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.

新一代阅读器

非常好用,非常智能,是目前最先进的文字网页阅读器

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。

different from ElevenReader

ElevenReader still has more voice choices, but CastReader feels more like a reading tool than an audiobook generator. The synced text is why I kept it.

Good for Word documents

Opened a DOCX someone emailed me and listened while checking the text. No copying everything into another app, which I appreciated.

Helpful for language practice

I use the Spanish voice while following the highlighted text. Being able to hear and see the same sentence makes practice much less tiring.

Seamless

Not bad,I like it.

Turns My Kindle Books Into Audiobooks

CastReader works great with Kindle and Google Play Books. It can read my books aloud and basically turn my entire library into audiobooks. Super convenient and easy to use — highly recommended!

Explain is more useful than I expected

The Ai explanation is good when a paragraph is dense. I like that it marks the original instead of replacing it with a generic summary 👍

Won’t replace audible but good for books with no audiobook version

The app is a big buggy and stumbles over contractions and place names. However, it’s way better than having Alexa or Siri read.

It’s obvious it’s AI and it pauses at the end of pages, but it’s usable. For some reason I have not been able to read books when I used to read several a week so audio books are my only option.

Cast reader has allowed me to listen to old favorites without cringing (I have aphantasia so sound quality is extremely important to me without visual images to distract me.)

Kindle sync could be easier

The voices and highlighting are good.
First time Kindle setup was a little confusing though.

Amazing!

I’ve been looking for an app that would help me listen to kindle books FOR YEARS. It works great! A+++

Finally, PDFs that are easy to follow

I used to send every PDF to my Kindle, but with dyslexia I still struggled to keep my place. CastReader’s read-aloud highlighting makes long documents much easier to follow without feeling cluttered. Simple, focused, and genuinely useful.
