About this app

Read Anything turns any text into audio. Paste an article, open a PDF or eBook, save a web page, or scan a printed page, and listen in a natural voice while you walk, cook, commute or rest your eyes. The sentence being read is highlighted word by word, so you can follow along or look away.
