A PDF reader that reads aloud — and shows you where
Talevoxa pulls the text out of your PDF, joins broken lines back into real paragraphs and reads it in a natural voice, highlighting each sentence and word as it goes.

Listen to a PDF in three steps
- Open the reader or the Android app.
- Choose Open EPUB / PDF and pick your PDF.
- Pages are grouped into sections of five. Press play and Talevoxa continues from section to section.
Scanned PDFs
Some PDFs are only pictures of pages, with no real text inside. Those cannot be read aloud until they are converted with OCR. If you can select and copy text in your PDF viewer, Talevoxa can read it.
Good for study, too
Listening while you follow the highlighted line is a simple way to get through long notes and papers. Slow the voice down for difficult material or speed it up to review.
Questions
Is there a page limit?
There is no page limit for importing. Very large PDFs take a little longer to open.
Does my PDF get uploaded?
No. The PDF is processed on your device. Only the sentences being spoken are sent to the online voice when you choose an online voice.
Can it read PDFs in other languages?
Yes. Choose a natural voice in that language, for example Spanish, French or German.
