Turn any text into a hands-free audiobook. ReadAloud reads EPUB, PDF, and TXT files in French, English, Cantonese, or Mandarin using Apple's high-quality on-device voices — perfect for commuting, exercising, or resting your eyes. READING + LISTENING, TOGETHER Two reading modes that adapt to how you want to consume content: • Voice + Reading — see the full text with the current sentence highlighted as it's being read. • Listen-Only — distraction-free karaoke view showing the previous, current, and next sentences in large text. Ideal for closing your eyes and just listening. SUPPORTED FORMATS • EPUB (2 & 3) — automatic chapter detection • PDF — text extraction with chapter inference • TXT — plain text with smart chapter splitting • Clipboard — paste any article instantly • Printed pages — photograph a book or document and ReadAloud recognises the text on your device, then reads it aloud. Scanned PDFs with no text layer can be recognised the same way. Nothing is uploaded. MULTILINGUAL VOICES Switch between four voice languages — each remembers its own speed: • French (fr-FR / fr-CA) — choose an installed French voice • Cantonese (zh-HK) — 阿成, 善怡, and more • Mandarin (zh-CN / zh-TW) — 冬梅 (Liaoning), 浩浩 (Shaanxi), 盼盼 (Sichuan), 美嘉 (Taiwan), and others • English (en-US / en-GB / en-AU / en-IN) — Samantha, Daniel, Karen, and any installed English voice TRADITIONAL — SIMPLIFIED Built-in OpenCC engine converts between scripts at the word level — much more accurate than character-by-character mapping. Switch instantly without re-importing your book. SMART READING EXPERIENCE • Sentence-level highlighting that follows the voice • Optional auto-scroll follows the spoken position; off by default and enabled in Settings • "Return to reading position" floating button when you scroll away • Tap-and-hold any text: read from here, look it up in the dictionary, translate it, highlight it, or fix how a word is pronounced • Highlights in four colours, with notes, exportable as Markdown • Edit a chapter's text when an import needs proofreading • Search within books with jump-to-result • Auto-detected chapters with table of contents • Background audio: keep listening with the screen locked • Built-in sleep timer (15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 min) with soft fade-out CUSTOMISE EVERYTHING • Font size, line spacing, font family (serif, rounded, monospaced) • Three themes: dark, light, sepia • Orientation lock (auto / portrait / landscape) • Per-language playback speed • Voice gender preference (auto, male, female) 100% PRIVATE ReadAloud was built around a simple principle: your reading is none of our business. • No accounts, no sign-up, no login. • No analytics, no tracking, no ads. • Imported text is processed on-device. ReadAloud does not upload your books to our servers. • Books and reading progress are stored locally. • The app only uses the network when you open the optional free book library and choose a book to download. YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR BOOKS Choose the interface and speech language separately. French and English users start with a matching sample book and see matching books first on the free shelf. For Chinese text, choose Cantonese or Mandarin voices and switch between Traditional and Simplified scripts. OPTIONAL SUPPORT All reading and listening features are free. Optional support in Settings unlocks an exclusive app icon and a thank-you mark. There are no ads or subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is device support: 聽閱 ReadAloud at 2 against 易用典's —. 易用典's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
