Smart Reader turns any page into a read-aloud lesson. Point the camera at a book, photo, or PDF — Smart Reader recognizes the text on-device and reads it aloud, word by word or continuously, while highlighting exactly what's being said.
WHY FAMILIES USE SMART READER
• Turns physical books, worksheets, and handouts into read-aloud practice in seconds
• Built for early and struggling readers, language learners, and anyone who reads better by listening
• No cloud upload of your photos or your child's voice — recognition and speech happen on the device
READ IN 12 LANGUAGES
English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, Kiswahili, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, and Bahasa Melayu — with on-device translation between them, so a child can read a French worksheet with an English translation alongside it.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap a photo, pick one from your gallery, or open a PDF
2. Smart Reader recognizes the text on-device (no internet required for most languages)
3. Tap Start Reading — follow along as each word is highlighted and read aloud
4. Practice pronunciation out loud and get instant, on-device feedback
READING MODES
• Word-by-word — for early readers building word recognition
• Continuous — for fluent read-alongs
• Pronunciation practice — read a line yourself and see how you did
SAVE & RESUME
Save a scanned page as a session and reopen it anytime — perfect for revisiting a favorite story or finishing a worksheet later.
