GreekBack is an Android app with unique accessibility enhancements for the Greek language, which is primarily targeted at People with Disabilities. It's specifically designed to work best with the TalkBack screen reader. It contains a Text-to-Speech engine, the only one that reads Greek everywhere: SMS, e-mails, web pages, device usage, etc., and can be used by any application that uses Text-to-Speech . Also, GreekBack includes two additional features that optimize user access: "Where I'm Back" and "SMS Projector".
Characteristics:

TTS for Android with Simos low-pitch voice, which installs as a speech synthesizer in Android Text-to-Speech Exit settings and can be used by any app. The voice uses a dipole technology and has mechanical tones .
