ListenLeaf
Hear books, docs, and briefs
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read, listen, and understand more, privately. Catch up, ask cited questions, compare clauses, and move seamlessly across adaptive displays.
ListenLeaf transforms books, PDFs, Word documents, text files, web content, and legal materials into a focused listening and reading experience.
Import documents you already own, select a natural Neural Voice, and listen while following along with synchronized highlighting. ListenLeaf’s narration runs directly on your device, supporting private listening without sending document text to a cloud speech service.
Whether you are enjoying a novel, studying coursework, reviewing a brief, or working through a lengthy document, ListenLeaf helps you make meaningful progress without remaining tied to the screen.

BUILT FOR LONG-FORM READING
ListenLeaf is designed for books and documents that deserve sustained attention. Use it for novels, research, coursework, contracts, briefs, policies, manuals, articles, and more.
Track reading time, goals, streaks, and completed books while building a reading routine that works for you. Accessibility support includes VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control, Dynamic Type, reduced motion, and adaptable light and dark appearances.
LISTENLEAF LEGAL
The optional ListenLeaf Legal add-on provides a dedicated workspace for legal professionals and law students.
Organize documents by matter, capture source-linked notes, apply issue tags, maintain review logs, manage assignments and deadlines, check citation formatting, create review reports, and prepare exportable handoff materials—all while retaining access to ListenLeaf’s reader and narration tools.
ListenLeaf Legal supports professional review workflows but does not provide legal advice or replace independent professional judgment.
PRIVACY-MINDED BY DESIGN
Your documents remain yours. ListenLeaf uses a local-first architecture, and on-device narration does not require uploading your reading material to a remote speech service. Features requiring external services are identified before information is shared.
Turn reading time into listening time and lengthy documents into focused, measurable progress.
