PDF to audiobook · Free on iOS
Turn any PDF into an audiobook
Upload a PDF and SmartRead converts it into a chaptered audiobook narrated by lifelike AI voices. Listen to reports, textbooks, papers, and ebooks on your commute — hands-free.
From document to audio in three steps
Upload your file — PDF, EPUB, MOBI, TXT, DOCX, or PPTX — SmartRead parses the text and detects chapters automatically.
AI narrates it — Natural neural voices read your document aloud, with an optional AI summary that gets you the key ideas first.
Listen anywhere — Play it in the car, at the gym, or on a walk. Control everything with your voice and ask questions as you listen.
