Read To Me is a practical text-to-speech app designed for moments when internet access is unavailable or unreliable. It lets you capture, import, or write text entirely offline, then listen to it read aloud using iOS’s built-in speech engine. The app focuses on turning written content into accessible audio while keeping everything stored locally, organized, and reusable, making it useful for reading documents, articles, notes, or stories anytime and anywhere. Key Features: - Offline text-to-speech using iOS system voices, with no internet required - Multiple ways to add text: scan with camera (on-device OCR), import PDF or TXT files, or paste and type manually - Clean reader view with playback controls and real-time word highlighting - Per-text reader settings, including voice, accent, and reading speed, saved individually for each text - Personal library with collections to organize saved texts and access them later - Support for sharing and exporting saved texts, and sharing original files when available - Fully local data storage with persistent texts, collections, and reader preferences Read To Me helps you convert written content into spoken audio in a reliable and controlled way, without depending on connectivity or external services. By combining offline text capture, customizable reading settings, and an organized library, the app supports focused listening, and flexible reading habits. Its clear purpose, persistent data model, and offline-first design make it a practical tool for everyday use rather than a simple or disposable utility.
