Turn any text, PDF, image or book into lifelike AI speech
Voices trained on large language models deliver lifelike delivery, while Content Aware voices read the text and adjust tone to fit the material.
Speak in over 90 languages and create a custom multilingual AI voice by uploading or recording your own.
Read PDFs, Word documents, ePub, web pages and images, and scan physical books with the built-in OCR camera scanner.
Turn long readings into AI podcasts, get instant recaps, analyse screenshots and equations, chat with your document and generate practice quizzes.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
