## What is AudioThru?

AudioThru is a reading assistant that turns text from books, images, PDF and DOCX files, and web pages into audio, helping you keep reading even when you are busy.

READ AND LISTEN YOUR WAY
• Capture a book page or select an image and recognize its text directly on your device.
• Import PDF or DOCX files and organize pages in your personal library.
• Open a web page, select its content, and listen using voices provided by your device.
• Adjust playback speed, pause, resume, navigate content, and use voice controls.
• Save pages, bookmarks, history, and continue your most recent reading session.
• Track listening achievements directly on your device.

AN ACCOUNT IS OPTIONAL
You can use the core reading features without signing in. Sign in with Google or Apple only when you want to sync listening totals, voluntarily join the leaderboard, and receive notifications.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Scans and full reading content are not sent to Analytics or the account server. If you join the leaderboard, AudioThru syncs only aggregate listening totals by date, language, and reading source. Titles, URLs, article content, and OCR text are not synchronized.

Common commands are handled on the device first. If experimental AI features are enabled or cloud recognition recovery is needed, a transcript, limited context, and a short voice-command recording may be processed securely. AudioThru does not retain that audio file.

OCR, speech recognition, and voice quality may vary depending on language, image quality, environment, and device capabilities.
