AudioThru vs Audifolio

AudioThru is a reading assistant that turns text from books, documents, images and websites into content you can listen to. KEY FEATURES - Capture a page or choose an image for on-device text recognition. - Listen using voices provided by your operating system. - Adjust speed, pause, resume and control reading by voice. - Save pages and bookmarks, keep history and resume your latest session. - Track personal listening achievements on your device. - Optionally sign in with Google or Apple to sync listening totals, join the leaderboard and receive notifications. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Scans, recognized text, reading content and microphone audio files are not uploaded to the account server or Analytics. If you explicitly join the leaderboard, the app syncs only aggregate listening totals by date, language and reading source—not what you read. Common commands are handled on device. When experimental AI is enabled, an unrecognized command may send its text transcript and limited context to AudioThru services to determine an action. Core reading features work without an account, and account deletion is available directly in the app.
