## What is Earshot?

Earshot reads your PDFs, web articles and notes aloud in a natural, human-sounding voice that runs entirely on your iPhone. It works offline and keeps your documents private.

LISTEN TO ANYTHING
• PDFs and text files from Files, Downloads or iCloud Drive
• Web articles: paste a link and Earshot keeps just the article
• Anything you copy: paste it in and press play

READ ALONG
• The sentence being read is highlighted; tap any sentence to jump there
• Speeds from 0.5× to 3×, a sleep timer, dark mode, and adjustable text size and line spacing
• Earshot remembers where you stopped in every document
• Keeps reading in the background, with lock-screen and headphone controls

NATURAL VOICE, ON YOUR DEVICE
• A one-time download installs a natural voice that works without a connection
• Speech is generated on your iPhone: your documents are never uploaded
• Clean PDF reading: page numbers, running headers and broken words are fixed for listening
• Text that isn't English is read with your iPhone's built-in voices

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Exported audio is marked as AI-generated speech

The free plan includes the device voice without limits, the natural voice for 30 minutes a day, and up to 5 documents. Plus adds unlimited natural-voice listening, 18 more natural voices, an unlimited library, and export to audio files.
