Read the full description
Lumotext reads web pages, PDFs and EPUBs aloud while every sentence and word lights up to keep your eyes where the voice is. PDFs keep their real pages. Free voices run on your device, so what you read stays private, and they can translate and read in other languages. Dyslexia-friendly fonts, spacing and tints built in. One library across a Chrome extension, a web app and iPhone and iPad. Free to use, no card required. Optional Pro adds natural AI voices.
