This app by ElevenLabs, called “Reader,” is absolutely next-level!

ElevenLabs leads the AI space in voice synthesis. You can upload your own voice sample and it’ll clone you with uncanny accuracy! Alternatively, you can use one of their many library voices. Imagine iconic superstars like Burt Reynolds or Judy Garland reading the article to you.

A few other noteworthy features:

1. The app has a lock-screen setting, so it’ll read in the background while your phone is locked, preventing accidental button presses.

2. You can skip forward and backward 15 seconds, like a podcast.

3. It can read more than just article URLs—you can load PDFs or eBooks too.

This app will be particularly valuable for users who prefer auditory learning or who find themselves frequently on the move.
