PageCache vs Play Text (TTS)

PageCache lets you save any webpage or article for offline reading — no subscription, no clutter, just your reading list. Tap the share button in Safari or any browser, and PageCache instantly captures the full page — images, formatting, and all — so you can read it later without an internet connection. FEATURES • One-tap saving from Safari and any app with a share sheet • Full offline capture — reads exactly like the original page • Organize with tags to keep your reading list tidy • Search across all your saved pages instantly • Bookmark mode for pages you want to revisit live • Clean, distraction-free reading experience Perfect for long reads, research, recipes, news articles, or anything you want to come back to later.

We got fed up with paying for overpriced subscriptions just to have text read aloud — basic apps that, more often than not, turned out too buggy to actually rely on. So we put our AI tools and skills to work and built Play Text in a single evening. We hope it helps you too. Play Text turns anything you want to read into audio — and highlights each word as it's spoken, so you can listen and follow along at the same time. Drop in text from almost anywhere and press play: • Paste & Play — read whatever's on your clipboard • Web links — paste a URL and Play Text pulls out the readable article, skipping the menus, ads, and clutter • Files — open PDF, TXT, Markdown, RTF, or HTML documents • Share sheet — send selected text, a link, or a file straight from any other app A single, clean reading panel shows the full text and sweeps a highlight across each word as the voice reaches it — great for focus, reading along, language learning, proofreading, or accessibility. VOICES • Kokoro — the default. A high-fidelity neural voice that runs entirely on your device, with no account, no key, and no network. • Apple on-device voice — another fully offline option, available on every device. • ElevenLabs — optional cloud voices if you add your own API key. Adjust the reading speed to taste, from a relaxed pace up to nearly double speed. KEEPS PLAYING Audio continues when you lock your phone or switch apps, with Now Playing controls on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your engine, voice, and speed settings sync over iCloud, so Play Text feels the same everywhere you use it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The default Kokoro and Apple voices run completely on-device — your text never leaves your phone. ElevenLabs is strictly opt-in and only used if you choose to add your own key.
