Phrase/sentence Reader
I mam gradually losing my voice, MND, and need a programme that will read out a previously saved phrase/sentence on my Android tablet. Anyone have any ideas of how to do this ??
This will save me having to type commonly used phases, that will take me quite some time!

I'm a little out of my depth here but I'll offer you what I've managed to find on the subject in the hope that something here might help:
Firstly, Android devices come with a text-to-speech facility built in. See here to enable it:

Then it might be possible to create a text file (using whichever office software you've got on your device), where the text-to-speech facility can be used to read out selected text.
For some other apps which might help, see here:

Your proposed way of doing things is known as 'phrase banking' but you might also want to consider full 'voice banking'. See these links for an explanation:

Voice banking requires specialist equipment but, if you can't obtain it through your local support services, the Motor Neurone Disease Association has a loan system. Further, voice banking requires the payment of some fees but MNDA can offer some financial support. See here:
