## What is ONarrator?

ONarrator turns anything you want to read into natural-sounding speech and it all happens on your device, fully offline.

Import a PDF, EPUB, a web article, or just paste text, and ONarrator reads it aloud in a natural voice while highlighting each word as it goes. Tap any sentence to jump straight to it. Your place is always saved.

Because narration runs entirely on-device, nothing you read is ever uploaded to a server. No account, no cloud, no tracking.

READS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY READ
• PDFs — with smart handling that skips headers, footers, and page numbers
• EPUB books — publisher formatting, images, and chapters intact
• Web articles — cleaned up for distraction-free listening
• Pasted or typed text

BUILT FOR LISTENING
• Natural, high-quality on-device voices
• Word-by-word highlighting that follows along as it reads
• Tap-to-play from any sentence
• Adjustable reading speed
• Background playback — keep listening with the screen off or while using other apps
• Sleep timer, including "stop at end of chapter"
• Lock screen and Control Center playback controls

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% offline narration, your documents never leave your device
• No account required
• No ads, no tracking

Turn your reading list, your textbooks, and your saved articles into something you can listen to anywhere.
