Why ReadAloud+
Thoughtfully built for real life
Every feature exists because someone needed it. We obsessed over the details so you don’t have to.
54 natural voices
Choose from 54 natural voices across 8 languages — warm, clear, and remarkably human. You can hear every one of them before subscribing, and your favorite is saved per language.
Reads what eyes miss
Handwriting, faded print, small text. AI text recognition reads the pages that strain your eyes — and on-device Apple Vision keeps you scanning when you’re offline.
Summary mode
No time for forty pages? Summary mode gives you the gist of a long document, read aloud in the voice you choose — so you get the point before you decide to hear the rest.
Clean listening
ReadAloud+ skips headers, page numbers, and ads, so you hear the words that matter — not the clutter around them.
Private by design — your documents are never stored. Works offline with on-device voices. An honest trial, and cancel anytime in iOS Settings.

Frequently asked questions
- How does ReadAloud+ scan and read documents?
- Point your camera at any printed text and tap to scan. ReadAloud+ uses OCR (optical character recognition) to extract the text, then reads it aloud in the voice you choose. When you’re online it uses Google Gemini AI for high accuracy on challenging documents; offline it automatically falls back to on-device Apple Vision.
- Does ReadAloud+ work without an internet connection?
- Yes. When you’re offline, ReadAloud+ automatically falls back to on-device Apple Vision OCR and Apple system voices, so you can keep scanning and listening. An internet connection unlocks the higher-accuracy Google Gemini text recognition and the 54 natural voices.
- How natural do the AI voices sound?
- ReadAloud+ offers 54 natural voices across 8 languages — English (US & UK), Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, and Mandarin. They’re warm, expressive, and remarkably close to natural human speech. You can hear any voice before you choose it — including before you subscribe — your favorite is saved per language, and you can adjust speed to taste. Apple system voices are used as an offline fallback.
- Is my scanned data private and secure?
- Yes. ReadAloud+ uses an ephemeral data model: your scanned documents exist only in memory during your session. When you navigate away, everything is discarded. We never store your documents. Online OCR and voice synthesis send text to secure APIs (Google Gemini and LemonFox) for processing, but nothing is persisted there. Audio files are cached locally on your device for performance. We run no ads and do not track you across other apps. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.
- How does the free trial and subscription work?
- Every new subscriber gets a 3-day free trial with full access — Google Gemini OCR, all 54 voices, summary mode, everything. Apple sends a reminder before the trial ends, and if you cancel during the trial you pay nothing. After the trial, ReadAloud+ is $9.99/month or $79.99/year (save 33%). Your subscription is billed by Apple and auto-renews until you cancel in iOS Settings. An account (Sign in with Apple) is required.
- What types of documents can ReadAloud+ scan?
- Any printed text: letters, bills, prescriptions, textbooks, menus, contracts, receipts, instruction manuals, and more. You can scan up to 5 pages at a time. Online, Google Gemini text recognition reads what eyes miss — handwriting, faded print, small text, low contrast, and complex layouts.
- What devices and iOS versions are supported?
- ReadAloud+ is available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later. The app is optimized for all screen sizes and orientations.
- What does Smart Text Cleanup do?
- Smart Text Cleanup automatically skips headers, page numbers, ads, letterheads, barcodes, and other non-essential text from scanned documents. This gives you a cleaner listening experience focused on the content that matters. You can toggle it on or off in Settings.
- What is Summary mode?
- Summary mode gives you the gist of a long document, read aloud. Instead of listening to every page of a contract, report, or article, you can hear a concise summary in the voice you choose — and then listen to the full document if you want the detail.
