YOM
Textbooks, papers, anything—
learn it all by ear.
Just snap a photo and high-quality AI voice reads it aloud. On your commute, between chores, while you work out—with a single pair of earbuds, the material you wanted to read sinks in.
Camera scan, web articles & text / Read-aloud & translation in 7 languages / Apple system voices play offline
Sound familiar?
Reading with your eyes only gets you so far.
Your eyes are too tired to take it in
After a full day of screens, you have no energy left to follow page after page of text.
Your focus slips the moment you start
You read the same line over and over, and all that’s left is drowsiness.
You just can't carve out a solid block of time
Stacking up spare moments on the commute or while doing chores is more realistic than an hour at your desk.
When you have time, your eyes and hands are full
On the move or mid-workout, you can't open a book and follow the words.
Three simple steps
Snap → Listen → Repeat.
Snap a photo
Photograph any textbook or exam and OCR turns it into text—skew and curvature corrected, clutter excluded.
Listen the instant you scan
With Scan & Listen, playback starts the moment you shoot. Keep scanning the next page—the narration never stops.
Repeat by ear
On your commute or chores, with just earbuds. Replay any page, or loop the whole book.
Features
Two standouts that power learning by ear.
Camera scan
Turn paper materials into audio just by photographing them. With Scan & Listen, capture and playback run in parallel, so reading continues while you snap the next page. It handles vertical and horizontal reading order, and automatically excludes figures and tables from narration so you can check them on the page image.
AI Scan Refine
On-device AI reshapes OCR results into text that's easy to listen to. Natural phrasing is the key to good read-aloud. No connection needed, free, and offline (Apple Intelligence–capable devices).
Repeat playback
Replay any page as often as you like (or loop a whole book). Great for review and memorization.
Adjustable speed
Adjust from 0.5× to 2.0×. Skim quickly or slow down to memorize.
Activity tracking
Visualize your study with rings for listening time and character count, plus a habit calendar.
And more — web articles, text & screenshots / translation / read-aloud & translation in 7 languages / offline playback with Apple system voices
Who it's for
Turn your free-ear time into learning.
Exam & certification candidates
Thick textbooks and past exams alike—just snap and listen, over and over. Even on days you can't sit down, it adds up through your ears.
Students
Textbooks and lecture notes on your commute.
Busy professionals
Turn spare moments into study time.
Researchers & professionals
Papers and documents, on the move.
Language learners
Read-aloud and translation in 7 languages.
Anyone resting their eyes
Read with your ears, not your eyes.
Fast & smooth
Listen the moment you scan.
OCR and AI Scan Refine run instantly on-device. Thanks to the Scan & Listen design where capture and playback run in parallel, narration keeps going even while you photograph the next page.
