Xarra: Text to Speech Reader

Your reading, ready when you are. Xarra 2.0 is ready for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 and visionOS 27, with more ways to find and start your reading: • Find Xarra documents in Spotlight and open the one you need • Use four new Shortcuts to resume Xarra, play your latest or chosen document, or open one without starting playback • Ask Siri to start listening or pick up where you left off We’ve also made everyday reading smoother: • Automatic voice selection now prefers the highest-quality voice already installed for a document’s language, while specific voice choices continue to take priority • Imports show clearer progress and are easier to cancel • Search your library to quickly find the audio document you want to hear • Playback controls make better use of space across devices, window sizes and larger text settings Finally, Xarra is now available in French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese. We’ve refreshed the existing translations too. Thank you for your support, and happy reading!
