## What is ReadiusAloud?

Readius Aloud turns your PDFs, EPUBs, and documents into something you can listen to - in a voice that actually sounds like a person, not a text-to-speech robot.

Every other read-aloud app makes the same trade: a free robotic voice, or a good voice locked behind a monthly subscription. Readius Aloud is neither. It's a one-time purchase. The natural voice is the only voice, and it's yours from the first page.

WHY IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT
Readius Aloud runs an on-device speech engine - not the compact system voice built into iPhone. The result is natural pacing and intonation instead of the flat, robotic read every competitor's free tier ships.

READ ANYTHING
• PDFs: with the real page layout, figures and footnotes intact
• EPUB books: with publisher formatting and a working table of contents
• Plain text and Markdown files

NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE
Readius Aloud remembers exactly where you stopped, down to the sentence - even after force-quitting the app or coming back days later. Resume on a 14-hour audiobook always picks up exactly where you left off.

READ ALONG
Follow the spoken sentence highlighted in real time on the original page or in clean reading text. Tap any word or sentence to jump narration there instantly.

LISTEN YOUR WAY
• Background playback with lock-screen and Control Center controls
• Pick from a library of natural voices
• Your whole library, with cover art, in one place

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your documents and your reading stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, no account required.

ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED
Pay once. Every format, every voice, every feature - no subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, ever.
