The text-to-speech app that reads the document, not the page.

AI writes it. Aureley reads it. PDFs, Word files, EPUB, Markdown and web links, read aloud all the way to the end. The only thing you'll hear is the document. Aureley's smart reader skips the page numbers, headers and footers on every page. Just the words, the way they were written.

Aureley. Speaks Volumes.

Aureley is a text-to-speech app for iPhone, iPad and Android that reads your documents aloud: PDFs, Word files, EPUB, RTF, Markdown, plain text and web links. Each word is highlighted as it is read. Plans start at A$14.99 a month with studio-quality natural voices, and your built-in voice (the voice already built into your phone or tablet) keeps reading on every plan, so you are never cut off mid-document.

What Aureley does

Press play. Walk away.

Reads to the end, every time.

You will not be cut off in the middle of a document. Long reports, whole books, a folder of meeting notes. Aureley keeps reading until it is done, and remembers where you left off, on your phone and iPad.

If it's on this page, it works today.

We only describe features that are built and tested. Camera scanning of printed pages isn't ready yet, so we don't claim it.

To learn what people want from a reading app, we read 6,338 app-store reviews of other reading apps. The most common complaints: skipped words, surprise charges, difficulty cancelling, false claims and being cut off mid-document.

Too much to read, not enough time.

Get your time back. Aureley reads your documents to you, in a natural voice that cares.

Your phone or iPad's built-in voice reads everything, on every plan, with no cap. Choose from eleven studio-quality natural voices whenever you want.

Each one carefully selected so you'll still enjoy it an hour in.

Documents in French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese (Brazil) are read aloud in their own language, on every plan.

Aureley · natural voice

Listening that sticks.

On Plus and Max, turn what you just heard into a Summary or a short Quiz, then share it with a study partner or save it to your files, Obsidian or Notion. The study layer is one tap away and never in the way.

Who it's for

Who Aureley is for

ADHD, dyslexia and reading support. Many people with ADHD or dyslexia find listening easier than reading. Aureley reads the whole document without page numbers or headers, highlights each word as it's read, and lets you change the playback speed so you can keep up comfortably.

Students with a reading list. Set readings become something you can listen to on the bus. On Plus and Max, make a Summary before class and a Quiz before the test, then share them with a friend or save them where your notes live.

Reports, contracts and long PDFs at work. Listen to the 60-page report on the way in, and keep your desk time for the parts that need your input.

Builders drowning in AI-written specs. AI writes it. Aureley reads it. Markdown files, specs and notes, read aloud, then saved back to Obsidian or Notion.

Emails, recipes and school reports. Not everything is a 60-page PDF. Paste an email, a recipe or your child's school report, and listen while you get on with your day.

Low vision and tired eyes. When reading a screen is hard work, let Aureley read to you. Our founder, Mel, lives with lasting vision impairment from optic neuritis, and uses Aureley every day.

Before you start

What is the best app to read PDFs aloud?

Look for one that reads the whole document without the page numbers, headers and footers. Aureley does that on iPhone, iPad and Android, highlights each word as it's read, and if your natural-voice hours run out, keeps reading in your built-in voice, so you're never cut off mid-document, or mid-month.

What files can Aureley read?

PDFs, Word documents (.doc and .docx), EPUB, RTF, Markdown, plain text, web links and pasted text, like emails. Video links, such as YouTube, are not read.

How do I listen to work documents and research papers with Aureley?

Share the file to Aureley, or paste a web link, then press play. Long reports and papers read straight through, without confusing you with page numbers, headers or footers, and on Plus and Max you can make a Summary when you're done.

What does Aureley cost after the trial?

Starter is A$14.99 a month, Plus A$19.99 and Max A$24.99. The trial is seven days free, card required.

Will Aureley charge me automatically?

Yes, on day 8 and then each month until you cancel. We email you before your trial ends, so you know when your payment will start. You can cancel any time and keep what you've already paid for.

What does Aureley do with my documents?

Nothing beyond reading them to you. Nothing you import is used to train AI models or anything else. Paid plans have no ads and no ad tracking, and we never sell your data.

How do I cancel Aureley?

From your billing page, any Aureley email, or your phone or tablet's subscription settings, whenever you like. No phone call, and no one trying to talk you out of it. The steps are in the FAQ.

Is there a free version of Aureley?

Yes. You can choose not to subscribe and keep using Aureley free, with unlimited listening in your built-in voice and each word highlighted. The free plan may show ads. Paid plans add studio-quality natural voices, and Plus and Max add Summary and Quiz.
