BookSpoken turns any printed book into a read-along audiobook, right on your iPhone. Point your camera at the pages. BookSpoken reads them aloud in a natural, human-sounding voice and highlights each word as it speaks, so your eyes and ears stay in the same place. Hearing and seeing a sentence at once is how reading clicks. It is made for anyone who reads better by ear: people with dyslexia, readers learning English, students working through a dense chapter, tired eyes at the end of a long day, or anyone who simply prefers to listen. WHY BOOKSPOKEN A real voice, not a robot. The natural on-device voice sounds nothing like the built-in phone reader. Follow along. Every word is highlighted as it is spoken, so you never lose your place. Works on paper. Scan a physical book, a textbook, a magazine, a printout, anything printed. Completely private. Your photos of the pages and the text never leave your phone. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked. Works offline. The voice runs entirely on your device, so no signal is needed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap the cover, then the pages. 2. BookSpoken reads the text and tidies it up. 3. Press play and follow along, word by word. FREE TO TRY Read the first pages of any book for free. A single one-time purchase unlocks every page of every book you scan, forever. No subscription, no account.
