Drop in a PDF, an ebook, a dense report, a chapter you photographed: Vocalize reads it back in a voice you'll actually want in your ears. Your whole library, out loud, everywhere you go. The free plan reads with your device's own voices; natural voices like the one in the sample below, and photographed pages, come with Premium.
I was six when the pills started. Yellow, with a glass of tap water. My mother watched me swallow it.
Textbooks, court filings, your own novel draft, a 90-page PDF nobody wants to read, the printed page you snapped with your phone (with Premium). It all becomes clean, listenable audio.
Works on iPhone, iPad, Android and computers. EPUBs without copy protection open fine; books bought on Kindle or Apple Books are copy-protected and can't be opened.
The line being read lights up as you listen, in both the clean text view and the original page. Look up, look back, never lose your place.
Savor a novel or blast through a study guide at double speed. Pitch stays natural, so fast never means chipmunk.
Export any chapter as an MP3 and drop it on your phone, your car, your run. No signal required to keep listening. (Premium)
Press play and the narration begins almost instantly, with no long buffering while a whole chapter loads. It stays ahead of you as you listen.
Jot a note pinned to the exact line you heard it, bookmark the spot, highlight what matters. Everything is one tap away while you read.
Lock your phone and keep listening like a real audiobook app. Pause, resume, and skip straight from your Bluetooth headphones or the lock screen.
Pick from 1,000+ natural voices in 50+ languages, and preview any voice in the app before you choose it. Start free with the voices already on your device, or, on Premium, turn on the Second reader and dialogue comes alive with two voices trading lines.
50+ specialty narrators with actual personality: a velvet-voiced villain, a French storyteller, a warm Irish narrator, sassy leads, whispery calm readers. Preview them all, then let one perform a chapter (Studio plan).
Record about twenty seconds and Vocalize reads your chapters, stories and drafts back in your voice, or a loved one's, with their permission. Part of the Studio plan, with 2 hours of cloned and character voices a month.
"Two-voice mode makes dialogue-heavy books actually fun to listen to. I'm hooked."
Vocalize's AI turns a stack of pages into something you can actually use: before, during, or instead of the full read.
Two AI hosts riff on your document like it's their favorite topic. Pick a quick overview or a full deep-dive, then just press play.
Get the gist in a few sentences, or a tight bullet snapshot of the key takeaways, grounded only in what's actually on the page.
Ask questions and get answers from the text. Or generate a quick quiz to see if it actually stuck. Great for students and curious minds.
Add Vocalize to your home screen and it opens like a real app: full screen, lock-screen controls, and it remembers exactly where you left off.
iPhone and iPad: open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Android: open it in Chrome and tap Install, or get the Vocalize app on Google Play.
Every one of these started with a document nobody had time to read, then turned it into a walk, a drive, a workout, a win.
