The good and the bad of eloquence coming back to Android

Eloquence for Android is coming back!
November 3, 2025
After more than five years, Eloquence, the legendary text-to-speech (TTS) voice loved by blind and visually impaired users around the world, is returning to the Google Play Store!
Many of you will remember Eloquence for its incredible speed and clarity — even at very high speech rates. It’s not the most “natural” or “human” voice, but that’s exactly what makes it so effective. For many, Eloquence is more than a voice — it’s their tool for independence, productivity, and accessibility.
Over the past few years, Eloquence unfortunately stopped working on newer Android versions because it was built as a 32-bit app. As Android evolved, maintaining compatibility became impossible. But we’ve heard you — and we made the effort to port and rebuild Eloquence as a  64-bit app, ready for today’s Android devices!
And here’s some more good news to the ones that might have missed their chance back in the days to purchase the product but are now still using an Android device running on 32 bits (Android 7 or above): the new version also includes 32-bit support, so even users on older Android devices can enjoy the new Eloquence through the same package.
This has been a true labor of love for our small team. We are not a big company with endless resources — we are a small, passionate group dedicated to keeping accessibility technology alive and sustainable.
That’s why the new Eloquence 64-bit will be available through a subscription model.
Back in 2014–2015, one-time purchases were the norm — but they came with challenges. Technology changes quickly, and many users understandably expect a one-time purchase to last forever. Unfortunately, that’s just not possible in today’s fast-moving Android ecosystem.
By offering Eloquence as a subscription, we can:
Keep it updated and compatible with new Android versions
Ensure we can afford to maintain and improve it long-term
Avoid future disappointments when platforms evolve again
We know some of you purchased Eloquence in the past (the last versions were sold up until 2019). Those purchases remain yours — you can still use them if they work on your device. However, since this is a completely new 64-bit rebuild, older purchases can’t be upgraded directly.
We truly hope you’ll join us again and support this new chapter of Eloquence. Your enthusiasm and understanding mean the world to us — it’s what makes continued development possible.
We’re incredibly proud to bring back a voice that has helped so many people over the years. Thank you for believing in us and helping keep Eloquence alive and talking. 
Stay tuned for the official re-launch on the Google Play Store — coming soon.

    I know about IT. But unfortunately people do it all the time with software cracking.

    Unfortunately, I don’t condone cracking software, so just don’t do it. I know it is dumb what CodeFactory is doing, but unfortunately if you want it, then you’ll have to pay for it unfortunately.

    I’m just guessing there might be a crack of the 64 bit eloquence on BHP but I am not sure.

    I love using Eloquence, but why do we have to pay for it? They don’t even tell us how much it will cost.

    You could turn on talk back on there Android phone if they allow you and you can turn off when you’re finished using it.

    You could try it on your parents phone if they allow you. I used to try it on my dad’s old Samsung phone.

    Nice news. I think a one time purchase is better in my opinion but I guess we need to get use of the subscription.

    I think it’s kind of bad that it will be a subscription, especially since I can get it for completely free on iPhone.
