Listen AI: Text to Speech

Abstract

Listen AI: Text to Speech turns written material into spoken audio, with tools for reading documents, web pages and scanned print. It suits people who prefer listening to reading, including students, commuters and users seeking a more accessible way to work through text. The app is listed under Productivity and is developed by Deep Flow Apps.

What it reads

The app can accept PDFs, eBooks and web addresses, bringing different reading sources into one place. Its camera-based OCR feature can recognise text from physical books and documents, so printed material can also be prepared for narration. This makes it more useful than a basic screen reader when your source is spread across digital and paper formats.

Listening and input tools

Playback includes adjustable reading speeds, with support for rates up to 3×, and visual highlighting that follows the spoken text. Those controls are relevant both to people who want to move quickly through familiar material and to readers who need help maintaining their place. Listen AI also includes speech-to-text dictation for capturing spoken notes or transcribing conversations, extending its use beyond listening.

What to consider

Audio can be exported as MP3 files for listening outside the app, including when an internet connection is unavailable. The combination of document reading, OCR, dictation and audio export gives the app a broader scope than a single-purpose text-to-speech utility, though users looking only for occasional read-aloud support may not need every tool. Its rating is 4.334 from 88,650 reviews, and it has recorded 5,000,000+ installs.
