Mispronunciations and mix ups

Ideal for those who need to swap between actual reading and audiobooks without paying for two books. However, certain contractions get mispronounced, the narration mixes words around, and it doesn’t smoothly read over introductory paragraphs that have fonts mismatched.. such as chapter beginnings. Lots to be desired.

Great for Kindle and long reads

CastReader makes it easy to keep reading when I’d rather listen. I especially like using it for Kindle books and long articles on my iPhone. The synchronized highlighting helps me follow along, and switching between reading and listening feels natural.

Finally, a TTS app that actually works

CastReader does exactly what it promises. Clean interface, natural voices, and the highlighting feature keeps me engaged. Whether it's a news article or a PDF document, it just works. Five stars.

Makes everyday reading easier

CastReader is a convenient way to catch up on articles when I don’t feel like staring at a screen. I like how simple it is to turn text into something I can listen to. Definitely worth trying!

Simple idea,big difference.

I still have the original text in front of me when I need it, but I don't have to keep my eyes fixed on every line. That combination works really well for me.

Great for English practic

Hearing the words while reading along has been helpful for pronunciation. I sometimes replay a difficult section at a slower speed.

Didn’t texpect to keep using it.

I’ve tried several reading apps and usually delete them after a day. This one has stayed on my phone because it fits naturally into my routine.

Subscribed before I even finished exploring the app

Downloaded this on a whim and honestly didn't expect much, but I subscribed to the annual plan within 5 minutes of opening it. That almost never happens with me. It just does the one thing I'd been searching for, and does it well — no clunky setup, no confusing menus, just straight to what I needed. Sometimes you know within the first few taps whether an app gets it, and this one did immediately.

Exactly What I Needed

Exactly what I wanted from a mobile reader. It is simple enough for daily use and still capable.

Easy on the Eyes

Easy on the eyes and easy to control. The main controls are always easy to reach.

Needs offline listening

Very good when I have a connection, not useful on a flight. Downloadable audio would make this an easy five stars for me.

Surprisingly Polished

A surprisingly polished reader. The interface also feels thoughtfully designed.

Listen and Follow Along

I can listen and still follow the page. It helps me to stay engaged with the content

Easy-to-use software

This software is very easy to use. It is very easy to read and explain. I highly recommend you to use it.

Helps Me Stay Focused

The highlighting keeps me focused! It is especially useful with dense material.

Smart Read & Explain

Read & Explain is such a smart feature! It is especially useful when a passage gets difficult.

Helpful for Studying

Really helpful for study sessions. I can listen and review at the same time.

Great for Long PDFs

Great for long PDFs on the train. The playback stays easy to control throughout.

這是一款很棒的 App,只有一個小小的請求

對於這款 Kindle 閱讀應用,以及相較於其他大型 TTS(文字轉語音)App 更親民的價格,我感到非常滿意。AI 解釋功能在處理統計學章節時表現得相當出色。如果能加入更多更自然的美式英語語音,那就幾乎完美了。
