LoudReader

LoudReader is an offline audiobook application that converts any text, EPUB, or PDF into an audio experience using natural-sounding AI voices. Designed for privacy and convenience, the app ensures that all processing occurs locally on the user's device, with no data leaving the phone, no cloud involvement, and no accounts required. Users can listen to any imported document—such as work memos, legal documents, or personal letters—or browse a library of over 70,000 free classics from Project Gutenberg, all while maintaining complete privacy.

The platform offers eight distinct AI voices, each running entirely on the device, and provides synchronized word-by-word highlighting so listeners can read along as they listen. 0x, background play with the screen off, night mode for comfortable reading after dark, and a sleep timer that automatically stops playback. Users can also highlight passages, save notes, jump instantly to any chapter, and enjoy ambient soundscapes such as rain, fireplace, or ocean waves. The interface supports font and text size adjustments, allowing for a tailored reading and listening experience.

LoudReader is available for download on the App Store and is structured around a free forever pricing model with no limits on listening or library size. The free tier includes unlimited listening, access to every AI voice for the first eight hours, and over 100 curated classics through themed reading campaigns. For additional features such as unlimited use of all eight AI voices, advanced playback controls, sleep timer, ambient soundscapes, and enhanced note-taking, users can upgrade to a premium plan. The premium subscription is offered at a monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime rate, with the first month free and the option to cancel anytime.

By focusing on offline functionality, privacy, and a rich set of listening and reading tools, LoudReader addresses the needs of users who want to turn any text into an audiobook experience without relying on cloud services or compromising personal data.
