About this app

Scan to Speech turns printed text into speech. Point your camera at a page, a sign, a label or a menu, and the app reads it out loud.

Made for anyone who would rather listen than read:
• Low vision — enlarge nothing, just listen
• Dyslexia and reading fatigue — follow along line by line
• Language learners — hear how the text actually sounds
• Hands busy — listen to a document while you do something else

WHAT IT DOES
• Scan printed text with the camera or from a photo in your gallery
• Recognises Latin, Chinese, Japanese and Korean script
• Reads the text aloud, line by line, with repeat and loop
• Adjust speaking speed and pitch to suit you
• Type or paste text in directly when there is nothing to scan
• Keeps a history of everything you have scanned
• Playback continues in the background

Speech uses the text-to-speech voices already installed on your device, so the languages available depend on your device settings.
Scan any text with your camera and have it read aloud. Built for easy reading.
