What ReadGoodr does
ReadGoodr is a text-to-speech reader for iPhone. Paste or type text, open a URL, import an existing document, or scan a printed page. Choose Pro for English or Max for all 10 supported languages. The whole app is designed around one thing: the shortest possible path from “I want to read this” to “I'm listening to it.”
From text or a URL to audio
Paste copied text, open an article URL, or import an existing document and continue in the same focused player. The direct in-app path is the current public product promise for Pro, Max, and their tier-matched trials.
- 1

- 2

- 3
Listen
Paste or import the source, then start listening.
A Control Center control exists in the current build, but its end-to-end clipboard handoff is still under test and is not part of this promise yet.
Clean reading view from a URL · Pro or Max
Paste a link and ReadGoodr strips the noise: publication dates, image captions, photo credits, related-story sidebars. It keeps the headline, the lead, and the body, and lays them out so the page looks roughly like the original but with only the parts you actually want read aloud.
Scan books and documents · Pro or Max
Curved pages from a physical book are usually a problem for OCR. ReadGoodr handles them. Scan a spread, a single page, or a stack of documents, and it reads back in the language the text is written in.
Cloud documents · Pro or Max
Import supported documents through Files and iCloud Drive, or connect Google Drive or Dropbox. Each provider feeds the document into the same ReadGoodr import flow.
Voice options for supported languages
Pro is for English, with US and UK voice options. Max unlocks the complete catalog across all 10 supported languages and has no separate Omni usage limit. If a voice feels wrong after the first paragraph, change it and continue from the same place.

Direct text without an import step
Paste or type text into ReadGoodr directly. This path is useful for proofreading your own writing by ear, or for converting a note into something you can listen to on a walk.
The player
Two main screens. A library sorted by date with source favicons. And the player itself, where you can:
- Play, pause, jump backStandard transport controls, made big enough to use without looking.
- Speed up to 3×Without the voice turning into a chipmunk.
- Switch voice or dialectMid-paragraph. Audio continues from where you were.
- Tap any wordThe audio jumps and starts reading from that point.
- Save to favoritesAnything in your library can be pinned.
A highlight that keeps your place
The current line stays in the middle of the screen and the text scrolls up underneath it, the way a teleprompter does. If you scroll ahead to skim, a small button brings you back to wherever the audio is. Eyes and ears can take turns without you losing your place.
Honest scope
ReadGoodr is iPhone-first. The release target also includes iPad, but iPad launch support is not yet confirmed or physically tested. Pro and Max each include 30 hours of newly generated Pro Voice per personal rolling 30-day period. Replaying audio already generated and cached does not consume the allowance again. ReadGoodr does not market a public Free subscription; a limited Apple-voice mode exists only after someone actively chooses not to subscribe.
