed to be silent. |
|
[2011-04-26] Jeff: I love this app! Much better than stock voice. Grace is very clear and easy to understand. Well worth the $3 spent. |
|
[2011-04-24] Chuck: Actual voice isn't as good as the demo but is much better than the stock voice. Definitely worth the $2.99 |
|
[2011-04-24] Zachary: Works great! Samsung Galaxy S Captivate running 2.2 |
|
[2011-04-22] Rick: After its setup right it sounds a 100 times better then stock. Dont give it 1 star because u don't know how to set it up. Dark lord is funny |
|
[2011-04-17] Joe: Having the same problem can't download or refund. |
|
[2011-04-13] Justin: works great on samsung captivate! running firefly 2.7 |
|
[2011-04-04] Paul: Works great! Epic 4G rooted, running Bonzai Rom. |
|
[2011-03-24] Scott: Demo sounds great but in actual use it sounds muddled and soft. Can't hear navigation directions switched back to DX Pico std |
|
[2011-03-15] Swinefeaster: Works awesome together with CueBrain for practicing my vocabulary! |
|
[2011-03-15] T: Huge improvement over the pre-installed voice. |
|
[2011-02-13] Jeff: Great voice..but useless for ebbok reading. A bug in their tts engine skips paragraph markers and puts the the word dot there instead. Hyphen prblm 2 |
|
[2011-02-13] Tomasz: Its doesn't work on galaxy s Doesn't work on bookreader s too |
