## What is Read & Explain?

A photo of a page. A screenshot full of words. Something you’d like a little help understanding.

Read & Explain turns photos into comfortable readings you can listen to, explore, and save. Made for iPhone and iPad, with a warm design that gives your words room to breathe.

TURN PHOTOS INTO READINGS
Take a photo or choose one from your library. Extract the words and equations into a clear reading view, ready to revisit whenever you need it.

GET A SIMPLER EXPLANATION
Choose Explain it for an AI explanation in simpler language. Keep the extracted text and explanation together so you can return to either.

LISTEN AND FOLLOW ALONG
Hear your reading with Apple’s built-in voices. Follow the highlighted words as they’re spoken, pause when you need to, and choose a speaking speed that suits you.

MAKE IT COMFORTABLE
Adjust text size, line spacing, font, and reading theme. For more reading tools, open your reading in Microsoft Immersive Reader.

KEEP YOUR READINGS CLOSE
Save readings in your on-device library and come back later. Saved text and available on-device voices work offline. Creating readings, getting explanations, and using Immersive Reader require an internet connection.

YOUR PHOTO, YOUR CHOICE
Your selected photo is sent to our AI service when you choose to process it. Your saved library stays on your device. Opening Microsoft Immersive Reader shares the selected reading with Microsoft.

TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
Explore the built-in sample without a subscription. An annual membership unlocks photo processing, AI explanations, and Microsoft Immersive Reader. Your saved readings and built-in listening remain available after your membership ends.

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Your local price and any eligible introductory offer are shown before purchase.

AI can make mistakes. Check important details against the original photo.
