What's New in ReadLens

1.1.3

September 18, 2026

Faster from photo to voice, and cleaner scans. - Listen right away: narration starts within seconds while the rest of the page is still being read, with the words highlighted as they are spoken. - Frame the page before you send it: drag the corners over the text you want, with a magnifier for precise edges. Cleaner scans, fewer stray words. - Multi-page reads open as soon as page 1 is ready. The other pages keep processing in the background and show their progress in the reader. - PDF import shows page previews while they load, so a long document no longer looks frozen. - Word highlighting stays in sync on pages with quotes, numbers and abbreviations.

Ok

You have to watch adds to get photos and you only get three photos from one add which is not enough to cover a chapter and then you have to pay like $99 to get unlimited photos

Response from developer

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to share this, and I'm sorry the free version felt limiting for studying a full chapter. That's really helpful feedback. A couple of things that might help: your free photos refill automatically every Monday, so you don't need to watch ads to get them back. If you need more for a heavy study week, there's also a weekly plan, which costs much less than the yearly one and lets you try unlimited photos without a long commitment. We're a small team and we're looking at how to make the free tier fairer for students reading longer chapters, so your comment is going straight into that discussion. If you have any questions or run into anything, just write to us at contact@blackboxcode.io and we'll be happy to help. :) Thanks again for using ReadLens!

Rubbish

Not worth the money and it take so much time to load overall not worth it and terrible.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for taking the time to tell us, and I'm sorry ReadLens let you down. You're right that waiting for a page to load is frustrating. Each page is turned into natural-sounding audio when you snap it, and that can take longer than it should, especially on a slower connection. We're working on making it faster. If you're willing to give it another go, email us at contact@blackboxcode.io with what you were reading, and I'll personally look into why it was so slow for you. Thank you.

Busy Readers

I’m really busy to finish my favorite books. Since I found this app I’ve been able to snap and listen them on my way home! It’s simply awesome 🚀

Useful app for college!

I love this app! Ever since I found it, I haven’t stopped using it for all my school readings I have to do. It makes it so much easier to be able to multitask and listen to my books without having to download the entire audiobook! You just snap a pic of the couple pages you want to read and boom you can listen to it while cleaning your house!
