Asfar — Snap to Audiobook

Asfar turns any book into an audiobook — yours, in your language.

Photograph the pages of a book in your hands, import a PDF you already have, and Asfar does the rest: high-quality OCR, professional translation, and natural narration that reads the page aloud sentence by sentence.

What you get

• Photograph any page with the built-in scanner — auto edge detection, perspective correction, color / grayscale / B&W filters.
• Import any PDF — every page becomes a translatable, listenable page in your library.
• Translate between Arabic and English with one tap.
• Listen with natural narration — 30 voices to pick from, sentence-by-sentence highlighting as it reads.
• Read in two beautiful styles — clean Paper, or warm Book mode with serif type, drop caps, and justified text.
• Swipe to flip pages. Lock-screen controls work everywhere.

Designed for

• Arabic learners — read English books in Arabic, or hear English narration of Arabic texts.
• Anyone with low vision — turn any book into clear audio with rate control and sentence highlighting.
• Multitaskers — listen while walking, driving, or doing chores.
• Students and researchers — capture textbook pages, hear them aloud, follow along visually.
• Anyone with a stack of physical books they want to revisit on the go.

Intelligent translation

Asfar uses page-aware translation: each new page gets context from the previous pages so chapter continuity is preserved. Mid-sentence breaks across pages are handled gracefully. Equations, tables, and figures are described naturally so they make sense when spoken.

Transcription mode

If you just want the original language read aloud as-is, set source = output language and Asfar switches to faithful transcription — perfect for hearing a printed Arabic text exactly as written.

Customize

• 30 character voices — calm, bright, warm, gravelly, breezy, lively.
