## What is Sonare?

Sonare turns written text into spoken audio, entirely on your device.

Paste in an article, import a document from your Files app, or share directly from Safari, Sonare reads it aloud in a natural-sounding voice with each word highlighted in real time, so you can follow along, proofread, or simply listen hands-free.

Nothing leaves your phone. Ever. There are no accounts to create, no servers processing your text, and no internet connection required. Sonare works the same on a plane as it does at your desk.

FEATURES

· On-device text-to-speech, all audio is generated locally using a high-quality neural voice model
· Word-level highlighting, each word lights up in sync with the audio so you always know your place
· Import from anywhere, clipboard, Safari share sheet, Files app, or any app that can share text
· Multiple voices, choose from a range of natural-sounding voices
· Playback speed control, slow it down for complex material or speed it up when you're in a hurry
· Offline, always, no Wi-Fi, no mobile data, no problem
