OraReader: PDF to Audiobook
Read Aloud EPUB & Voice Reader
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn any document into a structured audiobook — in seconds.
OraReader converts any PDF, EPUB, or TXT into a fully structured book with automatic chapter detection, then reads it aloud with natural voices and word-by-word karaoke. Drop in a file and start listening before you've finished putting your headphones on.
EVERY VOICE FREE
No credits, no paying per voice. Every natural voice is unlocked from the start, with 10 hours of listening free every month — while other reading apps lock those same voices behind $100+/year.
FASTEST DOCUMENT PROCESSING
Import a PDF, EPUB, or TXT and OraReader structures it into chapters in seconds — no manual splitting, no waiting. Your book is ready almost instantly.
AUTOMATIC CHAPTER DETECTION
Most apps treat your files as one long wall of text. OraReader understands their structure — detecting chapters, titles, and content hierarchy automatically — so you get a real, navigable book instead of endless scrolling.
WORD-BY-WORD KARAOKE
Every word lights up exactly as it's spoken — word-level, not sentence-level. Follow along with precision, or tap any word to start listening from there. Natural voices in 60+ languages.
BIONIC READING
The first part of each word is bolded, creating visual anchors that pull your eyes through the text faster. Less fatigue, more focus — especially helpful for ADHD and dyslexia. Toggle it on or off anytime.
READ OR LISTEN — OR BOTH
