ReadToMe: Text Read Aloud

Your pages, your pace. Turn text in photos and screenshots into read-aloud audio.

Make room for reading, even when you would rather listen.

ReadToMe turns photos and screenshots of printed pages into text you can hear aloud. Add your pages, review the extracted text, and press play.

FROM PAGE TO PLAY

• Take a photo, choose images from Photos, or import image files.
• Add several pages and listen in order.
• Follow along with highlighted words as the narration plays.

LISTEN YOUR WAY

• Choose from three natural Apple voices: Samantha (American female), Aaron (American male), and Daniel (British male). Tap play on any voice to hear a preview.
• Set your pace: 0.5x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x, or 1.5x.
• Pause, resume, or jump back and forward through the narration.

KEEP YOUR PAGES TOGETHER

• Save books in your Library on your iPhone.
• Open page images full screen and swipe between them.

Guest access includes 10 page extractions in total. Free accounts include 100 page extractions per calendar month. An internet connection is required to extract text from new pages.

For better-quality voices, download a free Enhanced or Premium English voice in iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices (called Read & Speak on newer iOS). ReadToMe falls back to an available system voice when needed. Voice availability and sound vary by device and downloaded voices. Speed settings are approximate, and word highlighting may use estimated timing when precise word boundaries are unavailable.

Page images are sent to our server and an AI service to extract text. Text recognition can make mistakes; review important text before relying on it.
