Cedar: Read Aloud Books & PDFs

Mikhail Levin

About this app

Cedar reads anything aloud in a natural voice — PDFs, ebooks, articles, even a page you photograph — and highlights every word as it goes, so your eyes and ears stay together.

Import it, press play, go for a walk. Cedar does the rest. No account needed to try it.

WHAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO
• PDFs and EPUBs, from Files, Drive, Gmail, or any app that can share
• Any article — paste the link and Cedar keeps the words, drops the clutter
• Anything you copy — notes, an email, a passage from somewhere else
• Printed pages — photograph a page and hear it read back
• 47,000 classic books, already inside the app

WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT
Students get through the reading list on the bus. Commuters turn a dead commute into a chapter a day. Readers with dyslexia or ADHD finally finish long documents. And when your eyes are done for the night, the
reading doesn't have to be.

THE READING PART, DONE PROPERLY
• Word-by-word highlighting that follows the voice exactly
• Tap any sentence to jump straight there
• Real PDF view — listen while you follow the actual page
• Dozens of natural text to speech voices, each previewable in a tap
• Chapters found automatically, with a contents picker
• Bookmarks, adjustable speed, and a sleep timer
• Paper, sepia, and night themes, at the text size you like
• Keeps playing with the screen off, with lock-screen controls
• Folders and search, for a library that grows

47,000 CLASSICS INCLUDED
Austen, Melville, Doyle, Shelley, Montgomery, Shakespeare and thousands more — ready to add and keep. It's also the fastest way to hear what Cedar sounds like: open one and press play.

BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU READ
Cedar is a text to speech reader, an ebook reader, a PDF reader and an article reader in one place. Whether you are studying, commuting, resting your eyes, or reading with dyslexia or ADHD, it turns anything
written into something you can listen to.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY
No ads, no tracking, no analytics brokers, nothing sold. Your documents are visible only to your account, and deleting your account deletes them.
