Is VoiceRead free on iPad?

Yes. Reading with the standard voices is unlimited and needs no account. Pro is $2.99 a week or $49.99 a year, with a free trial. Pricing.

Do I pay again for iPad if I have Pro on iPhone?

No. Pro works on every iPhone and iPad signed in with the same Apple ID. If it doesn't appear, tap Restore purchase in Settings.

Does my library sync between iPhone and iPad?

Not yet. Documents, notes and your place stay on the device where you added them. iCloud sync of progress is coming soon. Keep files in iCloud Drive to open them on both.

Can an iPad read aloud without an app?

Yes. Speak Selection and Speak Screen in Accessibility settings read what's on screen. They don't keep a document library or your place across files, and they can't export audio. VoiceRead adds those.

Which iPads are supported?

Any iPad running iPadOS 17 or later.

Is there a Mac or Android version?

VoiceRead is made for iPhone and iPad. Macs with Apple silicon can install the iPad version from the Mac App Store, but it isn't optimized for the Mac yet. An Android version is coming soon; there's no Windows or web app.

How read-along works

FILES AND ICLOUD DRIVE

Your documents are already on your iPad.

VoiceRead opens files through the Files app, so whatever you keep in iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox is a tap away. PDFs need a text layer and EPUBs need to be DRM-free. Google Docs work once exported as DOCX, PDF or TXT.

Voiceovers you make in Studio go the other way: save them to a folder in Files or share them straight to another app.

PDF: textbooks, papers and contracts
EPUB: ebooks without DRM
DOCX and TXT: documents and notes
Web articles: from a pasted link
