About ElevenLabs Reader

ElevenReader is a free AI-powered text-to-speech application developed by ElevenLabs. It enables users to listen to any text content—including books, PDFs, articles, newsletters, and ePubs—with ultra-realistic AI voices. The app supports 32 languages and offers hundreds of high-definition voices, including a selection from licensed Iconic Voices. A standout feature is GenFM, which generates smart, personalized podcasts from user-uploaded content. Users can import files via upload (ePub, PDF), article links, image scanning, or direct text pasting. The app includes focused listening with synchronized word highlighting and adjustable reading pace. It is currently free to download and use on iOS and Android, with no credit consumption from web platform plans. Export of audio is not available in the app; audio creation and export require the web platform.
