The most interesting content in the world is written. Now, you can listen to all of it, clip, share, and more — with the brand-new TTSReader app for iPhone. Open the app and land on Discover — founding documents, famous speeches, classic books and stories, curated and ready to play. Your Library holds everything in one place — documents, ebooks, and rendered audio, with quick filters to find any of them. And the best part? It plays on CarPlay!!! And supports 100% OFFLINE playing!! Adding something new takes one tap: a blank page, your clipboard, a web page, a file — or let AI teach you about any topic or recap today’s news. Pick from clear, pleasant, natural-sounding voices — favorite the ones you love, and preview any of them with a tap. The reader is built for long, comfortable sessions — here’s Moby Dick in the warm sepia theme, chapter by chapter. As it reads, the current sentence is highlighted so your eyes and ears stay in sync — even at night. Default, Paper, Sepia, Night, or Black — the whole reading experience adapts to the theme you choose. Text size, font, colors — tune the page until it reads exactly the way you like. Select any passage to copy, translate, speak — or turn it straight into an audio clip. Your clip is rendered in seconds with the voice of your choice — save it to Files or share it anywhere. Render whole documents to audio in the cloud — download them for offline listening, or add them to your personal podcast channel. Rendered audio is yours to keep: save the MP3 to your device folders or share it with anyone. Built-in AI tools go further — summarize a document, translate it, or turn it into a two-host podcast. Reading something interesting in your browser? TTSReader is one share away. Share any page straight into TTSReader — it lands in your Library and starts reading aloud. Ebooks in your Files app? TTSReader picks them up too. Open any EPUB with TTSReader and it becomes a narrated book, chapters and all. And for the perfectionists: a pronunciation dictionary lets you teach your voices exactly how to say any word. That’s the new TTSReader for iPhone — the content you always meant to read, finally in your ears. The app uses Apple's standard LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ( https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ )
