Read aloud webpages, PDFs, Kindle books and AI answers with synced highlighting
Natural AI voices narrate webpages, PDFs, ebooks and documents while each spoken word is highlighted and the page auto-scrolls, so you never lose your place.
Instead of only reading a hard passage, CastReader summarises and unpacks its meaning in the language you know best, with an animated pen marking the key lines in the original text.
Works across Kindle, WeRead, Google Play Books, O'Reilly and other book platforms, news and newsletter sites, Google Docs, Notion, Gmail, plus ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Kimi answers.
Preview real samples of dozens of voices across many languages, and create private cloned voices that Pro members can apply to their own PDF, EPUB, Word and TXT files.
Anime AI art and long-form storytelling in one creative suite
Generate original characters, scenes and full comic pages with NovelAI Diffusion V5, tuned specifically for anime and manga aesthetics.
Write novels, worlds and characters with a text model designed to collaborate rather than write over you, with memory that keeps long stories coherent.
Inpaint specific areas, adjust poses, lighting and clothing, or sketch on a built-in canvas and let the model finish the art.
Define characters and their actions separately so they stay consistent across panels and scenes.
