How it works

  • Add a PDF or text file from Files, paste text, or share a page's text from Safari and other apps.
  • Scanned pages are read too: the app recognises the text on your device.
  • Press play. The sentence being read is highlighted, so you can follow along or look away.
  • Go back or forward a sentence, change the speed, pick one of ten voices, or set a sleep timer.
  • Your place is kept: pick up a document where you stopped.
  • Lock the screen and the audio the app has already prepared keeps playing. When it runs out, the reading pauses until you open the app again.

Private, also offline

  • The voice runs on your device. Your text is not sent anywhere.
  • Works offline. The internet is only used for your subscription.
  • No account, no ads, no tracking.
  • The app never fetches a web page: it reads the text you give it.

Languages

The voice reads English and Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian. The app picks the language from the text and you can change it with one tap. A text in two languages is read in one. The app itself speaks 38 languages. The voice is synthetic: it will not sound like a person, and numbers, names and unusual wording may be read wrongly.

For iPhone and iPad

iOS 15 or later. Text size follows your settings, and the iPad has its own layout.

Subscription

The sample is free. Subscribe monthly or yearly to have your own documents read to you; new subscribers get a 3-day free trial. Your documents stay in your Library and you can still read their text. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
