VocaRead

VocaRead turns EPUB, PDF and MOBI/AZW3 books into private offline audiobooks. New: paste text, sleep timer, custom pronunciations.

Turn your books into natural-sounding audiobooks, right on your iPhone.

Import an EPUB, PDF, MOBI/AZW3, or simply paste text. Choose a voice, press play, and VocaRead reads aloud while highlighting the current line. Once voices are downloaded, listening works offline.

Your books, your voices Choose from 30+ natural voices across multiple languages. Switch narrator at any time to match the book, language, or listening style you prefer.

Offline and private Download a voice once, then listen on a plane, in the subway, in the car, or anywhere without a connection. Audio is generated on your device, so your books stay private.

EPUB, PDF, MOBI/AZW3 and text import Add your own files, turn PDFs into spoken reading, open e-reader formats, or paste an article, email, or note and listen immediately.

Custom pronunciations A name pronounced incorrectly? A foreign word? An acronym? Long-press a word and teach VocaRead exactly how to say it.

Read while you listen Follow the text as narration plays, with the current line highlighted. Adjust playback speed and keep your own reading rhythm.

On-device translation For selected languages, VocaRead can translate locally on your device without sending your text to the cloud.

Apple CarPlay and Apple Watch Listen in the car with CarPlay, control playback from Apple Watch, and resume easily where you left off.

Sleep timer Pause after a few minutes or at the end of the current chapter.
