PostReader - Listen to Reddit Posts, Stories & Any Text on Your Screen
Tired of reading long Reddit threads, stories, and articles? PostReader turns
any text on your screen into natural-sounding audio, so you can sit back,
relax, and listen instead of reading. Whether it's a long Reddit story, a
news article, a blog post, or any block of text, PostReader reads it out
loud for you — hands-free, screen-free, and effortless.
WHY YOU LOVE POSTREADER
Reddit is full of amazing stories, confessions, AITA posts, and long threads
- but reading through walls of text isn't always easy, especially on a small
phone screen or when your eyes are tired. PostReader is built for Reddit
readers, text-to-speech fans, article lovers, and anyone who'd rather listen
than scroll. Just open any app, tap the floating button, and PostReader
reads the text on your screen out loud in a clear, natural premium voice.
KEY FEATURES
• One-tap listening - a simple floating button reads whatever text is
visible on your screen right now.
• Live reading highlight - follow along visually as each sentence is read,
so you never lose your place.
• Adjustable reading speed and pitch - slow it down to relax, or speed it up
to get through long posts faster.
• Multiple voice models - choose a natural voice that fits your listening
style, including premium voice options.
• Customizable highlight colors - personalize how the active sentence is
highlighted while it reads.
• Works completely on-device - no login, no account required, and your
screen content is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
• Lightweight and simple - no clutter, no confusing settings, just tap and
listen.
ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API USAGE
PostReader uses the Android AccessibilityService API to provide its core
text-to-speech functionality. Here is exactly how and why the Accessibility
Service is used:
• What it does: When you tap the Play button on the floating overlay,
PostReader uses the AccessibilityService API to read the text currently
visible on your screen. It then converts that text into speech using
on-device text-to-speech processing, and highlights each sentence as it
is read aloud.
• When it activates: The AccessibilityService only reads your screen when
you explicitly tap the Play button. It does not run in the background,
does not monitor your activity, and does not read your screen at any
other time.
• What data is accessed: PostReader accesses only the text content visible
on your screen at the moment you tap Play. This includes text from any
app that is currently displayed (such as Reddit posts, articles, or
messages).
• No data is collected, stored, or shared: All text-to-speech processing
happens entirely on your device. PostReader does not record, store,
transmit, or share your screen content, personal data, or any
information obtained through the AccessibilityService. Nothing is ever
sent to any server.
• No other use: PostReader does not use the AccessibilityService to change
user settings, interact with other apps on your behalf, work around
privacy controls, record calls, or perform any action other than reading
visible text aloud when you tap Play.
WHO IS POSTREADER FOR?
- Reddit users who want to listen to long stories, AITA posts, relationship
threads, and confessions instead of reading them
- Article readers and news lovers who want to turn written content into
audio while multitasking, commuting, cooking, or relaxing
- Anyone with tired eyes, long reading lists, or who simply prefers
listening over reading
