What is ?
Quillo is a reading and study app that reads PDFs, Word files, EPUBs, photos, scanned paper, web articles and any text aloud in a natural voice.

What it does
Quillo makes any text listenable: it pauses at punctuation, reads numbers, dates and prices the way a person says them, highlights the sentence being read and keeps reading with the screen off. The device's own voices and free offline Piper voices are built in; Quillo Cloud voice adds studio-quality female and male narrators.
Quillo Ai lets you ask a document or your whole library: summaries, explanations, flashcards, quizzes, "what does this clause mean?". Answers cite the page. You can ask by voice and hear the answer; it is designed voice-first for blind, low-vision and dyslexic users.
The document scanner finds edges, flattens pages and recognizes text (OCR). The PDF tools merge, split, compress, password-protect and convert to Word, and add letterhead, signature and stamp. These tools also work on quillo.tr without an account, and files are processed in the browser.
Pricing: why most of it is free
Everything that runs on the user's phone is free and stays free. Only the two things that cost us real money every time they are used are paid: Quillo Cloud voice and Quillo Ai. Starter gives 30 minutes of cloud voice and 15 Ai pages a month, Pro 90 minutes and 40 pages; add-on hour and page packs are available. In Türkiye Starter is 99 TL a month and Pro 249 TL.
Privacy
Documents, notes and Quillo Ai chats stay on the user's device and, if they choose, in a "Quillo" folder in their own Google Drive; they are never uploaded to or stored on our servers. With cloud voice and Quillo Ai only the text needed for that operation passes through our server to Google (speech) or Anthropic (answers) and is not stored. No ads in the app, no data sale.
Who makes it
Quillo is built and run by Agah Emre SÖZEN, an independent developer based in Türkiye. The goal: read-aloud and document work in one app, at about half the price of the big read-aloud apps.
Frequently asked questions
- Can make exams?
- Yes. The exam maker uses Quillo Ai to write multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, matching and open-ended questions from notes, books or sample questions; the exam paper and answer key come out as PDF and students take it in the app. Details: quillo.tr/ai-quiz-generator.
- Can Ai search the web?
- Yes. With chat › ··· › Search the web turned on, or when you say "search the web" or "is there case law for this?", it searches for current information, legislation and court decisions; it writes only what it actually found and puts the source link next to each item. Invented links are caught and removed. When writing a letter, Tools › Write a letter › Find case law does the same.
- Can I talk to Ai by voice?
- Yes. In voice chat you talk, Quillo Ai answers out loud and keeps listening. If you start speaking while it talks, its voice fades and it listens to you; a short cough doesn't stop it. Blind and low-vision users can use the whole app by talking.
- What do Fast, Balanced and Most careful mean in Ai?
- You choose how carefully Quillo Ai works. Fast is the default and the cheapest: 10 document pages use just 1 Ai page, enough for most jobs. Balanced gives deeper answers; Most careful uses the most careful model and twice the pages, for jobs where a mistake is costly, such as a contract or an official letter.
- Is free?
- Yes, every feature that runs on the device is free: read aloud, device and Piper voices, document scanner, PDF tools, letterhead, signature and stamp, Google Drive sync. Only Quillo Cloud voice and Quillo Ai are paid; signing up gives 10 minutes of cloud voice and 10 Ai pages as a gift.
- Which AI does Ai use?
- Quillo Ai generates its answers with Anthropic's Claude models; the cloud voice uses Google's Gemini speech synthesis. Text that is sent is not stored and not used for model training.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Read aloud works offline with device voices and Piper voices, and the scanner, text recognition and PDF tools run on the device. Only cloud voice, Quillo Ai and Drive sync need the internet.
- Which languages?
- The app and quillo.tr are in Turkish, English, German and Spanish. With the device's voices it reads other languages too; translation supports 59 languages.
- How is it different from Speechify or NaturalReader?
- Besides read-aloud, Quillo includes a document scanner, PDF tools, letterhead, signature and stamp and an AI that knows your whole library, in one app; everything that runs on the device is free and the paid plan costs about half of the big read-aloud apps.
- Where are my files stored?
- On your device and, if you like, in your own Google Drive. Quillo does not store your files on its servers.
