Practical guides on listening to what you read: how text-to-speech apps compare, how to have a book translated into your language while it is read to you, and how to get a PDF read aloud on a computer without fighting the software.
Auris Reader is a desktop and Android app that reads EPUB and PDF documents aloud with neural voices and can translate them as it reads. We write these guides from that work, so we tell you plainly where our own app fits and where another one is the better answer.
Best text-to-speech apps to read EPUB and PDF aloud
Seven apps compared on the things that actually decide it: which platforms they run on, whether the voices sound human, what they cost, and whether they can translate. Includes where each one falls short.
How to listen to a book written in another language
You have an English book and you would rather listen to it in your own language. Not a language course: the book, translated and read aloud, in four steps.
How to have a PDF read aloud on Windows
Four ways to do it — Edge, Adobe Reader, NaturalReader and Auris Reader — with the limits of each, and how to keep your place in a 400-page document.
Auris Reader reads your EPUB and PDF files aloud with neural voices in 12 languages, and translates them while it reads. Windows, Linux and Android.
