What's New in ReadAloud

1.9.3

October 31, 2026

ReadAloud 1.9.3 fixes a crash and a PDF import problem. • Fixed: the app could close unexpectedly shortly after opening, while a voice was being downloaded. • Fixed: a scanned PDF book that also had a page of real text (such as an information page) imported only that page. Now every page is read. A book imported that way needs to be imported again.

User reviews

An indispensable tool for students and teachers

This app completely changed how I study. I used to struggle with reading large amounts of PDFs and research papers, but now I can listen to them in a very natural voice while walking or before bed. The strongest feature for me is that it reads academic two-column PDFs in the correct order and automatically skips reference and footnote numbers — something I haven't found in any other app. It also works completely offline, which matters when I'm at the library with no signal. It helped me a lot with improving my English listening skills, and I currently use it to review my lectures. I highly recommend it to any student or researcher.

Nice 😎

ReadAloud is a handy app for turning PDFs, articles and other documents into audio. I like that it works offline and supports so many languages, so you don’t have to rely on an internet connection. The background playback, CarPlay support and ability to export audio to MP3 are great additions too. 🎧
