## Description

Natural voices in 31 languages, generated on your iPhone and working offline. Turn any EPUB, PDF or Word file into an audiobook, and keep your books to yourself.

Turn anything you read into a natural-sounding audiobook, right on your iPhone.

Import an EPUB, PDF, Word document, MOBI/AZW3, or paste text. Pick a voice, press play, and VocaRead reads aloud while highlighting the current line. Once a voice is downloaded, everything works offline.

Offline and private
Download a voice once, then listen on a plane, in the subway, on your commute, or anywhere without a connection. Audio is generated on your device, so your books never leave your iPhone. Scanned PDFs are recognized locally with Apple Vision OCR, never uploaded to the cloud.

Your books, your voices
Choose from a large selection of natural voices across 31 languages. Switch narrator anytime to match the book, the language, or your mood. Set a precise speed from 0.5x to 2.0x per book.

Import almost anything
Open EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW/AZW3, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, and RTF. Import a web page from its URL or your browser, paste an article, email, or note, and listen immediately. Browse Project Gutenberg and your OPDS catalogs for thousands of free classics.

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. Add bookmarks, highlights, and notes, then export them as Markdown or CSV.

Never lose your place
Smart Rewind jumps back to a nearby sentence after a call or a headphone disconnect. Set the Sleep Timer for a few minutes or until the end of the chapter, and continue automatically with the next book in your Listen Next queue.

CarPlay, Apple Watch, Siri, and widgets
Listen in the car with CarPlay, control playback from Apple Watch, ask Siri and Shortcuts, and resume from the widget.

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

Great for accessibility
A calm, focused way to read for dyslexia, low vision, tired eyes, or anyone who simply prefers to listen.

Your library, at a glance
A list view to find any book and resume exactly where you left off. Imports now detect introductions and prologues in most books, so playback starts where the book really starts.

Simple pricing
Every book includes 90 minutes of free listening. Unlock unlimited listening with a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads.
