About this app
Speech It turns the books and documents piling up on your device into audio you can enjoy anywhere. Import DRM-free EPUBs, PDFs, text files, and web articles, and listen to them read aloud in a natural voice. Clear your reading backlog during your commute, chores, or walks. ◆ Key Features - Flexible importing EPUB / PDF / plain text / web pages by URL / clipboard text. Files can also be opened from the Files app and the share sheet. - On-device translated listening Listen to an English book in Japanese and more: translation happens while reading aloud (iOS 18 or later, supported language pairs), with the translation and original shown side by side. - Background playback Keeps playing while your screen is locked, with full control from the Lock Screen and Control Centre. Playback resumes automatically after interruptions such as phone calls. - Follow along visually The current sentence and word are highlighted and kept in view. Tap any sentence to start playback from there. - Table of contents & bookmarks Jump between chapters, bookmark individual sentences, and browse bookmarks across your whole library. - Organised library Sort books into folders. Your reading position is saved automatically, so you always pick up where you left off. - Voice customisation Adjust speed (0.5x-2.0x), pick from your device's voices, tune the pitch, and preview voices before choosing. - Privacy first Parsing, translation, and speech synthesis all happen on your device. The contents of your books are never sent to a server. ◆ Notes - DRM-protected e-books are not supported. - Image-only (scanned) PDFs cannot be read aloud. - Translation requires iOS 18 or later. The app shows ads; an optional subscription removes them. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
