Dream TTS 2.0 · Thoughtful support for iPhone Duo

Read anything aloud. Watch the page follow.

A natural voice reads your books, PDFs and articles, and the page follows it word by word. Private by design: nothing you read leaves your device.

The voice

A natural voice, in step with every word.

Dream TTS is text to speech that sounds like a person reading, not a machine. It lights each word as it is spoken, so you can look away and find your place again at a glance. Choose from 28 voices in American and British English, and set the pace that suits you.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Chapter I

Down the Rabbit-Hole

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

The page

Set like a printed book.

Every page is typeset for your screen: lines of a comfortable length, headings in proportion, and the illustrations where the illustrator placed them. Turn your iPad on its side or open iPhone Duo, and the book opens across two pages, parted at the fold.
