Readly vs iRead

Readly - AI is a PDF reader built for reading out loud—whether you're walking, commuting, or just prefer to speak instead of tap. READ ALOUD, TRACK AUTOMATICALLY Open any PDF and read the text out loud. The app listens and highlights the word you're on, so you stay in flow without touching the screen. Perfect for closing your step count while studying or finishing a chapter. WALK AND READ Designed for movement. Read while you walk; the app keeps your position and highlights as you speak. No need to stop and tap to advance. REVISE WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE After each session, get a short summary of your highlights and notes. On supported devices (iOS 26+), Apple Intelligence can also generate a quick multiple-choice quiz so you can test what you just read. Your data stays on device. FEATURES • Voice-driven highlighting—just read aloud • Session summaries and revision cards • Optional quick quiz (2–5 questions) from your last session • Apple Pencil support on iPad for notes on the page • Daily reading target and progress tracking • Library with recent PDFs and resume support • Bookmarks and reading trends Readly - AI helps you keep a reading habit that fits your life—walk, speak, and revise with confidence.
