No subscriptions, no cloud - runs entirely on your device.\nListen 2 Reader runs neural text-to-speech directly on your iPhone or iPad. No cloud services. No subscriptions. No accounts.\nMost text-to-speech apps either use basic system voices or require monthly payments for cloud processing. Listen2 runs neural voice models locally on your device, giving you natural-sounding speech without ongoing costs or privacy tradeoffs.\nWHAT MAKES LISTEN2 DIFFERENT\nNeural Voices, Not System Voices\nListen2 uses Piper neural network models, the same technology behind professional TTS systems. Choose from over 70 voices across 8 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, and Swedish. Download once, use forever. Every voice included with the app.\nMachine Learning Word Sync\nOur CTC forced alignment system uses ML to match audio to text at the word level. Watch each word highlight precisely as it's spoken — even in our first non-Latin script integration, Russian Cyrillic.\nSmart Document Reading\nOur PDF engine handles multi-column layouts, filters out page numbers and footnotes, and rejoins hyphenated words. AI Vision extraction handles scanned and image-based PDFs. Full support for EPUB, DOCX, and DAISY digital talking books.\nTrue Offline Privacy\nDocument processing, text normalization, and speech synthesis all happen on-device.
