You don't have to make a file to listen. Read Aloud plays any document right away, and it's built for long reads:
- Sentence highlighting so you can follow along or look away
- Voice, speed and pitch that suit you
- Sleep timer and bookmarks
- Lock-screen controls, so it keeps playing with the screen off
- Picks up where you stopped, for every document
Who listens to their documents?
Students turn notes and handouts into audio for the bus or the gym. Professionals catch up on long reports during the commute. People with low vision or dyslexia hear any page with the voice and pace that work for them. And anyone with a pile of reading can get through it while doing something else.
Works offline. Read Aloud and audio export use the voices on your phone. A few voices need a connection, and Pix Scan marks them.
