About CastReader

CastReader reads webpages, PDFs, Kindle books and AI answers aloud with synchronized highlighting across a browser extension, iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows apps. Its Read & Explain mode goes beyond narration: when a passage is difficult, it talks you through the meaning in the language you know best while a pen highlights key points in the original, suiting dyslexia and ADHD readers, students and language learners. A developer Voice API offers private voice cloning in 10 languages.
