Turn anything you need to read into audio. Text to Speech: Zen reads text, PDFs, documents, e-books, webpages and scanned pages aloud. Paste, import, scan or add a link, choose a voice, and press play. LISTEN YOUR WAY Use voices available on your device at no cost. Upgrade to expressive AI voices or create a personal voice clone from a short recording. Adjust playback from 0.6× to 2× and follow along with word highlighting where supported. BRING YOUR READING INTO ZEN • Type or paste text • Import PDF, DOCX, EPUB, FB2, TXT and other text-based files • Add a webpage link to extract readable article text • Scan printed text with your camera or photo library • Create reusable phrase lists TURN READING TIME INTO LISTENING TIME Study notes, reports, long articles and e-books—turn your backlog into audio. Zen remembers your playback progress, so you can return to a document and continue where you left off. FOR STUDY Listen to notes, research and course materials. Follow the text when highlighting is available, or simply listen at a pace that works for you. FOR WORK Catch up on reports, documents and articles when you would rather listen than stare at another screen. FOR READING COMFORT Switch from reading to listening when screens feel tiring.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deimic at none against Text to Speech's 2. Deimic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
