What is different
- Neural voices run fully on the iPhone, so natural-sounding reading works offline and nothing is sent to a server.
- Word-level highlighting in the original PDF layout, not only in extracted text.
- One multilingual model reads 31 languages and picks the voice by the language of the text.
- Free, without a character limit or listening quota.
