Turn AI-written explainers, study notes, and briefings into personal audio you can take with you. Your AI tool has done the writing. You don't have to spend more time staring at a screen. Paste the text into MyListen, choose a voice, and generate audio right on your iPhone or iPad. Listen while commuting, walking, doing chores, or winding down. No subscription, account, or ads. MADE FOR LONG-FORM AI WRITING Paste and edit long texts, or import TXT, Markdown, EPUB, text-based PDF, Word (DOC/DOCX), and SRT/VTT subtitle files. Ask your AI tool to explain a complex topic, turn reading notes into a listening script, or prepare a briefing on topics you follow. Stories, book summaries, and other long-form writing can become episodes in your personal listening library, too. You can also share text or supported documents from other apps into MyListen. Edit titles and text after importing; if audio has already been generated, regenerate the revised text as a new version. NATURAL VOICES, GENERATED ON DEVICE High-quality English and Chinese text-to-speech models deliver natural-sounding voices with smooth, easy-to-follow delivery. English narration sounds natural, too. Audio is generated right on your iPhone or iPad, without uploading your writing to a cloud TTS service. LISTEN WHILE IT GENERATES Start listening once 8 seconds of audio are ready. The rest generates as you listen—no need to wait for the whole piece. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF MyListen remembers your listening position. Enjoy background playback, adjustable speed, and a sleep timer. Follow the synchronized transcript and return to saved episodes whenever you like. EXPORT YOUR AUDIO. COPY YOUR TEXT. Export completed episodes as M4A audio files or copy the full original text. You can also export all audio or all original-text documents separately from Settings. YOUR CONTENT STAYS WITH YOU Your text, generated audio, and listening progress are stored on your device. No account, no ads. WHY THE LARGER DOWNLOAD? MyListen includes high-quality English and Chinese text-to-speech models for natural-sounding narration on your device. These model files take up storage space, which makes the app download larger. Once installed, the built-in models need no separate download, and your text can be turned into speech without being sent to the cloud. MyListen reads the text you provide. It doesn't write stories or fetch news for you. Prepare your writing in your preferred AI tool, then bring it to MyListen. CONTACT & FEEDBACK Email: zsexdr123321456@gmail.com
