Web記事・メール・メルマガ・PDF・メモなどの長文テキストを、タップひとつで音声に変換。通勤・家事・運動しながら「耳で読む」ながら聴きオーディオブックアプリです。 完全無料・アカウント登録不要・広告なし。読みたいのに時間がない——そんなテキストを、目と手が離せないときでも耳からインプットできます。 ■ 一度だけ合成、あとは何度でも テキストは端末内で一度だけ音声(.m4a)に変換してキャッシュします。二度目以降は再生成しないので、オフラインでも、何度でも、すぐに聴けます。通信量もかかりません。 ■ たくさんの取り込み方法 ・共有シート(Safari やニュースアプリの「共有」から) ・アクション拡張「Nagaraで聴く」(表示中のページや選択テキストをそのまま) ・テキストを貼り付け/URLを入力 ・テキスト・Markdown・PDF ファイルを開く ・メール・メルマガの丸ごと取り込み(メールの「印刷」からプレビューを共有して「Nagara」を選択) ・ショートカット/App Intents 連携 ■ メルマガ・長文メールに強い Gmail などで届く長いメルマガも、「印刷」からの共有でまるごと音声化。長文は段落単位で安定して合成し、URL や区切り線などの読み上げに不向きなノイズは取り込み時に自動で除去します。PDF の本文抽出も端末内で完結し、外部に送信されません。 ■ 聴きやすい再生 ・シークバーで頭出し・巻き戻し ・再生速度の変更(0.5倍〜3倍) ・読み上げ位置を文単位でハイライト表示(目で追うことも) ・バックグラウンド再生・ロック画面/コントロールセンター操作 ・スリープタイマー ・「続きを聴く」で前回の続きから ■ 端末内で完結・プライバシー重視 音声合成は Apple の読み上げ機能を使い、端末内で処理します。アカウント登録は不要。行動のトラッキングや広告はありません。ユーザーのテキストを収集・送信することもありません(URLから記事本文を取得する場合のみ、その取得のために通信します)。 ■ こんな方に ・積読の記事や「あとで読む」を消化したい ・通勤・通学、家事、運動の時間を学びに変えたい ・目が疲れる/画面を見続けられないときに情報を得たい ・耳で復習・インプットする習慣をつくりたい さあ、読む時間を、聴く時間に。Nagara で今日から“ながら聴き”を始めましょう。 ※ より自然な読み上げには、iOS の「設定 App →アクセシビリティ→読み上げコンテンツ→声」から高品質音声(Enhanced/Premium)のダウンロードをおすすめします。

Save a thought. Return to it by listening. Yomine brings saved text, notes, and reading aloud together on your iPhone. Paste text, keep images, organize pages, and listen with Apple's voices at your own pace. MORE ROOM TO READ ON IPHONE DUO The layout adapts to the available screen width. On a wider display, keep your menu beside a note, or open a note's web link alongside the text. On a compact display, focus on one view at a time. READ AND LISTEN • Play, pause, and move to the previous or next sentence. • Adjust the reading speed and choose an available voice. • The automatic voice uses Japanese or English according to the text. Your chosen voice takes priority. • Follow the current sentence and resume from your saved position. • Select text to start reading from that point. • Change text size, line spacing, and light or dark appearance. SAVE AND ORGANIZE • Paste text and images into pages. • Share selected text from compatible apps, review it, then import it when you open Yomine. • Organize with folders, tags, favorites, search, and links between pages. • Keep the last 10 text revisions and restore pages from Trash. BACK UP AND TAKE YOUR NOTES WITH YOU • Export a JSON backup including images, history, and reading positions. • Export standalone HTML with images, or plain text. • After the one-time unlock, connect Google Drive for manual sync, backup, and restore. Simultaneous edits are kept as conflict copies. 14-DAY FREE TRIAL, THEN A ONE-TIME UNLOCK Try adding, editing, and listening to text free for 14 days. Google Drive features require the one-time purchase. After the trial, you can still view and export saved text. Purchase once to keep editing and listening. There is no subscription and no automatic charge when the trial ends. The purchase screen shows your local App Store price. Yomine uses Apple's speech features available on your iPhone. It does not send your text to an external text-to-speech API. There are no ads or third-party behavioral tracking SDKs. Voice availability and pasted formatting depend on your device and the source app. Sharing a URL saves the URL; Yomine does not automatically fetch a full web article. Requires iOS 17 or later.
