CastReader: Read Aloud Books

I use the Spanish voice while following the highlighted text. Being able to hear and see the same sentence makes practice much less tiring.

The app is a big buggy and stumbles over contractions and place names. However, it’s way better than having Alexa or Siri read. It’s obvious it’s AI and it pauses at the end of pages, but it’s usable. For some reason I have not been able to read books when I used to read several a week so audio books are my only option. Cast reader has allowed me to listen to old favorites without cringing (I have aphantasia so sound quality is extremely important to me without visual images to distract me.)

I used to send every PDF to my Kindle, but with dyslexia I still struggled to keep my place. CastReader’s read-aloud highlighting makes long documents much easier to follow without feeling cluttered. Simple, focused, and genuinely useful.
