Text to Speech - Common Issues
Listen uses Google Translate’s Text To Speech API to playback the written text into spoken voice.
Google Text to Speech API can only convert strings that have less than 100 characters and the same limitation is applicable to Listen as well. Listen cannot convert large blocks of text - like web pages, documents or lengthy emails - but there are other file conversion services for you.
