Privacy first
A reading tool should read for you — not read you. Here's what we don't do.
Your reading stays yours
We never store the content of the pages or books you listen to. Text is sent only to generate speech, then discarded — not retained, not sold.
Anonymous by default
Free use needs no account. Your device is identified by a random ID — no name, no email — until you choose to upgrade to Pro.
We never see your card
Payments are handled entirely by Stripe. Your card details never touch our servers.
Loved by focused readers
“I get distracted halfway through every long article. Hearing it read while the line I'm on lights up is the only way I actually finish them now.”
“I run my Kindle books through it on the commute — eyes on the page, ears on the narration. Whole books instead of three pages.”
“English isn't my first language. The synced highlight + natural voice means I stop re-reading the same paragraph five times.”
Frequently asked questions
- Is listening free?
