About OmniReader Audiobooks
Other read-aloud apps skip your graphs. OmniReader describes them. Import a textbook, a paper or a report, and OmniReader reads the whole document aloud — including the parts every other reader leaves out. A vision model looks at each figure, table and display equation and writes a short, plain-language description, spoken in place, exactly where it sits on the page. You hear what the chart shows. You hear what the table concludes. You hear the equation the way a tutor would say it. That is the difference between listening to a novel and actually listening to a textbook. What it reads • PDFs, including scanned and layout-heavy pages • EPUBs • Web pages and articles, by link or by share sheet • Textbooks, papers, lecture notes, reports What it doesn't skip • Figures and charts — described in plain language, not announced and passed over • Tables — read as conclusions, not cell by cell • Display equations — spoken the way a person would read them, equation number included • Two-column layouts, scanned pages, dense technical typesetting Listening • Natural voices, eight to choose from, each with a preview • Speed from 0.75x to 3x • Read-along word highlighting, synced to the audio • Original page view — see the real document while it plays • Background and lock-screen playback • Offline downloads: anything you have listened to plays without a connection • Automatic skipping of the table of contents and front matter • Share a clip of what you are listening to Built for studying Your listening allowance is counted in hours, not characters, and it is shown to you plainly. Re-listening and downloads are always free — only the first conversion of a document counts. Processing is transparent: you see the stage and the page count, never an indeterminate spinner. Accessibility OmniReader is built for VoiceOver from day one — importing, playing and navigating all work with a screen reader. Dynamic Type is supported throughout, and every animation has a reduced-motion variant. Subscription OmniReader is a subscription app with a 7-day free trial. Start the trial, import your first document, and hear a figure described before you decide. Cancel any time in your Apple account settings.

What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated September 15, 2026
Following along, on the page itself. • The word cursor is now on the original page. Open the original view of a PDF or an EPUB and the word being spoken lights up on the real layout — the actual column, the actual line — not only in the text transcript. • The original page stays where you put it. Zoom in on a figure or a dense column and OmniReader keeps that zoom for the book, panning to follow the sentence being read instead of snapping back out every time the page turns. • The highlight keeps better time with the voice. Word timings are now fitted to the pauses in the audio itself, so the cursor holds its place through long passages instead of drifting ahead of what you are hearing. • Prices are shown in your own currency. The subscription screen now quotes what your App Store will actually charge, rather than a dollar figure that was never the real price. • Signing in with Google always offers the account picker, so a second or shared account is no longer a dead end. If a document misreads, tell us at [email protected] — a file that trips the reader is the fastest way to make it better.
