## Description

iRead reads the books you already own out loud — natural voices, fully offline, no subscription.

LISTEN TO YOUR OWN BOOKS
• Natural neural voices read EPUB, TXT and MOBI aloud
• Keeps playing in the background, with the screen locked
• Lock screen and headphone controls, like a podcast
• Chinese and English voices, switched per chapter automatically
• Runs entirely on your phone — your text is never uploaded

READ THEM TOO
• Import from Files, the share sheet, or your computer over Wi-Fi
• Light and dark themes, adjustable size and spacing
• Shelf with covers, categories and reading progress
• One backup file carries your library, progress and settings between devices

GOOD TO KNOW
• PDF opens for reading but cannot be read aloud — convert it to EPUB first (free converter at iread-reader.web.app)
• DRM-protected books, including Kindle and Apple Books purchases, cannot be opened
• There is no store inside iRead. It never sells or ships books; it opens the ones you already have

FREE AND PRO
• Free: the whole reader, plus your device's built-in system voice
• Pro: unlocks the natural neural voices. One-time purchase, yours forever
• No subscription, no account, no ads, no tracking
