Use Audio for the Reading That Does Not Need Your Eyes

Frequently Asked Questions

How can text to speech change a digital eye strain reading task?

Text to speech moves continuous digital text into audio, so you do not need to visually track every word. You can look back for charts, formatting, links, editing, and other visual details.

Does Readify treat or prevent eye strain?

No. Readify is a text-to-speech reading tool, not a medical device, diagnosis, prevention method, or treatment. Persistent, severe, or changing eye discomfort or vision symptoms should be discussed with a qualified eye care professional.

Can Readify replace eye breaks or workstation changes?

No. Audio can change how you consume text, but it does not replace breaks, blinking, suitable lighting, comfortable screen settings, workstation adjustments, or professional advice.

Do I have to watch the highlighted text while listening?

No. Highlighting is optional. Look away while listening, follow the text when helpful, or move between both approaches according to the material.

What files can Readify read aloud?

Readify supports EPUB, PDF, DOCX, AZW, MOBI, and TXT files. It can also read compatible web content through the browser extension.

Can I pause, replay, or adjust the reading speed?

Yes. Pause whenever you want to stop, replay a sentence, and change playback speed as the content or your preference changes.

Is Readify free to try?

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