Accessible listening

Have your books and documents read aloud

When the page is hard work, hand it to a narrator. Drop any DRM-free book or document and hear it in a natural voice, with the text highlighted as it goes.

Comfortable for hours

•
Natural, book-length narration instead of a flat system voice. Choose the gender, accent and pace you like.
•
Read-along highlighting by sentence or word, and a PDF view that lights up the words on the page itself.
•
Speed from 0.75x to 2x, and a sleep timer.
•
Chapters, bookmarks and a saved place, so a long book can stretch over weeks.

Works with your device

•
The iPhone and iPad app follows your text size (Dynamic Type) and works with VoiceOver.
•
The web app works with the keyboard and with browser zoom.
•
Listen in any browser, on iPhone and iPad, and in the Mac app. Your place follows you between them.

Questions people ask

Is it a screen reader?

No. It narrates the book or document you upload. For menus and apps, use the screen reader built into your device.

Can I make the text larger?

Yes. The iPhone app follows the system text size; in the browser, use zoom.

Which files work?

EPUB, PDF, Word, Kindle (DRM-free), TXT and more, up to 10 MB. A scanned PDF needs a text layer to be read.

Is it free?

Free includes unlimited Standard voices in English and 10 minutes of Premium voices. Paid plans add more Premium voices and more books of your own.
