## Description

Turn pages with a tilt of your head, a wink, or a wave of your hand — and let a natural voice read to you. Reading, reimagined with a little magic.

Read without touching the screen. MagicReader turns your iPhone or iPad into a book that responds to you — turn your head, wink, wave a hand, or just say "next page", and the page turns.

Whether your hands are busy, wet, full, or simply resting — or touching the screen is difficult for you — MagicReader keeps the story going.

TOUCH-FREE READING
• Head control — turn your head left or right to flip pages; look up to open or close a book
• Wink control — wink your right eye to go forward, your left to go back (Face ID devices)
• Hand control — a cursor follows your hand; close your hand to grab a book, swipe from the screen edge to flip
• Voice control — say "next", "back", "open", "read aloud" and more, in English or Japanese
• A guided tour teaches every gesture with live practice

NATURAL READ-ALOUD
• Beautiful, natural voices read your books to you — English and Japanese
• Japanese voices powered by VOICEVOX (VOICEVOX:No.7, VOICEVOX:四国めたん, VOICEVOX:青山龍星, VOICEVOX Nemo)
• Pages turn automatically in sync with the narration
• Voices are downloaded once, then work fully offline — all speech is generated on your device

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
• EPUB and PDF books, plus CBZ/CBR comics and manga
• Beautiful animated bookshelf themes — drifting watercolour clouds, a starry cosmos, and story worlds that come alive behind special books
• Japanese vertical text (縦書き) done right, with optional automatic furigana (ふりがな) above kanji
• Comfortable reading themes, adjustable fonts (including OpenDyslexic), and remembered positions

THOUSANDS OF FREE CLASSICS
• Browse and download public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg and Aozora Bunko (青空文庫) — from Alice in Wonderland to 銀河鉄道の夜 — right inside the app

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• The camera and microphone are used only to recognize your gestures and commands, entirely on your device
• Nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded, and there are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking — ever

MagicReader began in 2012 as one of the first face-controlled book readers on the App Store. It has been rebuilt from the ground up for today's devices — same magic, new tricks.

Reading is best when nothing comes between you and the story. Not even your hands.
