LightReadr

LightReadr turns your ebooks into audiobooks; with narration you actually want to listen to.

Import the books you already have and either read normally or switch to natural-sounding narration mid-page. No robotic text-to-speech voice, no monthly subscription, no account required.

NATURAL VOICE NARRATION
Choose from several natural-sounding voices. Every word highlights as it's spoken, so you can follow along on the page. Tap any sentence to start narration right there; no need to scrub back to the beginning of the chapter.

ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE
Narration is generated locally on your iPhone. Your books and the audio LightReadr creates from them never leave your device; there's no server involved in reading to you.

BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS
Import EPUB files from the Files app. LightReadr comes with five free public-domain classics already in your library, so you've got something to read the moment you install it.

MAKE THE PAGE YOURS
Adjust font, size, theme, margins, and line height; per book, so one title can look different from the next. Chapter navigation, when the book includes it, gets you around fast.

RECAP SO FAR
On supported Apple Intelligence devices, LightReadr can generate a short reminder of what's happened in your book so far, based on what you've actually read.

YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE
Reading progress, bookmarks, and highlights sync across your devices through your own iCloud account; never through a LightReadr server.

Free. No account. No ads.
