Frequently asked

You add a document — a PDF, an ebook, an article, your own notes — and it reads it to you in a natural voice, highlighting each word as it's spoken. It remembers where you stopped, so you can put the phone in your pocket and come back later.

PDF, EPUB, DOCX, TXT, Web articles, Google Docs, Markdown, Scanned pages. Scanned pages are recognised as text first.

Device voices work fully offline. Premium voices are synthesised in the cloud, so they need a connection the first time a passage is read — download a book's audio while online and it plays offline afterwards.

No. Reading happens in the iOS app; the website is for your account, your library overview and billing.

Unlimited books, word-perfect highlighting, saved reading position, and the voices built into your device — no card, no trial clock.

Every premium neural voice, roughly 46 hours of cloud narration a month, offline downloads, and 0.5×–2.5× speed without distortion.

On the web, $9.99 a month or $95.88 a year ($7.99 a month). Bought inside the iOS app it's $14.99 a month or $139.99 a year — Apple takes a cut of in-app purchases, so subscribing on the web is cheaper.

Yes. Premium is attached to your account, not to a device or a store, so it follows you everywhere you sign in.

Cloud narration pauses until the next calendar month; device voices keep working, and anything already downloaded still plays. The counter resets on the 1st.

Web subscriptions: the billing portal on your account page. App Store subscriptions: iOS Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions. Premium runs to the end of the period you've paid for.

As many as you like. Each one appears in the device list on your account page with when it was last seen, and you can forget any of them there. Forgetting removes the record, not a session — if that install signs in again, it comes back.

Ask for a reset link. It arrives by email, lasts an hour and works once. Accounts made with Apple or Google have no password at all — sign in the way you signed up.

Tap Restore purchases on the app's account screen; if you bought on the web, sign out and back in on the device. Still stuck after an hour, email us with the receipt.

Yes, and you don't have to ask us: the danger zone on your account page, or the account screen in the iOS app. It erases everything immediately and cancels any web subscription. An App Store subscription still has to be cancelled in iOS Settings — Apple allows nobody else to. Details in Privacy.

No. Files you upload are yours; they're stored privately and are never used to train models or shown to anyone else.

The passage being narrated goes to our text-to-speech provider to be turned into audio, and nothing else does. Device voices never leave your phone. Full detail on the Privacy page.
