EAS Tools vs VoiceForge Reader

App‑based EAS / SAME Tools that run entirely locally on your phone. Packed to the brim with features, such as a full decoder, encoder, text crawl generator, audio splicer, phoneme converter/generator, and video/audio muxer. All tools are client‑side and work offline.

Turn text, printed pages and PDFs into speech. VoiceForge Reader helps you listen to what you choose, follow the words as they are spoken, and read alongside a translation. READ WITH THE ACTION BUTTON On a compatible iPhone, follow the in-app guide to add the VoiceForge Reader shortcut. Tap Open Action Button Settings, choose Shortcut, then select VoiceForge Reader. Copy text, then press and hold the Action Button to begin reading in the background. The step-by-step guide is available in Settings and Help. CHOOSE YOUR VOICE Use Microsoft Edge voices online or installed Apple system voices on your device. Save language and voice choices separately for each source, preview voices, and find guidance for downloading more Apple voices in iOS Settings. BRING YOUR OWN TEXT Paste text, share it from another app, import a PDF or text file, or scan a printed page. Crop, rotate and recognize text locally with the document scanner. TRANSLATE AND FOLLOW ALONG Translate supported language pairs with Apple's on-device translation services. View original and translated text in synchronized panes, follow karaoke highlights, and tap words to move through the reading. Longer documents can translate progressively as reading continues. STAY IN CONTROL Adjust playback from 0.5x to 2.0x, pause, seek and restart. Continue listening in the background, with Lock Screen and Dynamic Island controls on supported devices. The interface is available in English, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Chinese. Speech voices and translation languages have their own availability. Microsoft Edge voices require an internet connection and send the selected text to Microsoft for speech generation. Installed Apple voices render speech on your device. OCR is local. Apple voices and translation resources may need downloading, and supported languages vary. Action Button and Dynamic Island features require compatible hardware and iOS versions. Edge data transfer requires your permission, which you can withdraw in Settings. No account is required.
