Listen to PDFs, EPUB books, Word files and web articles with every core reading tool included at no cost: no account, no ads, no tracking.
Follow along as each sentence is highlighted, search and bookmark passages, and keep listening through long documents. Core reading runs on your device and works offline.
A note on voices: Yomiage reads with the voices built into your iPhone. For the most natural sound, download an Enhanced or Premium voice in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices. (Siri voices can't be used by third-party apps.)

Importing a web article needs an internet connection. Optional AI features send the text you choose to the provider whose API key you set up, only after you agree, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
■ YOMIAGE PREMIUM (OPTIONAL, AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION)
Everything above works without Premium. Premium unlocks integrations for people who already have OpenAI or Speechify API access:
• Text cleanup, chapter insights and summaries, using your own OpenAI API key
• Cloud voices, emotion styles and MP3 export, using your own Speechify API key
Important: Premium includes no AI credits, API access or cloud voice time. Those providers bill you separately, and without your own API key the Premium features won't work.
Premium is offered monthly or yearly. The price for your region is shown in the app before you buy.
■ SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
• Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
