What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated November 10, 2026
Natural voices are now easier to find. After a book plays with the Apple voice for a short time, a tip on the Voice button shows you where the more natural voices are. A new tip also points you to Speed Reader, which shows one word or short phrase at a time. The playback controls now start open, so Voice, Contents, and Speed are always in view. Oratio remembers if you close them. On wide screens, library cards line up evenly and Speed Reader shows larger words. You can now rate Oratio from Settings.
