## Description

Share webpages, PDFs, documents, and screenshots, then listen with free offline voices. Follow sentence highlighting and keep every read neatly organized.

PaperSpeak turns the documents you already have into a calm, focused listening experience.

PaperSpeak is free to download and use, with no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.

Import a file or paste text, choose a voice, and listen while PaperSpeak highlights each sentence. Tap any sentence to jump directly to it, adjust the playback speed, and continue later from where you stopped.

READ AND LISTEN TOGETHER
• Follow clear sentence-by-sentence highlighting
• Tap any sentence to start from that point
• Adjust playback speed from 0.5× to 2×
• Continue listening in the background
• Resume each document from your saved position

BRING YOUR OWN DOCUMENTS
• Import PDF, TXT, RTF, HTML, DOCX, and Pages files
• Read text-based and scanned PDFs with on-device recognition
• Keep PDF reading order while common repeated headers, footers, and page numbers are removed
• Follow PDF page progress and resume where you stopped
• Import several documents at once
• Paste text to create a document instantly
• Share text, webpages, and supported document files directly from other apps
• Webpage import focuses on the main article and skips common banners, navigation, sidebars, related-content grids, comments, and footers
• Share one or several screenshots and extract editable text on-device
• Older DOC files can be converted to DOCX before import

KEEP YOUR LIBRARY ORGANIZED
• Create and rename folders
• Select several documents at once
• Move documents between folders
• Rename or delete documents whenever you like

CHOOSE HOW PAPER SPEAKS
• Use built-in Apple voices offline
• Choose from 13 language options: Mandarin, Cantonese, US and UK English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Hindi, and Arabic
• Set a favorite voice for each selected language
• Optionally connect Azure, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs with your own API key

PaperSpeak does not require an account and does not contain advertising or tracking. Documents, screenshot recognition, and scanned-PDF recognition stay on your device when using built-in voices. When you choose a cloud speech engine, the text being spoken is sent directly to that provider to generate audio. Optional cloud providers may charge for their services; see each provider’s official website for more information.
