Document Voice helps you scan, import, listen to, and understand documents with voice guidance—so letters, forms, reports, and PDFs are easier to follow without reading every line yourself. Whether you are reviewing mail at home, checking paperwork at work, studying course material, or helping a family member with an unfamiliar document, Document Voice turns printed and digital pages into spoken guidance you can act on. WHY DOCUMENT VOICE Important documents often arrive in small print, dense language, or multiple pages. Document Voice is built for those moments. Capture a document with your camera, import a photo or PDF, and move from raw text to understanding with tools designed for listening, not just looking. HOW IT WORKS Scan or import a document from your camera, photo library, or PDF file. Extract the text with on-device optical character recognition. Hear it read aloud, get a summary and explanation, or ask a spoken question about what you captured. Return anytime from scan history when you need to review a document again. KEY FEATURES • Scan documents with your camera • Import photos and PDFs • Read documents aloud • Summarize and explain in plain language • Ask questions with your voice • Multi-page understanding • Scan history stored on your device • Spoken guidance and silenced mode • Many interface languages, including English, Arabic, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Persian, Urdu, and Bengali BUILT FOR REAL DOCUMENT MOMENTS At home: understand utility notices, insurance letters, school forms, and household paperwork with less stress. At work: review reports, policies, and internal documents when you need the meaning quickly. For study and accessibility: hear material aloud, summarize it, and ask follow-up questions when reading on screen is tiring or difficult. FREE AND PRO Document Voice is free to download and includes scanning, importing, reading aloud, and scan history. Document Voice Pro unlocks AI-powered summaries, explanations, and document voice Q&A. Pro is available through monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions. You can restore purchases at any time. Free users receive a limited number of AI analysis actions before Pro is required. Scanning, importing, and read-aloud features remain available outside those AI-powered actions. PRIVACY AND CONTROL Scan history and app preferences are stored on your device. You can delete history from within the app, manage permissions in system settings, and choose how much you rely on optional AI features. Document Voice helps you understand documents more easily. It does not replace professional legal, medical, financial, or other specialist advice. START WITH ONE DOCUMENT Open Document Voice, scan or import a page, and hear what it says. When you need more than raw text, upgrade to Pro for summaries, explanations, and voice Q&A that help complex documents feel clearer, faster, and easier to use.
