Frequently Asked Questions

What is screen-free reading?

Screen-free reading uses text-to-speech to turn written material into audio, so you can continue with the same books, articles, and documents without watching every line on a display.

What can Readify read aloud?

Readify supports readable web content and common document formats including EPUB, PDF, DOCX, AZW, MOBI, and TXT. Results for webpages depend on how the site presents its readable content.

Does screen-free reading replace the original text?

No. Readify keeps the original reading available, so you can listen when audio is convenient and return to quotations, charts, links, or close visual reading when needed.

Can I change the text-to-speech voice and speed?

Yes. You can choose a natural voice and adjust playback speed for a quick review, a comfortable long-form listen, or a slower technical passage.

Can I follow the text when I look at the screen again?

Yes. Synchronized highlighting connects the narration to the current sentence, helping you switch between listening and visual reading without losing your place.

Is screen-free reading the same as an audiobook?

Not exactly. An audiobook is a produced recording of a specific title. Readify uses text-to-speech to narrate the compatible books, articles, webpages, and documents you choose.

Is Readify free to try?

Yes. Readify is free to start, so you can test screen-free reading with your own compatible document or readable webpage.
