Welcome to Aya Reader! (A note from the developer) 🚀

Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer behind Aya Reader! 👋

I built this app because I couldn't find a local reader that truly met my needs—especially when it came to reading foreign language books and listening on the go. After months of development, I'm thrilled to finally share it with you.

Here is what makes Aya Reader stand out:

Next-Level Translation: If you read books in other languages, you know the built-in translation can sometimes fall short or feel clunky. Aya Reader features highly accurate translation tool and makes reading foreign literature an absolute breeze without breaking your flow.

Studio-Quality Audio (TTS): I wanted a listening experience that didn't sound like a robot. Aya Reader utilizes top-tier Text-to-Speech engines to provide incredibly smooth, natural-sounding, human-like voices. Just tap play, lock your screen, and enjoy a premium audiobook experience anywhere you go.

100% Free & Clean: No ads, no expensive subscriptions, and absolutely zero user tracking. Your EPUB and TXT files stay strictly on your device. It is a pure, distraction-free reading environment designed to respect your privacy.

Since this is version 1.0, I am actively working on new features and optimizations. If you encounter any bugs, or just have a feature request, please feel free to reach out to me via the support email in the app. I read and reply to every single message.

Thank you for giving Aya Reader a try. Happy reading (and listening)! 📖🎧
