Text-to-Speech (Listen)

What is Text-to-Speech?

The Listen feature reads text aloud using AI-generated voices. It supports word-by-word karaoke-style highlighting so you can follow along as the text is read.

Two Types of Voices

  • Standard voices — Use your device's built-in speech engine. Available on all plans, works in multiple languages.
  • Premium AI voices (Gemini) — Natural, human-like narration powered by Google Gemini TTS. Superior pronunciation in Arabic, English, and French. Available on Reader Pro and Scholar plans.

How to Use It

  1. Select text in the reader.
  2. Click Listen in the floating toolbar.
  3. The text is read aloud with word-by-word highlighting.

You can also use TTS in the Illustrated Stories viewer to hear story panels narrated.
