Read the publisher’s full description
CastReader is a text-to-speech extension for reading webpages, PDFs and EPUB books aloud in Microsoft Edge. Natural voices, synchronized word and paragraph highlighting, and automatic scrolling help you follow long articles with your eyes and ears together. Use AI Explain when a passage is difficult. It marks key ideas and explains them on the original page, so you can compare the explanation with the source as you read. What you can do - Webpages: read long articles, study materials and technical documentation on the original page. - PDF and EPUB: open files in CastReader’s document reader and follow the text as it is spoken. EPUB files must be DRM-free and contain readable text. - Reading controls: start at a chosen paragraph, adjust the speed, preview voices and save your favorites. 28 reading languages Read in English and 27 other supported languages. The interface and reading tools support 28 languages; the text language is detected automatically and can be corrected. Choose the explanation language separately. Free and Pro voice choices vary by language. Kindle Web compatibility depends on the book edition. Scanned documents require supported OCR and clear source images; OCR coverage differs from reading-language coverage.
