Description

ReadBit is a free text-to-speech reader app created to offer you an
insightful reading and listening experience while saving you lots of time
and energy. And that's not all. Its smart algorithms summarize and even
analyze the text to provide you the most relevant information without
having to read hundreds of pages.

ReadBit can turn any document, weblink, or image into a high-quality audio
file. You can personalize the reading screen and choose the background
color and the font according to your needs.

Features:

- Convert any physical document, PDF, weblink, or image to an AUDIO book
and listen with natural, lifelike voices.

- Track your progress on each content and play from wherever you have left
off.

- Summarize the text, reduce your reading time up to 80%. You can display
the original pages of the document whenever needed.

- Find the most relevant content! Listen only to the content you are
interested in by selecting and listening to the parts containing relevant
Keywords, Characters, and Places.

- Read along and focus! The interactive interface highlights the text word
by word while you're listening.

- Personalize your listening experience by adjusting the speech rate and
see how much time you saved per document from the reactive time bar.

- Listen to your content anywhere and anytime with the OFFLINE audio
player, which also plays in the background and can be controlled on your
lock screen.

- Listen in 26 languages with more than 80 different voices.

- Send documents directly from other apps using the "Open in ReadBit"
extension on your iPhone's share menu.

- Edit and manage the pages of a document in the Arrange screen to Crop,
Rotate, Delete or Add New pages.

- Share documents to other apps and services.

Whenever you get stuck, check out the Help screen or leave us feedback
under the ReadBit Menu.
