One player, three ways to read

Pick what you read. Nothing plays sound until you tap for it.

Automatic playback in reading order.
Full page, zoom to a panel, then on to the next one — with narration.

The same short passage, read aloud. Choose a voice and press play.

Supertonic 3 · normal speed · ~15 s

Narration by Supertonic 3, and Nabra for Modern Standard Arabic — the same on-device engines the app uses. Neural voices are a one-time download in the app; after that they work offline.

Two ways to enjoy it

Close your eyes, or follow along

🎧

Listen

Screen-off narration with background playback, plus lock-screen and earbud controls.

  • Pause and resume
  • Speed, 0.5× to 2.5×
  • Sleep check — asks “Still listening?”; no answer and it pauses and goes back to where you last answered
  • Sleep story — in the last 10 minutes the voice slows a little and fades, then the music
  • Sleep timer, or stop at the end of a chapter
  • Calming background sound — rain, hum or fire
  • Lock-screen and earbud controls
  • Skip by passage
  • Manual zoom
  • Back to full page
  • Save a book as audio files
Also in the app

Keep listening on top of other apps

The player floats over whatever you are doing, so the story keeps going while you scroll, chat or work.

For manga lovers

Read any manga. Hear it in your language.

Drop in raw Japanese pages. Auto-Reader finds the text, translates it, and plays the story panel by panel — on your phone.

🈴

Read raw manga in your language

On-device OCR reads the Japanese in every bubble, then translates it. No waiting for a fan release.

🗣️

Native voice, translated captions

Hear the original Japanese voice while English captions show the meaning. Real dialogue, real rhythm.

🎭

Character voices beta

Auto-Reader spots who is speaking and gives bubbles different voices, so a scene sounds like a scene.

🎬

Panel by panel, hands-free

Panels glide in reading order and the page turns itself when the narration ends.

🖼️

Translate right on the page

See the translation set in place over the original bubbles, then keep reading.

🔒

Offline and private

Text recognition, translation and voices run on your phone. No account, and your library stays yours.

    Open a CBZ, PDF or folder of images.

  2. Choose how to hear it

Under the hood

Quietly powerful

The heavy lifting happens on your device by default — your library isn't uploaded unless you turn on an optional cloud feature.

Narration with no gaps

Lifelike voices are generated on your phone and chained passage to passage, so the story flows without dead air. You stop noticing the app and just hear the book.

Arabic, done properly

Nabra, a natural Modern Standard Arabic voice, right-to-left controls, and whole-word highlighting — Arabic text is never handed to an English voice.

Cinematic playback

Auto-detected panels zoom in reading order and narrate, advancing themselves when the speech ends — true hands-free reading.

Read it in your language

A built-in AI translator reads foreign books and manga aloud in 100+ languages — Arabic, Japanese and far beyond — running on your phone by default. Private, offline, no account.

On-device intelligence

OCR (incl. Japanese), an offline dictionary, and AI Explain/Summarize on supported phones — all without a server.

Acrobat-crisp zoom

PDFs and comics re-render sharply as you zoom — even during playback — tuned to your phone's capability.

Mark up & export

Highlight, underline, sign and fill forms, then split-export a small, sharp annotated PDF.

Questions

Good to know

What can it read?

Comics and manga (CBZ, CBR, CBT, image folders), PDFs, EPUB (both image and text), and plain text — TXT, Markdown, HTML, FB2, MOBI.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Narration, OCR, the dictionary and on-device translation run on your device with no connection. The internet is used only for optional features you turn on — the online dictionary lookup and stronger cloud translation.

Is my reading private?

By default, everything runs on your device — OCR, translation, dictionary and AI — and your library is never uploaded. The only optional online features are the ones you switch on yourself (online dictionary look-up and web translation); they send only the text you select, at that moment, and we store nothing. They are off by default.

What languages are supported?

The built-in AI translator covers 100+ languages — read a book or manga in one language and hear it narrated in yours, on-device by default. OCR reads Latin scripts and Japanese. Arabic readers: قارئ كتب AI.

How much does it cost?

Reading and narration are free. Premium is $2 a month, or $5 once for lifetime access at the launch price (normally $20). It unlocks whole-book translation, unlimited on-device AI, Manga OCR, magic erase and all Premium themes.
