JustRead
Read it. Hear it. Save it.
Anything readable on your phone, out loud. JustRead captures what is on screen — an article, a document, a message — reads it aloud, and can save it as text or audio to keep. Processing stays on your phone wherever it practically can, and there is no account to make.
Free to read aloud. JustRead Pro is US$9.99, once. No subscription, no expiry, no account – you own this copy and it keeps working. Updates are included for as long as the product is maintained.
More than a text-to-speech reader
Plenty of apps will read a page you paste into them. The point of JustRead is that you should not have to: whatever you are already looking at should be one tap from being read aloud, and one more from being saved in a form you can use.
Available now on Google Play. Here’s what it does:
One tap from anywhere
Tap the Quick Settings tile or the accessibility button and JustRead reads the screen of the app you are already in — an article, an email, a message.
Keeps reading when you leave
Reading carries on in the background, with pause and stop in the notification.
Follow along as it reads
The sentence being spoken is highlighted, so you can read and listen at the same time.
Open what you already have
PDF, Word, EPUB, web pages and plain text — open them in JustRead or share them to it, and it reads them aloud.
Save it as audio
Convert to Audio turns text into an audio file you keep on your phone — for a drive, a walk, or listening again later.
Record what you hear
Record from the microphone. With JustRead Pro, you can also record the sound playing on your phone.
Permissions are explained in plain words before anything is asked for, and screen reading only starts after you’ve agreed to what it does.
Built to stay out of your way
No advertising, no cloud account you did not ask for, and no reason for your reading to leave your phone.
