## What is Audeus Text to Speech?

Audeus turns any text into natural, lifelike audio, so you can read aloud PDFs, docs, books, and articles wherever you are. Our AI voice reader (text to speech, TTS) comes with 120+ realistic voices across 50+ languages, so you can convert anything you read into something you listen to instead, and get more done in less time.

LISTEN AT THE SPEED THAT WORKS FOR YOU
Adjust your playback speed up to 3.5x and stay focused longer. Our AI voices stay clear and natural even at high speed, so you can move through PDFs, docs, and books faster without losing comprehension.

LIFELIKE AI VOICES IN 50+ LANGUAGES
Choose from 120+ natural, expressive voices to keep you engaged. Switch voices for different reading types, whether that's a textbook, a work document, or a novel, and personalize how you listen.

WORD-BY-WORD TEXT HIGHLIGHTING
Stay locked in with text highlighting that's synced word by word to the audio, not just by paragraph. This keeps your place clear, reduces eye strain, and helps you follow along even in distracting environments. It's also a strong fit for readers with dyslexia or ADHD who benefit from combined visual and auditory reading.

TURN A PHOTO INTO AN AUDIOBOOK
Read aloud any physical book or printed page with just a photo. Audeus uses OCR to scan the image, pull the text, and read it aloud, so a textbook, worksheet, or printed article becomes something you can listen to on the go.

SCAN AND CONVERT ANY IMAGE OR SCREENSHOT
Screenshot anything with text on it, a note, a letter, a page of a document, and turn it into audio instantly. Audeus reads text from photos and scans so you're not stuck typing things out by hand.

READ ALOUD PDFS, DOCS, AND BOOKS
Import PDFs, Word docs, and books directly and have Audeus read them aloud with natural pacing. It's built for the reading you actually do: assignments, reports, contracts, and the book you keep meaning to finish.

WRITE AND LISTEN WITH THE BUILT-IN TEXT EDITOR
Type or paste text into Audeus's editor and listen back as you write. It's a fast way to catch run-on sentences, awkward phrasing, and typos in emails, essays, and other writing before you send it.

SYNC ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES
Audeus includes the mobile app, an online reader, and a Chrome extension, all synced to the same library. Start a chapter on your phone during your commute and pick it up on your laptop later, with your place saved automatically.

BUILT FOR STUDENTS AND WORKING PROFESSIONALS
Students, med students, law students, and early career professionals use Audeus's text to speech reader to get through more reading in less time, whether that's course material, case files, or day to day work documents.

One Audeus subscription unlocks the mobile app, online reader, and Chrome extension together.

### 1/5 — Skipping

*2026-08-21*

It skips lines or portions of its own accord and crashes all the time

### 1/5 — horrible

*2026-04-06*

i got photos of my book so it could read it to me because every audio book app costs money now. It literally jumped around the text reading one part at the top the reading a couple words from the very bottom! I would rather pay $100 a month for a app but this was horrible!! don’t get this! It sounded like gibberish!😡😡

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback. Image-to-text layout can sometimes misread ordering, especially with book pages, which can lead to text being read out of sequence. We’re actively improving this to make extraction and reading more accurate and stable. If you can share an example page, we can also use it to improve the system further.

### 5/5 — Perfeito

*2026-03-14*

Eu amei esse app super prático para estudos,livros... Além disso é um dos únicos desse tipo que tem versão de voz e de entendimento em várias línguas .
Incrível ⭐️🔥

### 4/5 — if you value ur time, 120 is a drop in the bucket.

*2025-11-03*

I saw the other review claiming “$120 a year for trash” and saying they’d rather hire someone to build one. That kind of says it all, because if you think this is something you can just “hire out,” you’re not the target user.

The truth is, this product isn’t replicable unless you’ve got months to burn rebuilding the full pipeline. That’s not even counting the annotation tools, the boxed-in text system, and the workflow that actually cuts down your reading and editing time. I’ve tried the other big names that charge basically the same, Speechify, Otter, Natural Reader, and NONE of them scratch the itch. This one genuinely meets me where I’m at with precision, layout control, and raw speed. I don’t need to waste my time bouncing between apps either or search for the next shiny thing, so there’s that.

If $120 feels “enormous,” then yeah, maybe this product isn’t for you. It’s for people who move fast and know that time costs more than money.

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2025-10-05*

They ask for like $120 per year for this trash, at that point I may as well hire someone to make a text to speech app. Do not pay a cent for this garbage, you can find it free elsewhere just do a little bit of searching to save an enormous amount of money.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Audeus includes free on-device voices that don’t require a subscription or account. The subscription is optional and unlocks AI voices and additional features across the app. If something didn’t work as expected for you, feel free to share the details so we can help and improve it.

### 5/5 — Best out of all options

*2025-07-07*

After exploring various apps, I have ended up with this one because it is the best. It is the most personalized, versatile, perfect for school and other things. I use it for textbooks, occasional stories or news; in a car, at gym, in library when taking notes, or even just at home while doing chores. Would highly recommend!
