Lector

Text to speech (TTS) reader for TXT, PDF & EPUB: free, private, offline

Lector is a text to speech (TTS) reader: it reads your documents aloud — beautifully, privately, and completely free.

Open a TXT, Markdown, EPUB, or PDF — a single file or a whole folder — or paste text, or share to Lector from any app. Lector turns it into a clean, paged reader and reads it to you using your device's own text-to-speech voices, highlighting the current sentence as it goes. Turn any ebook or document into a spoken audiobook.

Features:
* Text-to-speech (TTS) read-aloud for TXT, Markdown, EPUB, PDF, and other text files
* Works with any installed TTS engine and voice (choose voice and language)
* A real library: scan a folder and Lector remembers your books
* Picks up where you left off in every document
* Page view with a slider to move through a whole book
* Adjustable speech speed, sleep timer, and background-friendly controls

Private by design: no ads, no accounts, no trackers, no network access, and no permissions at all. Your text never leaves your device. Speech is generated on-device by the text to speech engine already on your phone.

Free and open source (GPLv3).
