ReadIt

Any book you own,
read by a full cast.

Narration, and the page keeping up

The line being read is lit as it is spoken, so you can follow with your eyes or put the phone down and just listen.

Real chapters, not one long file

ReadIt reads the book's own table of contents, so a novel arrives as the chapters its author wrote, each with its running time.

A page that suits the room

Six text sizes and a Paper, Sepia, or Night page, changed while you read rather than buried in a settings screen.

Built for the way people actually get through a book.

Bring your own EPUB

Import a book you already own. ReadIt reads its table of contents, splits it into real chapters, and starts from page one.

A voice per character

Dialogue is cast to the character speaking it, so a conversation sounds like a conversation instead of one voice doing all the parts.

Text that follows the voice

The page highlights each line as it is spoken. Look away, look back, and you have not lost your place.

Works without a connection

The built-in voice engine runs on your phone. No account, no upload, no network needed to hear a chapter.

Picks up where you stopped

Progress is kept per book and per chapter, down to the block you were on when you paused.

Listen the way you like

Skip back fifteen, forward thirty, change the speed, or recast a character mid-chapter.

You choose who does the reading.

The built-in engine casts each character to one of the speech voices already installed on your phone. It is free, it works offline, and no book text ever leaves your device.

Prefer a richer read? Switch to full-cast narration for a distinct voice per character. Either way, the cast sheet shows who is voicing whom, and you can change any of them.

Narration you have already heard is cached, so replaying a chapter costs nothing. Clear it whenever you want the space back.
