Two taps from launch to listening.
Snap a photo
Camera or your photo library. A book page, an email, a label, a sign — anything with words.
We read the text
The app recognizes the words on the page — even handwritten notes, books in dozens of languages, low-light photos.
You listen
Press play. Pick a voice you like. Adjust speed. Keep going across pages, or stop with a tap.
Build a library you can actually finish.
One page at a time, a book becomes yours. The next time you open it — next week, next year — you start from exactly where you stopped, on the right page and the right sentence.
- One book or many Read a single book end to end, or keep a shelf going — a novel, a memoir, the children's stories you used to read aloud.
- Resume where you stopped Open the book, hit Continue. The right page. The right sentence. No bookmark to lose.
- Read it in your language Add a translation to any book and read it — text and voice — in any of 30+ languages. Pages translate quietly in the background so the next swipe is already ready.
- Voices for every character When the book has dialogue, the app gives each character their own voice. The story comes alive instead of marching past.
Designed for people, not power users.
Big type. Plain words. No accounts. No menus to hunt through.
Home
Reader
Your library
The reading app for everyone other apps forgot.
Over 30 languages
App menus AND reading voices in more than thirty languages. Switch on the fly with one tap — including languages most reading apps skip.
Translate as you read
Photograph a page in one language. Hear it in another. The app translates the text and reads it aloud in your chosen language, naturally.
No accounts, ever
Open the app and read. No passwords. No data on our servers. Your library lives on your phone.
Older-eye accessibility
Big type by default, generous tap targets, no popups, no flash. Nothing rushes you.
Lock-screen reading
Start a book, pocket the phone, pause from the lock screen. Audio keeps going if you want it to.
Many voices per book
When characters speak, the app gives each one their own voice. Or read the whole book in your favourite narrator.
For people who'd rather listen than squint.
Built for lifelong readers whose eyes can't keep up, older readers, and the people who love them and set up apps for them. Nothing to configure. Nothing to remember. The books they loved, still in their lives.
- Readers who used to finish a book a week — and would again, if they could see it
- Parents and grandparents who miss reading aloud at home
- Anyone with macular degeneration, glaucoma, or presbyopia
- Multilingual families — read in one language, listen in another
- Anyone who'd rather listen to a long article than scroll through it
- Families who care that the pages they read aren't stored on someone's server
