Readius Aloud reads your PDFs, EPUBs, and documents aloud in a natural voice, entirely on your iPhone.
Send a message with the form below and you will get a reply by email. It helps to say which iPhone model and iOS version you are on, and what format the document was.
This is the same feedback form linked inside the app. It is a Google Form, hosted and handled by Google, not by this site. See the privacy policy for what that means.
Readius Aloud needs to download its speech engine and a starter voice (about 130MB) before it can read anything aloud. Tap the download banner on the library screen or in the reader, and keep the app open on Wi-Fi until it finishes. You only need to do this once.
Readius Aloud saves your position constantly, including when you leave the app or lock the screen. If a resume ever looks wrong, open the document and use the table of contents or page jump to get back to the right spot, then let it play a little so the saved position updates.
Some PDFs, especially scanned or oddly formatted ones, don't have a clean text layer to extract. If a document reads badly, try the document's EPUB edition if one is available, which generally extracts more reliably.
Readius Aloud uses standard background audio, the same mechanism as podcast and audiobook apps. If playback stops unexpectedly, check that Background App Refresh is enabled for Readius Aloud in Settings.
See the privacy policy. Short version: the app collects nothing and uploads nothing.
