Turn your reading into listening. Import, press play, and listen back with natural, lifelike voices.
ReadBack is a powerful, easy-to-use text-to-speech app built for writers, students, and professionals. Import your Word docs, PDFs, EPUBs, text files, or notes and let ReadBack read them aloud in voices designed to stay smooth and comfortable for long listening.
Whether you’re proofreading chapters, reviewing lecture notes, or catching up on research during your commute, ReadBack makes it easy to keep up with your reading.
Why people love ReadBack:
- It reads real documents, from start to finish (yes, even full manuscripts)
- Lifelike voices designed for hours of listening.
- Plays in the background so you can multitask.
- Unlimited replays of generated audio.
- Great for catching awkward sentences, studying on the go, or giving your eyes a break.
Privacy comes first:
Your files are yours. After processing documents into audio, ReadBack doesn’t store your content on its servers. All of your documents and document audio live on your device only. Perfect for drafts, sensitive notes, or research.
Subscriptions & Credits:
Choose the plan that works best for you. ReadBack's subscriptions offer the best value for frequent listeners. But, for infrequent or irregular listening, try pay-as-you-go credits. They never expire.
Why wait?
Join writers, students, and professionals already using ReadBack to polish your work, focus better, and save time.

I’ve tried a number of TTS apps and things the past year and much of them are extremely overpriced and bloated. I’m super pleased with the simplicity and neutrality of this app and its voices! It gives decent word limits, and it’s an easy solution on the go. Works well with Mac iPhone mirroring too, interestingly enough! It’s my new goto for text to speech for editing, and I like that voices aren’t overly excited about everything they’re reading and have a more neutral inflection
Amazing Tool For Writers

I’ve been looking for a text to speech option to help me read back long manuscripts to revise my work. ReadBack is not only user friendly, but a great affordable option. I had the app set up in minutes and then spent the whole night listening back to my draft. The voices were naturally enough that it felt like a real audio book; it was a wonderful experience!
Great App

This app is easy to use and does a good job of capturing all the words in the readings. It’s also way cheaper than alternatives.
Very user friendly
