Too busy to read? Listen instead
Document Reader turns any PDF, EPUB or Word file into a natural-sounding audiobook — and even reads printed pages you scan with your camera. Commute, cook, work out: your reading comes with you.
Your documents, in your ears
Import anything, listen anywhere, pick up exactly where you left off.

Build the reading habit that never stuck
Set a daily goal, watch your streak grow, and see pages pile up week after week. Listening removes the friction that kills reading habits — the app makes the progress visible.
