## What is Pagecast?

Pagecast reads the documents already on your phone out loud — PDF, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, DOCX, MOBI, AZW3. Import and listen. No account, no internet, no subscription.

WHY PAGECAST
• Truly offline. Speech is generated on your phone. Your files, titles and reading progress are never uploaded — listen on a plane or underground.
• A bookstore built in. Free public-domain classics in seven languages — add one to your shelf and it's yours to read or listen to offline.
• Buy once. There are no servers to pay for, so there is nothing to rent by the month. The free version is free forever; the lifetime upgrade is a single purchase you can restore on your next phone.
• Natural pauses. Where a sentence breaks decides whether it sounds read or recited. The advanced sentence model places pauses at long clauses, quotes and dialogue.
• Voices worth listening to. Super HD voices for English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and German, with intonation that follows punctuation; three offline HD voices for Chinese; every voice built into your device stays free.
• Mixed-language text. A second language inside the text is read by a second voice — no more English read with a Chinese accent, or the other way round.

WHAT YOU GET
• Automatic chapter detection with a tappable table of contents; seek by sentence
• Keeps playing on the lock screen and in the background, with lock-screen controls
• Sleep timer, 0.5–3× speed, text size and line spacing, night mode
• The sentence being read is highlighted as you listen
• Scanned PDFs are recognized automatically
• Import straight from Files, Mail or any app's Share / Open In

FREE vs LIFETIME
Free: unlimited imports, every format, built-in system voices, chapters, speed, sleep timer and night mode — forever.
Lifetime (one-time purchase, no auto-renewal): the advanced sentence model, offline HD and Super voice downloads, and two-voice mixed-language reading. Pay once, restore on any new device.

LANGUAGES
Interface and reading: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-08

• A bookstore built in — free public-domain classics in seven languages. Add one and it is yours to read or listen to offline.
• Books now open straight into the reader: paged layout, with the chapter title, clock, battery and page number where you expect them.
• Listening happens inside the reader. The sentence being read is highlighted, and pages turn by themselves.
• A draggable mini player, so you can keep listening while you look around.
• Looking for a book we do not have yet? Ask, and we will go and look for it.
• Much faster paging on long chapters, shorter gaps between sentences, and less battery used while listening.
