READSMITHListen to any PDF offline — page numbers and headers skipped, no account, no limits.
Open a report, contract, textbook or paper and listen while you walk, cook or rest your eyes. Readsmith skips the clutter and reads in the background.
Get it on Google PlayFree with ads. Readsmith Pro removes ads and unlocks every tool — yearly, monthly, or once for life.
Clean Listen
Page numbers, repeating headers and footers, hyphen breaks and footnote marks are skipped, so you hear the text, not the layout.
Plays with the screen off
Lock your phone and keep listening. Bluetooth and headset buttons work, and it remembers the exact sentence you stopped on.
Offline, no account, no limits
Open any PDF with a text layer, as many files and pages as you like. Your phone's offline voices read it, with speed from 0.5x to 3x and a sleep timer.
Skip Zones (Pro)
Drag a box once over a header or margin note and that area is skipped on every page.
Citations and two columns (Pro)
Filter out [12] and (Smith 2020) citations, stop at the References section, and read two-column papers in the right order.
Private by design
Your documents are read on your phone and never uploaded. Scanned PDFs without a text layer are not supported yet, and the app says so.
