Speak to write. Listen to read.

Listen Everything is a text to speech (TTS) app that reads text aloud with your phone's own voices. Paste text, open a PDF or Word file, photograph a printed page or share an article from another app, then listen while you commute, cook, study or rest your eyes.

WHAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO
• Text you type or paste – or anything you copied, with one tap on "Paste and listen"
• Documents: a PDF reader and document reader for PDF (with a text layer), Word (.docx), TXT, Markdown and HTML
• Photos and screenshots of printed text: the text in the image is recognised on your phone (OCR) and read aloud
• Web pages: paste a link and hear the article
• Text and links shared from other apps through Android's Share menu
• Your own voice: voice typing (speech to text) – speak, edit the text, then hear it read back, or in another language

FOLLOW ALONG
• The sentence being read is highlighted, so you never lose your place
• Tap a sentence to read from there, or choose where reading starts and ends
• Pause and pick up where you stopped
• Change the speed from 0.5× to 2× while it reads – the change applies right away
• Make the text as large as you need (A− / A+), in a dark or light theme

MANY LANGUAGES IN ONE TEXT
• Every sentence is read in its own language: a page that mixes English, Chinese and Spanish switches voices by itself
• Choose and preview a voice for each language from the voices installed on your phone
• "Listen in": hear everything translated into English, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Vietnamese or Indonesian

YOUR LIBRARY
• Everything you open is kept in your library on this phone, with your place saved
• Continue listening from the Home screen in one tap
• See what is in progress and what is finished; delete anything at any time

EASY TO USE
• A short introduction and tips on the real buttons the first time – skip them if you like
• Large touch targets and labels for screen readers on every button
• Keeps the screen on while reading (you can turn this off)
• Send feedback from Settings – the app only drafts and copies it; nothing is sent unless you send it

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Free to use, with no in-app purchases
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics
• Your texts, files and photos stay on your phone; text recognition runs on the phone
• Only three optional features send anything off your phone: web pages (the address goes to the r.jina.ai reader service), "Listen in" translation (sentences go to MyMemory, a free translation service) and speech input (handled by your browser's speech service)

GOOD TO KNOW
• Voices come from your phone's text-to-speech engine; Google's engine covers dozens of languages with no setup. If a language has no voice, add one in Android Settings → Text-to-speech output.
• Text recognition reads printed text in English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese and Indonesian. Handwriting is usually not recognised.
• Scanned PDFs contain pictures, not text: photograph the pages and use "Scan with camera" instead.
• The first time you open a PDF or Word file or scan a photo, the app downloads the reader it needs; after that it works offline.
