What is ReadLens?

Turn any printed page into spoken audio in seconds. Snap a photo, hit play, and listen as each word lights up — like karaoke for reading.

ReadLens is the easiest way to listen to anything written: textbook chapters, lecture slides, handwritten notes, restaurant menus, street signs, magazine articles, even photos of a screen. It's text-to-speech that actually fits how people read.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Snap a photo of anything with text
  2. We pull the words out and read them back in a clear, natural voice
  3. Each word glows as it's spoken — tap any word to jump straight to it

PERFECT FOR • Students who'd rather listen to a chapter than re-read it • Commuters who want to "read" hands-free in the car or on the train • Language learners hearing pronunciation while seeing each word • Anyone with dyslexia, low vision, ADHD, or reading fatigue • Travelers translating signs and menus on the go • Busy parents catching up on articles between school runs

FEATURES • Snap & listen — works with books, slides, handwriting, signs, screens • Karaoke-style word-by-word highlighting that's easy to follow • Tap any word to seek instantly to that point in the audio • Translate as you listen — hear pages in a language you're learning • Natural-sounding voices powered by ElevenLabs and OpenAI • Multi-language support for both source text and translation • Clean, distraction-free reader designed for long sessions • Personal library — every snap is saved so you can pick up where you left off • Light & dark themes that adapt to your system • Fully translated app interface in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese
