About this app

Pagecast reads the documents already on your phone out loud — PDF, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, DOCX, MOBI, AZW3. Import and listen. No account, no subscription — reading works fully offline.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Fanfiction readers. Export a work from AO3 as EPUB and listen to it like an audiobook — no official recording needed.
• Students and researchers. The PDFs piling up on your phone become something you can listen to on the commute or at the gym.
• Anyone who finds long reading tiring — dyslexia, low vision, or just a long day. The sentence being read is highlighted while you listen, so your eyes can follow or rest.

WHY PAGECAST
• Offline reading. Speech is generated on your phone. Your files, titles and reading progress are never uploaded — listen on a plane or underground. The network is used only to download voice packs and to verify your purchase.
• A bookstore built in. Free public-domain classics in seven languages — add one to your shelf and it's yours to read or listen to offline.
• Buy once. There are no servers to pay for, so there is nothing to rent by the month. The free version is free forever; the lifetime upgrade is a single purchase you can restore on your next phone.
• Natural pauses. Where a sentence breaks decides whether it sounds read or recited. The advanced sentence model places pauses at long clauses, quotes and dialogue.
• Voices worth listening to. Downloadable HD voices with intonation that follows punctuation; every voice built into your device stays free.
• Mixed-language text. A second language inside the text is read by a second voice.

WHAT YOU GET
• Automatic chapter detection with a tappable table of contents; seek by sentence
• Keeps playing on the lock screen and in the background, with notification controls
• Sleep timer, 0.75–2× speed, text size and line spacing, night mode
• The sentence being read is highlighted as you listen
• Scanned PDFs are recognized automatically (Chinese and Latin scripts)
• Import straight from your files app or any app's Share menu
