What's New in Local TTS

2.3.2

September 8, 2026

Open documents from other apps, and listen without interruptions: • Open documents from any app — send PDF, EPUB, DOCX, TXT/Markdown, HTML, and RTF files from Files, Safari, Mail, or any share sheet straight to your library • Plays nicely with other audio — opening the app no longer pauses music from other apps, playback resumes right after a call, and switching earbuds or Bluetooth devices no longer interrupts it • Long PDFs — every chapter shows in the table of contents right away and loads on the spot when you pick it; jumping through a long book is faster; playback no longer stalls or restarts partway through big files • More natural narration — acronyms like HTTPS are spelled out, all-caps names are read as words, quotes are read correctly, split-up cover titles are joined into one sentence, and Markdown links read only their label • More reliable — fixes for several playback crashes; if the voice engine fails to load, the app now explains what happened and lets you retry • Performance improvements and bug fixes

Good app with small issues

It works pretty well with a couple issues. It often gets names wrong and if there’s an apostrophe before an s (like John’s) it will pronounce the s separately. But besides that it’s a good app and I appreciate how it’s all on-device

Perfect app

This app is honestly the best. For what it is. Compared to the pay walls like other TTS apps, being able to use it offline and simply copy and paste without limits is what other apps are missing. Regardless of the voices if this app can do it, so can many others.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the offline experience and simple copy-and-paste workflow. I’ll keep improving the voices while keeping the app private, straightforward, and free from unnecessary restrictions.
