Pagecast reads the documents already on your phone out loud — PDF, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, DOCX, MOBI, AZW3. Import and listen. No account, no internet, no subscription. WHY PAGECAST • Truly offline. Speech is generated on your phone. Your files, titles and reading progress are never uploaded — listen on a plane or underground. • A bookstore built in. Free public-domain classics in seven languages — add one to your shelf and it's yours to read or listen to offline. • Buy once. There are no servers to pay for, so there is nothing to rent by the month. The free version is free forever; the lifetime upgrade is a single purchase you can restore on your next phone. • Natural pauses. Where a sentence breaks decides whether it sounds read or recited. The advanced sentence model places pauses at long clauses, quotes and dialogue. • Voices worth listening to. Super HD voices for English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and German, with intonation that follows punctuation; three offline HD voices for Chinese; every voice built into your device stays free. • Mixed-language text. A second language inside the text is read by a second voice — no more English read with a Chinese accent, or the other way round. WHAT YOU GET • Automatic chapter detection with a tappable table of contents; seek by sentence • Keeps playing on the lock screen and in the background, with lock-screen controls • Sleep timer, 0.75–2× speed, text size and line spacing, night mode • The sentence being read is highlighted as you listen • Scanned PDFs are recognized automatically • Import straight from Files, Mail or any app's Share / Open In FREE vs LIFETIME Free: unlimited imports, every format, built-in system voices, chapters, speed, sleep timer and night mode — forever. Lifetime (one-time purchase, no auto-renewal): the advanced sentence model, offline HD and Super voice downloads, and two-voice mixed-language reading. Pay once, restore on any new device.
