TTSReader - the globally trusted app for listening to text and generating speech - is now on iPhone!! - With all the extra benefits that come with that. Turns reading into a fully immersive audio experience. Offline listening, download as mp3, CarPlay, and LockScreen playing in the background so you can keep listening while doing anything else. The most interesting content in the world is written. Now, you can listen to all of it, clip, share, and more — with the brand-new TTSReader app for iPhone. No ads! No tracking! Not keeping or using your text or data to train AI models (or anything else other than generating the audio you asked for). By WellSource Ltd – where users are our top priority, trusted by millions since 2015. TTSReader was built to serve you - and we would love you to try it out, enjoy it, and give us feedback. Built bottom up from scratch, with the latest technologies, more than 600 natural sounding voices, iOS native, CarPlay native, offline support, sync across devices and more, the new TTSReader app is now the best text-to-speech solution on iPhone hands-down, with free basic voices and premium AI voices via the subscription plans to accommodate everyone's needs. Open the app and land on Discover — founding documents, famous speeches, classic books and stories, curated and ready to play. Your Library holds everything in one place — documents, ebooks, and rendered audio, with quick filters to find any of them. And the best part? It plays on CarPlay!!! And supports 100% OFFLINE playing!! Adding something new takes one tap: a blank page, your clipboard, a web page, a file — or let AI teach you about any topic or recap today’s news. Pick from clear, pleasant, natural-sounding voices — favorite the ones you love, and preview any of them with a tap. The reader is built for long, comfortable sessions — here’s Moby Dick in the warm sepia theme, chapter by chapter. As it reads, the current sentence is highlighted so your eyes and ears stay in sync — even at night. Default, Paper, Sepia, Night, or Black — the whole reading experience adapts to the theme you choose. Text size, font, colors — tune the page until it reads exactly the way you like. Select any passage to copy, translate, speak — or turn it straight into an audio clip. Your clip is rendered in seconds with the voice of your choice — save it to Files or share it anywhere. Render whole documents to audio in the cloud — download them for offline listening, or add them to your personal podcast channel. Rendered audio is yours to keep: save the MP3 to your device folders or share it with anyone. Built-in AI tools go further — summarize a document, translate it, or turn it into a two-host podcast. Reading something interesting in your browser? TTSReader is one share away. Share any page straight into TTSReader — it lands in your Library and starts reading aloud. Ebooks in your Files app? TTSReader picks them up too. Open any EPUB with TTSReader and it becomes a narrated book, chapters and all. And for the perfectionists: a pronunciation dictionary lets you teach your voices exactly how to say any word. That’s the new TTSReader for iPhone — the content you always meant to read, finally in your ears. The app uses Apple's standard LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ( https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ )
