My friend is looking for some text-to-speech software to help with some reading at uni. I know a lot of people on here use screenreaders, so I thought this would be the place to ask. He currently uses Windows and iOS. He also has Linux installed on another partition, but it doesn't get a lot of use.
Any recommendations?

Going nutty, anyone know of a free (preferably open source) remote support app for android? I'm on a Linux PC but need to support an Android device in another location.
Love RustDesk but it has to be side loaded and I'll be damned if I can get remote input to work on android.

My advice:
Store your works locally (if you need a word processor, LibreOffice is good), and have a cloud backup solution for disaster recovery. (I use Backblaze, but there are many other options; you'll probably want one where you can set an encryption key so that even the backup service won't be able to read your files)
Then, regularly test your backups; go into the dashboard, check that the files you care about most are listed there, download them and check that the downloaded versions are what you expect.
Once that's in place, work out what (if any) cloud document or file sharing services you want to use for easy access between devices if you need it. For a Google Docs replacement, I'd recommend cryptpad.fr. If you want to just share the files between devices, I haven't heard of any issues with Dropbox (yet).
What do you all use as a free PDF editor/converter instead of Adobe Acrobat? I am looking for software that you have firsthand experience with. Thanks.
Edit: I am using Windows on a PC.

What #notetaking app are *you* using?! I haven't yet found my match, and I've been through more than a few. Would love to know what others are using that work well. Bonus points: collaborative apps that beat Notion's pricing 👀

I'm really surprised at how much trouble I've had finding a simple tool to display iCal files in a directory on my machine with a simple read-only calendar web viewer. I've looked at several possibilities and haven't found anything. OpenWebCalendar gets the closest, and I was able to modify its source so that it does what I want, but it's very odd to me that this doesn't exist already. Am I missing some commonly used solution?
