ElevenReader by ElevenLabs

ElevenReader by ElevenLabs is the official text-to-speech reading app built by ElevenLabs, the voice AI company behind the widely used Eleven text-to-speech models. It takes written material — ePubs, PDFs, imported article links, scanned images and plain pasted text — and narrates it aloud with a curated library of hundreds of high-definition AI voices. A word-highlighting follow-along mode syncs the spoken audio with the text at whatever pace you choose, which helps both casual listeners and people using the app for accessibility.

The app is designed for hands-free listening: use it on a commute, at the gym, while working around the house, or while studying. It ships with a collection of literary classics, newsletters and articles that you can start listening to immediately, and iOS users can also use GenFM to generate AI co-hosted mini podcasts from their own content. It recently added screen-reading capabilities and an Iconic Voices collection licensed from well-known performers.

ElevenReader itself is entirely free — it does not consume credits from the paid ElevenLabs web subscription, and the company has stated it intends to keep a generous free tier even if a premium version arrives later. The app supports listening in 32 languages, and voice clones created on the paid web platform can be enabled for personal use inside the app (Voice Design voices are not supported).
