Dream TTS reads your books, PDFs and articles aloud in a natural voice, and the page follows it word by word. Private by design: nothing you read leaves your device. A NATURAL VOICE Choose from 28 voices in American and British English, and set the pace that suits you. Each word is lit as it is spoken, so you can look away and find your place again at a glance. It keeps reading with your iPhone locked: pause and skip from the Lock Screen or your headphones.

Could you build this?
Partial The reader UI and word highlighting are vibe-codeable, but on-device natural voice synthesis and precise word-level timing require ML model integration and optimization.
What it would actually take: Use an open-source on-device TTS model such as Piper or Kokoro, running via ONNX Runtime or a native mobile or WASM build. Word-by-word highlighting needs phoneme or duration alignment from the model, or a forced-alignment pass. Making this run smoothly across devices and handling PDF text extraction well takes ML deployment and document-parsing expertise.
