Chimereader reads your PDFs, EPUBs and web pages aloud in a natural AI voice, and highlights each word on the page as it's read. • One subscription for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Sync your books, where you left off, bookmarks and favourites across your devices with iCloud • Natural AI voices you can listen to for hours • Follow along with word or sentence highlighting, or both, and choose your own highlight colour • Character voices (experimental): dialogue in novels is read in distinct male and female voices, separate from the narrator, and you choose all three voices. Available on compatible devices • Skips headers, footers, page numbers and figures, so you hear just the text • Listen to web pages right on the website, including ones you're signed in to • Private by design: your documents are read on your device and never sent to our servers. With sync on, they are kept in your own iCloud account Built for people with more reading than time: students, researchers, and anyone who gets through papers on a commute or a walk. Reading documents takes the Chimereader Monthly subscription, at the price shown in the app before you subscribe. New subscribers start with a one-month free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

The app contains no violence, profanity, sexual content, gambling or drug references of its own, and shows no ads.
