Students
Turn the reading list into listening time
Readings pile up faster than hours do. Import a PDF, press play, and the walk across campus, the queue, and the bus all become reading time. Because the speech is generated on your iPhone, a library basement or a flight changes nothing about it.

How Local TTS helps
Import what you were actually assigned
PDF, EPUB, Word, TXT, and Markdown come in directly, and the camera turns a printed handout into text through on-device OCR. Pro unlocks full multi-page PDF import.
Follow the text while you listen
Word-by-word highlighting keeps the page and the voice together, which is what makes a dense chapter survivable at 1.5×. Lock the screen and it keeps playing.
No account, no credits, no metering
There is no cloud quota to run out of at midnight. The free plan reads 500 characters per note; Pro is $4.99 a month, or $19.99 once and for good.
