Hey Thanks, I guess I wasn't clear,  using the text to speech engine. How could you develop an application instead of reading what you type in a text box but rather read aloud from a desired text file. IE PDF or word doc etc.

I got the idea from the first example in the video tutorial  from MIT App inventor, the talk to me app example.

Can You have a text block that reads an actual text file from your phone or tablet?

Thanks
