Voices that sound human
Calm, bright, warm, broadcast, storyteller. Five female and five male voices.
Works offline
On a plane, in the subway, in airplane mode. Speech is generated on your phone, not on a server.
Starts in seconds
Long documents are split into parts and start playing right away while the rest is prepared.
Sleep timer
Stop after 15 to 60 minutes, or at the end of the current part. Speed control from slow to brisk.
Pick up where you left off
Every reading is saved to History with its progress. Tap any part to jump to it, and come back tomorrow to the exact sentence you stopped at.
Export as M4A or WAV
Save any reading as an audio file to keep, share, or play in your podcast app. Your own audiobook, made from your own files.
Private by design
Your words stay on your phone.
Most text to speech apps send your documents to a cloud server to be voiced. TextVoice carries the voice model with it, so contracts, medical notes, drafts and diaries are read aloud without ever being uploaded.

Does TextVoice work offline?
Yes. Speech is generated on your device. On iPhone and iPad the voices ship inside the app. On Android you download the voice model once, and from then on everything runs offline. Importing a web article naturally needs a connection to fetch the page.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no account and no server. Your documents, photos and text are processed on your device and never uploaded. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs.
Which files can TextVoice read aloud?
PDF, Word (DOCX), EPUB and TXT files, web articles from a pasted link, and photos or screenshots of printed text using on-device OCR. You can also type or paste text directly.
Which languages are supported?
31 languages on both platforms, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic and Russian. The iPhone and iPad version also reads Chinese.
Is TextVoice free?
TextVoice is free to download and try. TextVoice Pro unlocks unlimited text to speech, continuous reading and unlimited saved history, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled any time in your App Store or Google Play account.
Can I save the audio as a file?
Yes. Export any reading as M4A or WAV to keep it, share it, or play it in another app.
