  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update improves the PDF-to-audio workflow and playback experience. • Upload now uses clearer audio processing presets, with advanced options available when needed. • The Player tab now gives easier access to synced read-along text for the current document. • Read-along text is grouped more naturally to avoid awkward one-word or very short lines. • Newly generated audio handles common slash dates like 10/23 more naturally. • The mini player UI has been cleaned up by removing the placeholder waveform.
