Text to speech for dyslexia and reading difficulties
Updated: · Agah Emre SÖZEN
Long text is tiring for someone with dyslexia or reading difficulties; listening while following along with your eyes is often much easier. While reads aloud, it highlights the sentence being read on the page and underlines the current word.

Lecture notes, books and photos
PDF, Word, EPUB and text files are read directly. Take a photo of a printed book page or the board with the scanner in the app; the text is recognised and read aloud too.
While reading you can highlight, take notes and turn important sentences into study cards.
Ask about the hard parts
Ask Ai to explain a long or confusing paragraph in plain words; it summarises the document and answers with page numbers. Ai is on a paid plan; a free account gets 10 Ai pages once as a gift.
Frequently asked questions
- Is read-aloud free?
- Yes. Read-aloud with your device's voice is free. More natural cloud voices are on a paid plan; a free account can try them for 10 minutes once.
- Can I see where it's reading?
- Yes. The sentence being read is highlighted, the current word is underlined and the page moves on by itself.
- Can I listen to a printed book?
- Yes. Photograph the page with the scanner in the app; the text is recognised and read aloud.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- In the free tools at quillo.tr, files are processed in your browser and uploaded nowhere. In the app, documents stay on your phone and, if you choose, in your own Google Drive; when you use cloud voices or Ai, only the text to be processed is sent.
