Rishi Reader vs Brio Reader

Rishi turns the books on your devices into conversations. Read your EPUB and PDF library on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, then ask questions, get summaries, or talk through a passage out loud — all without leaving the page. Bring your own books. Drop EPUB or PDF files into Rishi and they live in a fast, searchable library with covers, progress, and a Reading Now shelf. Highlights and notes follow you across devices. Read the way you like. A focused, customizable reader handles fixed-layout and reflowable EPUBs, scanned PDFs with a real text layer, and table-of-contents jumps. Pick light, dark, or sepia. Adjust font size and spacing. Search every page. Pick up where you left off. Open a book on your Mac, keep reading on iPhone on the train, finish on iPad in bed — Rishi syncs your position, highlights, and notes in the background using silent push. Chat with any book. Ask "what does this chapter argue?" or "summarize this scene," and Rishi answers grounded in the book you're reading. Conversations are saved per-book and per-session, so you can come back to the thread later. Talk it through. Real-time voice chat lets you have a natural spoken conversation about what you’re reading — ideal for studying, language practice, or thinking out loud on a walk.

No login. No account. No data collection. Brio Reader is a private book reader for the books and web pages already on your phone. There is nothing to sign up for. Brio does not collect your books, saved pages, reading history, or personal library. They stay on your device. READ AND WATCH AT THE SAME TIME Keep a website video playing in a movable mini player while you turn the pages of a book. Background playback can continue when you leave the screen or turn it off. It is a reading setup a typical ebook reader does not give you. BRING YOUR OWN LIBRARY Import EPUB, PDF, TXT, or ZIP files already on your phone. Move by chapter, turn pages, and adjust type size, colors, and themes for comfortable reading. TURN THE WEB INTO A READER Open a web page inside Brio, clear away distractions, fit the text to your screen, hear it read aloud, and save the clean article for offline reading. LISTEN YOUR WAY Use voices already installed on your device, change speaking speed, set a sleep timer, and control playback from the lock screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No login. No account. No data collection. No ads and no cloud library. Your content and backups stay on your phone, under your control. BUILT FOR MULTILINGUAL READING Use English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese. Choose the reading voice, and convert book text between Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Try every reading feature for 30 days. If Brio fits the way you read, unlock it once—no subscription. Brio presents PDF and EPUB files as clean extracted text rather than a print layout. Password-protected or DRM files and scanned-only documents cannot be opened; OCR is not included.
