About
Listen to any PDF, EPUB, web page or photo of a page, read aloud with each sentence highlighted. Reading is free and unlimited: no account, no adverts, nothing uploaded.
Listably reads your documents aloud in natural Studio voices that run on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, and highlights every sentence and word as it goes.
WHAT IT READS
• PDF, EPUB, TXT and HTML files
• Web pages: paste a link, or share one from Safari with "Listen in Listably"
• Photos of printed pages, scanned with the camera on iPhone and iPad and recognised on your device
• Anything you paste
LISTENING
• Sentence and word highlighting, so you can follow along or find your place
• Six Studio voices, British and American, that run entirely on your device. Fern and Willow are free; Pro adds Iris, Rowan, Ash and Reed
• The voices installed on your device as well, including Enhanced and Premium voices, for other languages or faster reading
• Speed from 0.5x to 2x with Studio voices, up to 3x with system voices
• Plays in the background and on the lock screen, with play/pause and skip from your earphones
• Sleep timer
• Skip citations such as [12] and (Smith, 2020) so papers read cleanly
• Picks up where you left off in every document
READING
• Large, clean text with a serif or sans-serif font, adjustable size, line and letter spacing
• Tap a paragraph to read from there
• Works with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver
• On iPad: a wider reading column, Split View and Slide Over
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-in
• Documents stay on your device; nothing is uploaded
• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising
• Web pages are fetched by your device directly from the site, as Safari would
FREE
Everything above is free, with no account and no limit on how much you listen. Scanning is one page at a time on the free plan.
PRO
