LightReadr
Read & Listen to Your Books
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your ebooks into audiobooks you’ll actually want to listen to.
LightReadr turns your ebooks into audiobooks; with narration good enough to actually listen to.
Import the books you already have and either read normally or switch to natural-sounding narration mid-page. No robotic text-to-speech voice, no monthly subscription, no account required.
NATURAL VOICE NARRATION
Choose from several natural-sounding voices. Every word highlights as it's spoken, so you can follow along on the page. Tap any sentence to start narration right there; no need to scrub back to the beginning of the chapter.
ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE
Narration is generated locally on your iPhone. Your books and the audio LightReadr creates from them never leave your device; there's no server involved in reading to you.
BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS
Import EPUB files from the Files app. LightReadr comes with five free public-domain classics already in your library, so you've got something to read the moment you install it.
MAKE THE PAGE YOURS
Adjust font, size, theme, margins, and line height; per book, so one title can look different from the next. Chapter navigation, when the book includes it, gets you around fast.
RECAP SO FAR
On supported Apple Intelligence devices, LightReadr can generate a short reminder of what's happened in your book so far, based on what you've actually read.
YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE
Reading progress, bookmarks, and highlights sync across your devices through your own iCloud account; never through a LightReadr server.
Free. No account. No ads.
Ratings & Reviews
This update improves the safety and reliability of EPUB imports, including better handling of damaged or interrupted files.
It also adds an optional Product Insights setting, off by default, that helps guide improvements without sending your books, text, audio, or saved reading position. You can review or change it at any time in About.
