Let your PDF read itself to you

Pick a voice, set the speed, and listen while each sentence lights up as it is spoken.

Tip: tap any sentence to start reading from there.

How it works

  1. Open the PDF you want to hear.
  2. Choose a voice and a comfortable speed.
  3. Press Play. Tap any sentence to jump to it.

Who listens to PDFs?

Students getting through reading lists on the bus. People with dyslexia or tired eyes. Anyone proofreading their own writing, since hearing it out loud catches mistakes the eye skips. Busy people who would rather listen to a report while cooking than sit and read it.

The voices come from your device

readmypdf uses the speech voices already built into your phone or computer. That keeps everything private and free. Apple, Microsoft and Google devices all include several natural sounding voices and accents to choose from.

Your documents are nobody else's business

Contracts, medical letters, bank statements, unpublished manuscripts. Many online PDF tools upload them to a server you know nothing about. readmypdf opens, reads and converts everything inside your own browser, so your files never leave your device.

Good questions

Why can't it read my scanned PDF?

Scanned pages are pictures of text, not real text, so there is nothing for the voice to read. PDFs made from Word, Google Docs or websites work perfectly.

Can I change the speed while it reads?

Yes. Move the slider and the next sentence uses the new speed.

Is there a word limit?

No. It reads the whole document, one sentence at a time.
