## What is Read It?

Ever save an article you never get around to reading? Read It turns any article URL into natural-sounding audio, so you can listen while you walk, drive, commute, or do the dishes.

Paste a link, or send one from the iOS Share Sheet in Safari, Chrome, News, X, Reddit, or any other app. Audio starts in seconds. One thing, done well.

NEW: TRANSLATE AS YOU LISTEN
Read It can now translate articles into the language you want to hear them in. Save an article in one language, listen to it in another - perfect for keeping up with international news, studying a new language, or finally understanding that piece a friend sent you.

- Translate any article into 19 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish
- Pick your preferred target language once and every new article is translated automatically
- Natural-sounding AI voices read the translation aloud - not a flat machine translation
- Word-by-word highlighting follows the translated text as it plays, so you can read along while you listen
- Toggle between the original article and the translation at any time
- Source language is detected automatically - no setup, no guessing
- Turn translation off with a single tap when you want the original

GREAT FOR LANGUAGE LEARNERS
- Listen to native-level articles in the language you're studying
- Compare the original and the translation side by side
- Train your ear with real-world writing, not textbook dialogue
- Use the word-by-word highlight to match spoken words to written text
