Vox Reader

VoxReader turns anything readable into an audiobook. Import a book, a web page, a PDF or a paste of plain text, and listen to it with a natural voice — entirely on your device, with no account, no subscription and no network needed once the text is in. LISTEN TO ANYTHING • EPUB, PDF, DOCX, RTF, FB2, Markdown, HTML and plain text • Web pages, saved as clean article text with the clutter stripped out • Anything you send from another app through the share sheet • Files opened straight from the Files app or from Mail NATURAL VOICES, ON DEVICE • Reads with Apple's built-in voices — nothing to download, works offline the moment you install • Add Apple's Enhanced and Premium voices free from iOS Settings, in dozens of languages • Set a default voice, or give a single book or feed a voice of its own • Adjust speed and pitch while it is speaking, without losing your place • Optional online voices if you want them — the free Google Translate voices, or OpenAI's with your own API key. Never chosen for you, and every voice is labelled Offline or Online before you pick it A REAL PLAYER • Chapter list, scrubbing, skip by sentence, and resume exactly where you stopped • The word being spoken is highlighted in the text as you follow along • Sleep timer • Lock screen and Control Center playback, and audio that keeps going in the background • Playback speed, pitch and voice all persist per book A FREE LIBRARY, BUILT IN • Browse public-domain books from Project Gutenberg, Open Library, the Internet Archive and Standard Ebooks • Add any OPDS catalog of your own — Calibre-web, Kavita, or a library that publishes one • Search by title or author, then download and start listening in one tap NEWS AND FEEDS • Subscribe to RSS, Atom and JSON feeds — paste a site address and the feed is found for you • Bulk-import your subscriptions from an OPML file • Choose per feed whether new items download automatically, on Wi-Fi only, or never • Full article text or summary only, and how long items are kept before they are cleaned up • New items become ordinary library documents, so they play with the same player and the same voice PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech is synthesised on your device. Your documents are never uploaded, there is no account to create, and nothing you read or listen to is collected. The only network traffic is fetching the page, feed or book you asked for — unless you deliberately choose one of the optional online voices. No subscription. No ads. No sign-in.
