A little room for reading
Listen to what you meant to read.
Turn book covers into spoken summaries. Bring a PDF or an article to hear the text, with words highlighted as you listen.

Three ways in
Snap a cover
Point your camera at a book. Readia identifies it and narrates a spoken summary you can listen to on the walk home.
Import a PDF
Bring in a report, a paper, or a manuscript and hear the author's own words — nothing rewritten, nothing summarised away.
Paste a link
Drop in the address of an article you saved and never got to. It becomes something you can listen to instead.
Follow along, word by word
Every word lights up exactly as the narrator says it. Read and listen at the same time, or glance down mid-commute and know precisely where you are.
She had been reading the same paragraph for twenty minutes.
Word-by-word highlighting, as it appears in the reader.
The timing comes from the narration itself, not from a guess about reading speed — so the highlight stays on the word being spoken, minute after minute.
Playing in seconds, not minutes
Readia starts speaking the opening paragraphs while the rest is still being prepared. You are listening almost immediately instead of watching a progress bar fill.
