WHAT YOU CAN DO

• LISTEN TO ANYTHING Type or paste text, import a PDF, Word (DOCX), or EPUB document, scan a photo with OCR, or paste a URL to hear the article text. Auto language detection picks the right voice for you.

• 60+ LANGUAGES & VOICES All Apple system voices included — Default, Enhanced, and Premium neural voices on iOS 17+. A voice quality indicator guides you to the best available voice for each language.

• TAP TO DEFINE Long-press any sentence while listening to look up a word's definition, highlight it, or add a bookmark — without losing your place.

• READING THEMES Choose System, Sepia, or Night page themes, adjustable line spacing, and a dyslexia-friendly OpenDyslexic font option.

• TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your daily listening streak and total minutes listened right on your Library screen.

• POWERFUL PLAYBACK Speed control from 0.5x to 2.5x, current sentence highlighted with auto-scroll, skip forward or backward by sentence, full Lock Screen and AirPods support, and true background playback so you can listen while doing anything else.

• EXPORT TO MP3 & NOTES Convert any text to an MP3 file completely on-device, or export your highlights and bookmarks as a Markdown notes file. Share via AirDrop, Files, or Messages.

• APPLE WATCH COMPANION See what's reading and control playback right from your wrist.

• BUILT FOR IPAD A layout designed for the bigger screen, so reading and listening feel just as natural on iPad.

PRIVACY FIRST Your text never leaves your iPhone. No account required, no data collection, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. The only network request is optional URL fetching when you paste a web link.
