YapIt — Listen to anything
Turn any article, PDF, document, or photo of text into natural, expressive narration — with every sentence and word highlighted in time with the audio.
Coming soon to the App Store.
Read less. Listen more.
YapIt is a text-to-speech reader for people who'd rather listen — students, commuters, multitaskers, and anyone who finds listening easier than reading, including dyslexia and low-vision users.
Import from anywhere
Paste or type text, import a web link, PDF, or text file, or snap a photo of a page with the camera (OCR).
Follow every word
Natural, expressive voices tuned to each document, with sentence- and word-level highlighting that tracks the audio.
Scan follow-along
Scan a page and watch the words light up on the scanned image as they're read aloud.
Your saved library
Keep documents organized in folders. Audio is cached on your device for free, offline replay.
Works offline & free
A built-in on-device voice always works offline at no cost; expressive premium voices are available as an upgrade.
Private by design
Your text and audio stay on your device — nothing you listen to is stored on our servers. No ads, no cross-app tracking.
What you listen to stays yours
To create narration, text is sent to our backend and on to our speech provider, then discarded — we don't persist your text, audio, or timing data server-side. Generated audio lives only in a cache on your device. You're identified only by an anonymous, on-device ID, never your real-world identity.
