About

Summarize AI Reader

Features

TL;DR — Share any article from Safari or Apple News and Summarize AI Reader gives you an AI summary, read aloud, without leaving the page. Brief, executive or detailed. Your iPhone's own voice is free and unlimited; 18 studio narrators are available on paid plans. 3-day free trial. ONE TAP FROM SAFARI AND APPLE NEWS You're reading in Safari or Apple News. Hit share, pick Summarize AI Reader. The AI reads the story, writes a summary, and starts playing right there in the share sheet. No app switching, no copy and paste, no losing your place. Apple News shares a short link instead of the article, so most summarizers choke on it. Summarize AI Reader follows that link through to the full story and summarizes the real thing. CHOOSE HOW DEEP YOU GO Brief gives you 4 to 7 sentences of core facts. Executive Synthesis groups the key themes into spoken bullets. Detailed runs 8 to 12 sentences with the background, names and figures. Every depth is cached, so switching back and forth never costs you twice. THE SUMMARY IS THE PRODUCT This isn't text-to-speech bolted onto a browser. The AI reads for meaning, cuts the filler, and hands you the actual point of the page. Want the original wording instead? Switch to Full Page and hear every word. TWO WAYS TO LISTEN Your iPhone's own built-in voice reads summaries and full articles free and unlimited on every plan. It works offline and is never counted against you. Or pick one of 18 studio AI narrators: signature characters, broadcast anchors and everyday voices. Adjust speed from 0.75x to 2x. Audio plays in the background with your screen locked, so a commute or a walk becomes reading time. HANDS FREE Say "Siri, Summarize" and whatever you're reading gets summarized and played back. KEEPS YOUR PLACE Your summaries live in a library with progress tracking and finished markers, so you always know what you've gotten through and what's next. EASIER ON YOUR EYES The included Safari dark mode extension flips any website to a black background with light text, cutting glare and eye strain. VETERAN-OWNED Freedom isn't free, and neither is the support our veterans deserve. Summarize AI Reader is proudly veteran-owned and developed. Three percent of every sale goes to veteran service organizations and groups working to end veteran homelessness. PLANS Start with a 3-day free trial that includes 5 summaries and 5 studio narrations. Basic, $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year: 300 summaries a month, read in your device's own voice, with unlimited device-voice reading. Reader, $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year: 300 summaries and 40 studio narrations a month, plus unlimited device-voice reading. Power, $24.99 per month or $199 per year: 500 summaries and 150 studio narrations a month, plus unlimited device-voice reading. Busy month? A one-time top-up adds 25 studio narrations for $4.99. WHY STUDIO NARRATION IS COUNTED Your iPhone's own voice runs on-device, costs us nothing, and is unlimited on every plan. Studio narration is produced by an outside AI voice service that bills per character, so it's counted rather than unlimited — that keeps plans affordable. If you run out mid-article, reading continues in your device voice rather than stopping. Apple News+ issues and stories published only inside Apple News have no web version, so they cannot be summarized. AI summaries can be incomplete or wrong. For anything consequential, read the original article. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your free trial converts to the plan you selected unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
