## What is Shelfo?

Shelfo turns anything you'd rather hear than read into an audiobook — made on your phone, in a voice you choose.

Paste a note, drop in a link, or open a PDF or Word file. Shelfo pulls out the text, reads it in a natural voice, and puts it on your shelf as a record you can play anywhere: offline, from the lock screen, chapter by chapter.

WHAT YOU CAN BRING
• Notes, speeches, emails — write or paste them
• Articles from a link, with the page clutter stripped away
• PDF, Word and text files, including scanned pages
• Any page from Safari, through the share sheet

HOW IT READS
• Ten voices, made on your phone — nothing you write is sent anywhere to be spoken
• Keeps your place, sentence by sentence, in every book
• Chapters: split a long piece, jump between parts, see where you are on the bar
• Playback speed, a sleep timer, and lock-screen controls

YOUR SHELF
• Every book gets a cover: one of your photos, a picture search, or the colours of its voice
• Highlights, listening time, and streaks
• Sign in with Apple, and your shelf follows you to a new phone

FREE AND PRO
Your first book is free, with the first voice. Shelfo Pro takes the limit off the shelf and opens every voice — monthly, yearly, or once for good.

Made for people with a pile of things to read and a commute, a kitchen, or a walk to read them in.
