Shiori turns your textbooks and printouts into a reading experience tuned to you. Take a photo of any page (or import PDFs, web pages, or pasted text), then dial in font size, line height, letter spacing, and background color until reading feels easy. Pair it with read-aloud, AI-estimated furigana, or word-by-word focus to fit your own style. Built for students who want reading to feel less effortful. 【Features】 • Capture pages with the camera, or import from Photos, PDF, URL, or pasted text • Adjust font size, line height, letter spacing, and background presets live • 3-zone reader: focus on one chunk at a time, with past and upcoming text in view • Highlight reader: see the whole text with the current line, sentence, or word emphasized • Synced text-to-speech using on-device voices • AI-estimated furigana on Japanese text (Apple Intelligence, on-device) • Wakachi (auto-spacing) for Japanese text • UD Digital Kyokasho-tai font and reader-friendly background presets • Accessibility: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion respected 【When you want to】 • Get through a long passage tonight • Review your textbook with just your phone • Read aloud while studying for a test • Skip carrying around printouts • Make small text feel comfortable to read • Follow along with audio and text together 【Privacy】 Imported text and reading positions stay on your device. OCR runs on-device with Apple's Vision framework, and read-aloud uses AVSpeechSynthesizer. No content is sent to a server. AI furigana runs on Apple Intelligence's on-device Foundation Models. Shiori is a reading aid, not a medical device. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | A bookmark | $0.99 | one-time | | A paperback | $1.99 | one-time | | A textbook | $5.99 | one-time | | A hardcover | $9.99 | one-time | | A first edition | $19.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 0.1.4 — 2026-07-14 0.1.4 highlights: • New "Tell a friend" option in Settings — share Shiori with someone who might need it • A one-time share suggestion appears when you finish reading a document ### 0.1.3 — 2026-07-12 0.1.3 highlights: • Adjust the current zone's text size and line count in the 3-zone reader • Highlight mode now keeps the focused line anchored on screen — no more manual scrolling • Chunk granularity expanded to five levels with a new "Slightly long" between Standard and Long • Fine-tune the "Long" chunk length with a slider ### 0.1.2 — 2026-06-29 0.1.1 highlights: • Photo capture: tilt and perspective correction with free-region trimming • Greatly improved Japanese vertical text recognition • Capture all in-region text at once from photo / camera • New "longer" chunk granularity to avoid extremes • Rename documents from the library • Two new tip tiers: "A hardcover" and "A first edition" • Smoother drag and tap navigation in 3-zone reader ### 0.1.1 — 2026-05-01 0.1.1 highlights: • Photo capture: tilt and perspective correction with free-region trimming • Greatly improved Japanese vertical text recognition • Capture all in-region text at once from photo / camera • New "longer" chunk granularity to avoid extremes • Rename documents from the library • Two new tip tiers: "A hardcover" and "A first edition" • Smoother drag and tap navigation in 3-zone reader ### 1.0 — 2026-04-29 No release notes. ## More apps by Hirosuke Yonekubo - [Kotoba Erabi](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kotoba-erabi/id1642048649) - [Sekigae-kun: Seating Chart](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sekigae-kun-seating-chart/id6759973394) - [GAUGE - Level Ruler Protractor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gauge-level-ruler-protractor/id6761431511) - [TUNE — 精密音具](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tune/id6761765713) All apps by Hirosuke Yonekubo: https://appshunter.io/developer/1625472869 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
