Listen to your books while you run, train or commute
The books you mean to read don't have to wait for a quiet evening. Auto-Reader reads any ebook, PDF or document aloud in a natural voice, so a run, a gym session or a train ride becomes reading time.
Made for hands-free listening
- Background play with lock-screen controls, so your phone can stay in your pocket or armband
- Bluetooth headphone controls to pause and skip without looking
- Android Auto controls for the drive
- Speeds up to 2.5x for when you want to get through more
Works offline, even outside coverage
The natural voices are generated on your phone, so listening keeps going without a signal: in a basement gym, on the underground or on a long run outside coverage. No streaming means no buffering and no mobile data used for narration.
Calming background sounds
Add a gentle background sound under the narration if you like. Some people find it helps them stay focused on a busy commute or wind down after a hard session.
Your books, not a catalogue
Auto-Reader reads what you already have: EPUBs, PDFs, documents and even scanned pages, plus free public-domain classics you can add in one tap. Want a file to play elsewhere? Use the audiobook maker to export a book as audio. And back at your desk, the text to speech reader highlights each word so you can switch between reading and listening.
Pick up where you left off
Your place is saved as you listen. If it has been a few days, Catch me up gives a quick recap of where you were. For study material, Ask AI can answer questions about what you just heard, with cited sources.
