Description
CastReader turns any text into something you can hear and understand.
READ ALOUD — STAY FOCUSED
Turn photos, web pages, PDFs, EPUBs, and plain text into natural speech. Synchronized highlighting and auto-scroll keep your eyes and ears on the same sentence, whether you are studying, commuting, exercising, or resting your eyes.
AI EXPLAIN — GO BEYOND THE WORDS
CastReader creates and reads a clear explanation while handwritten-style annotations appear on the original: highlights for key points, circles around important terms, and numbered steps. Listen, watch, and understand the structure of difficult material.
BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT
- Camera or photo: recognize text on-device
- Web: open a URL and start listening
- Files: PDF, EPUB, TXT, DOCX, and images
- Paste: turn copied text into speech instantly
- Kindle: connect your Kindle library and continue reading
- Listen to YouTube: share or paste a public video link and hear its public captions with synchronized highlighting
For Listen to YouTube, only public videos with accessible captions are supported. Videos requiring sign-in, age verification, membership, regional access, or private access cannot be read.
