## What is FarRead?

FarRead turns your iPhone into a distance text reader for menus, signs, slides, labels, and any text that is too far or too small to read comfortably.

Point your camera, zoom in, and capture. FarRead reads the text on-device and gives you clean, editable results in seconds — then reads it aloud if you'd rather listen.

HOW IT WORKS
- Point at distant or small text
- Capture with one tap (telephoto-optimized on supported iPhones)
- Read clean, editable text
- Listen with Read Aloud at your own pace

FEATURES
- Fast on-device OCR — no internet required
- Reading modes for menus, signs, slides, and documents
- Read Aloud with adjustable speed
- Searchable history with smart titles
- Export to PDF or TXT
- No ads, ever

PRIVACY FIRST
Text recognition runs on your device. FarRead is built to work offline and keeps your captures with you.

FarRead Plus
Upgrade for unlimited captures, advanced Read Aloud, full searchable history, and export. Manage anytime in App Store settings.
