Read Tracker: Read Aloud Coach

Hearth Software

About this app

Never lose your place again.

Read Tracker listens as you read aloud and lights up every word the moment you say it, like a finger gliding under the line. Built for readers with dyslexia, people learning a language, and anyone who wants to read aloud with more confidence.

FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE, WORD BY WORD
Tap the microphone and read at your own pace. The word you are on lights up and grows, the words you have read fade to gray, and a dotted line marks any word you skipped. Lost your place? Just look for the light.

INSTANT HELP WITH HARD WORDS
• Tap any word to hear it said clearly
• Pause on a word and a "Hear it" button appears right above it, or let the app say the word for you
• Press and hold any word to carry on reading from there

DYSLEXIA-FRIENDLY FROM THE GROUND UP
• A dyslexia-friendly mode with calmer, more spacious text
• Easy-to-read fonts: OpenDyslexic, Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible
• Adjustable letter and line spacing
• Line focus that dims everything except the line you are reading
• Soft page colors: paper, blue, green, peach, gray or white
• A light, dark or automatic look
• Bigger text with the A buttons or a simple pinch, plus a word zoom that makes the current word stand out

LISTEN FIRST, THEN READ
• "Read it to me" reads the text aloud and highlights each word as it goes, at the speed you choose
• "Read and repeat" reads one sentence, then listens while you say it back, sentence after sentence. Great for pronunciation and reading fluency

LEARNING A LANGUAGE?
Tap a word in a foreign text to see its translation, plus the translation of the whole sentence. Translation runs right on your phone.

READ ANYTHING
• E-books (EPUB), PDF, Word documents and text files
• Scan pages from a printed book with your camera and read straight from them
• Paste text, or share a document to Read Tracker from any app
• Long books open smoothly, and every document reopens exactly where you stopped

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
After each reading, your report shows how long you read, your words per minute compared with last time, your trend over recent sessions, and the words worth practicing. Tap any of them to hear it again.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No account. No ads. No tracking. The built-in speech engines recognize your voice on the phone itself, so what you say never leaves your device, and they work without internet. English is included. German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Catalan, Hindi, Persian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese and Korean are free downloads in Settings. Other languages use your phone's own speech recognition. The app recognizes the language of your text by itself.

THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES
• The screen stays on while you read
• A short guided tour and built-in help
• The app itself is available in English, German, French, Spanish and Hebrew

MADE FOR
• Teens and adults with dyslexia who want to keep their place
• Anyone building reading confidence and fluency
• Language learners practicing pronunciation
• Students, speakers and anyone rehearsing a text to read aloud

Pay once and it is yours. No subscription, no ads, ever.

Read Tracker is a reading aid. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat dyslexia.
