Drop in a PDF, paste a link, photograph a page. It comes back as a voice you can listen to on the walk, in the car, or with your eyes shut. No length limit, and no connection needed.
The Telegram bot works today. The iPhone app is in review.
PDFs, ePub books, web articles, pasted text, and printed pages through the camera. Navigation and adverts are stripped before anything is read.
The voices are downloaded once and synthesised on the device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing runs out, and it works in aeroplane mode.
One model covers them all, and it picks the language from the text rather than asking you to.
A four-hundred page book is the same to it as a paragraph. Long documents play as one continuous stream, with your place remembered.
Your phone's own voices are free and unlimited, forever. A subscription adds every voice, every language, any speed, unlimited imports, and a monthly allowance of studio voices rendered on our servers. Hours beyond the allowance can be bought in packs and never expire.
Not for the voices that run on the device, which is the default and covers everything in the free tier. Studio voices are rendered on a server, so the text being read is sent there for as long as it takes to render, and is not retained afterwards.
No. Nothing is asked of you to read a document, and a subscription restores through your Apple ID. An account is only needed if you use studio voices, so the hours you paid for follow you between devices.
