## What is Text to Speech?

Turn anything you need to read into audio.

Text to Speech: Zen reads text, PDFs, documents, e-books, webpages and scanned pages aloud. Paste, import, scan or add a link, choose a voice, and press play.

LISTEN YOUR WAY

Use voices available on your device at no cost. Upgrade to expressive AI voices or create a personal voice clone from a short recording. Adjust playback from 0.6× to 2× and follow along with word highlighting where supported.

BRING YOUR READING INTO ZEN

• Type or paste text
• Import PDF, DOCX, EPUB, FB2, TXT and other text-based files
• Add a webpage link to extract readable article text
• Scan printed text with your camera or photo library
• Create reusable phrase lists

TURN READING TIME INTO LISTENING TIME

Study notes, reports, long articles and e-books—turn your backlog into audio. Zen remembers your playback progress, so you can return to a document and continue where you left off.

FOR STUDY

Listen to notes, research and course materials. Follow the text when highlighting is available, or simply listen at a pace that works for you.

FOR WORK

Catch up on reports, documents and articles when you would rather listen than stare at another screen.

FOR READING COMFORT

Switch from reading to listening when screens feel tiring. Choose a voice and speed that feel comfortable.

SAVE THE AUDIO

Premium can export supported AI narration as an MP3 after it has been generated.
