The app is free, with no account, ads or subscription. READING THAT FOLLOWS THE PAPER • Paper mode skips common author details, references, figure captions and table captions. • Review excluded text and restore passages you want to hear. • Choose whether to read text in parentheses while keeping the full text visible. • Tap a sentence to jump to it. Sentences split across pages are joined where the document layout allows. LISTEN YOUR WAY • Choose Heart, Bella or Adam and adjust the reading speed. • Continue listening with the screen locked or while using another app. • Control an active reading session from the library and the Lock Screen. • Use an English or Korean interface with System, Light or Dark appearance. Speech is in English. LOCAL AND OFFLINE The speech models are included in the app. Reading and speech generation work without an internet connection once the PDF is available on the device. PDF Listener does not send your documents, extracted text or audio to the developer or a cloud speech service. Files stored only in a cloud provider must first be downloaded by that provider. Designed for English PDFs with selectable text. Image-only scans and locked PDFs are not supported. Complex layouts, equations and unusual notation may need manual sentence selection or Full text mode; extraction and pronunciation are not always exact.
