About this app

ReadMe turns your EPUB, PDF and comics into a comfortable reading — and listening — experience.

🎧 Listen like an audiobook (even with the screen off)
Turn any supported EPUB/PDF into spoken audio and keep listening while you walk, work out, commute or do chores. ReadMe can read in the background, so you don’t have to keep the screen on.

🔊 Offline TTS is a core feature
Choose from multiple Text‑to‑Speech engines, including natural‑sounding offline voices in many languages:
• Google TTS (online/offline)
• ReadMe Local TTS (offline)
• Azure TTS (online; may require an account / has limits)
• ElevenLabs TTS (online; may require an account / has limits)
Test voices, pick language, voice and model, and tune speed for your perfect “listening” setup.

Ratings and reviews

In general, very good, with simple and understandable customization. Areas for improvement: 1) when a book is first opened, custom-coloured text is shown correctly, but if any theme is chosen, the text becomes monochrome and there's no way to change it back. 2) Tapping on any part of the text brings up a large menu that covers a significant part of the screen on both bottom and top, and there's no way to disable this either or change how the menu options are brought up.

This app is great in term of User Interface and how it displays the files. However, their are some bugs that need to be fixed like add to read list later and some buttons don't work. For example, the more info. If the developer can polish the app, I would give it a five star rating.

I love the UI of ReadMe. It is clean and clutter-free. Definitely one of the best ebook reader I have tried. Only one thing I want to request is to makes ReadMe support connecting to OPDS server, even better if it also support the OPDS Page Streaming extension.
