Play Wikipedia articles with Text-to-Speech (TTS) using this music player-like app in virtually any language. Listen to any topic from sushi making to computer engineering all while driving around town or walking to class. It's also a great Wikipedia reader on both phones and tablets on top of its audio features! The more you use it, the more power features you’ll discover.
Want to learn about multiple topics? You can use the new Play Queue feature!
Playing in the background while you're driving, randomizing article play queues, skipping articles, building your own Play Queues, reading in virtually every language your phone supports; it's all supported as well as being a great Wikipedia reader on both phones and tablets! You can even tell Wiki Lecturer to ignore wiki sections (ie 'References') and links that you don't want to listen to.
Any language with Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice data should work with Wiki Lecturer; for instance selecting German will make Wiki Lecturer search for German wiki articles and also read them to you in German). Once one article is done, the next will automatically play.
