Timber - Text to Speech, Voice

Timber is a reader that listens with you. Paste an article from Safari or any browser, drop in a book, or just snap a page with your camera — Timber turns it into clean, beautiful text and reads it aloud in a voice you choose, today. There is even a companion desktop app that moves your browser tabs into your ears. Ever asked Safari to read a page aloud and had it stop halfway through, or skip the parts that mattered? That is not you missing a setting. Most reader tools simply are not built to get the whole article. Timber pulls the full text out first, cleanly, before it ever starts speaking. The article you paste is the article you hear, start to finish. It was built by a teacher who spent years watching kids fight through words they desperately wanted to understand, and who couldn't find one app that read beautifully, respected privacy, and didn't hold the basics hostage. WHAT TIMBER PROMISES • No account. No sign-up. Open it and read. • The core reader is free — and stays free. • What you read is nobody's business. Articles, books, and clipboard text are processed on your device. What you read won't be shared. VOICES, PROPERLY • Every Apple voice on your device works, free — including Enhanced and Premium. • Hundreds of neural voices across dozens of languages, downloaded on demand and spoken entirely on your device. • Every voice library includes a free male and female voice in your language. No teaser locked behind a trial. • Record a reference of your own voice and Timber can read in it — created on device, never uploaded. A READER THAT FEELS LIKE PAPER • Warm parchment design — an open book under a reading lamp, not a tech product. • Word-by-word highlighting that keeps pace at every speed, 0.5× to 3×. • Serif reading typography you can tune: size, face, line spacing. Six palettes built in. BRING ANYTHING • Paste a link and Timber extracts the article — no ads, no popups, just the text. • Share from Safari or any browser, import PDFs and text, follow RSS feeds. • Point your camera at a printed page and Timber reads it back to you. • Browse 70,000+ free public-domain books from Project Gutenberg. • Translate articles on device, or get a quick on-device summary — no cloud, no AI account. • Export any article as spoken audio to take with you. • Optional iCloud sync keeps your library on all your devices. TIMBER PRO (optional, one subscription or pay once) The free reader is complete. Pro unlocks the full neural voice catalog beyond each library's free pair, every palette, and ongoing personal-voice listening after the free 24-hour trial. Monthly, yearly, or lifetime — and the trial simply lapses; it never auto-charges. Privacy Policy: https://timberreader.com/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Timber was made for the kid in the back row who hears a story better than they can read it — and for everyone whose eyes are tired, busy, or somewhere else. If that's you, welcome.
