What’s new

Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 1, 2026

New voices • Four new Vietnamese voices: Hải Đăng, Ngọc Huyền, Thái Sơn and Trúc Ly. • A Mandarin voice, Gù Niàn (顾念), with an optional pinyin line under each Chinese sentence. New • Save a document as an audio file (M4A) into any folder you choose: reader menu > Save audio file. • Restore your library from a backup: Settings > Data controls. • Rate PaperHear from Settings. • New libraries on a Vietnamese phone start with a Vietnamese welcome document. Fixes • After a document plays to the end, Play starts it again from the top. • The progress bar on the lock screen can be dragged. • A voice download interrupted by leaving the app continues where it stopped. • Scanning a page detects its language, so Vietnamese scans keep their accents. • Leaving the reader keeps your place, and finished documents stay marked as finished.
