Reading Assistant

Reading Assistant turns any text - typed, pasted, shared from another app, or imported from a document - into speech, with natural-sounding voices and reading-comfort tools built in from the start rather than bolted on.

Read anything aloud
Paste text, import a PDF, EPUB, TXT, or HTML file, or use "Read aloud" from the text-selection menu in any other app. Reading Assistant picks up where you left off, sentence by sentence, with live highlighting so you can follow along.

Natural offline voices
Choose from on-device neural voices (Piper and Kokoro) that download once and then work completely offline - no internet needed to read, and nothing you read is ever sent anywhere. Or use your device's own built-in Text-to-Speech voices.

Built for reading comfort
- Adjustable font size, speech speed, and pitch
- Dyslexia-friendly spacing mode (wider letter and line spacing)
- Light, dark, or system theme, plus multiple color palettes
- A sleep timer for reading in bed
- "Set start point" and previous/next-sentence controls to navigate long documents precisely
- Resumes automatically where you left off

Your library, organized
Save, search, and pin your notes and imported documents. Everything is stored privately on your device - there's no account, and nothing you write or import is sent anywhere.

Recent changes:
Two new themes — and they change more than the colours.

Classic Desktop turns the editor into a window with a menu bar and square controls. Neon Terminal wraps your notes around an emblem in a carousel you scroll through.

Also in this release:
• Redesigned playback bar: skip by sentence or 15s, change speed while reading, see time remaining
• Pinned and locked notes are easier to spot
• Fixed text that was hard to read in some themes and lighting modes
