It's such a tragedy the publicly available IVONA Kendra was taken off the Google Play store once Amazon had obtained IVONA. Kendra can only be obtained through third-parties due to discontinued support. However, none of these events changed Kendra's solid voice quality. Kendra still holds up as a realistic TTS voice that holds a variety of uses.
IVONA Kendra voice sample (reading Twilight):
American English Female TTS Voice
Compatible with Android smartphones
Compatible with TTS applications

Install APKPure into your smartphone.
Place XAPK Kendra file anywhere in the phone's internal storage (NOT SD CARD).
Open APKPure, select App Management, scroll to "APK/XAPK Management".
Install IVONA Kendra XAPK.
If prompted that XAPK is not allowed to install applications, allow from source.
