Marmalade TTS

Marmalade TTS is a text to speech application developed by Maxwell Warren, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.0 weighing in at 114.54 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 114.54 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Maxwell Warren" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

Marmalade TTS gives your phone a voice worth listening to. Set it as your system text-to-speech engine and every app that reads aloud, from screen readers to e-readers to chat apps, speaks through Marmalade.

WORKS EVERYWHERE

Marmalade implements Android's standard text-to-speech interface, so it is a drop-in replacement for Google or Samsung TTS. Pick it once in Settings and it powers spoken text across your apps.

READY OUT OF THE BOX

A fast English voice is built in, so Marmalade speaks offline from the first launch. Bigger and better engines download only when you choose them, and text read by on-device voices never leaves your phone.

A VOICE FOR EVERY APP

Marmalade is built around aliases. Build your favorite voice with speed and effect settings. Route apps to aliases and your e-reader can speak in one voice while your chat app uses another. Anything unrouted follows your primary alias.

SPEAKS 8 LANGUAGES

The multilingual Kokoro engine speaks English (US and UK), Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. It detects the language as it reads and switches pronunciation on the fly.

PRIVATE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE CLOUD

No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, and no backend of ours. On-device voices touch the network only to download the engines you pick. If you want voices beyond what your phone can run, add a cloud engine with your own API key. Providers include Venice.ai, which says it does not store or log requests. Until you set one up, nothing you read ever leaves your phone. Note: other providers may log requests. Refer to their privacy policies.

BUILT FOR SCREEN READERS

Marmalade is accessible with rich TalkBack support and designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA with a high-contrast dark theme. Every control is labeled, and progress and errors are announced aloud when TalkBack is enabled. Nothing an assistive-tech user needs sits behind a purchase.

MAKE IT YOURS

22 built-in effect presets like 8-bit, cyborg, megaphone, and vintage radio give spoken output character. Or build your own effect chains in the editor.

READS THE LONG STUFF

A foreground playback service reads long text reliably with the screen off, with lock-screen and Bluetooth controls. Share text from any app, use the system "read selection" action, or speak your clipboard from a Quick Settings tile.

OPEN SOURCE

Marmalade's own source code is MIT licensed and its repository contains no GPL code. The published app also contains the espeak-ng phonemizer, compiled from source at build time, so the app you install is distributed under GPL-3.0-or-later. The exact espeak-ng version used is pinned from the project repository, and license details for every component are shown inside the app.

Is Marmalade TTS free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Marmalade TTS require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Marmalade TTS safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Maxwell Warren. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Marmalade TTS?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded app.marmalade.tts.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «Marmalade TTS» by Maxwell Warren and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
