ElevenReader review

ElevenReader comes from ElevenLabs, the voice AI company, and its main strength is how its voices sound. You upload a PDF, document or ePub, paste text, or share an article link, and the app reads it with one of more than 1,000 AI voices in over 30 languages. For readers with dyslexia, the spoken word is highlighted on screen, and ElevenLabs lists dyslexia, ADHD and learning support among its intended uses. Speed runs from 0.25x to 4x, and a pronunciation dictionary fixes names the voice gets wrong. The free plan is unusually generous: ElevenLabs says it includes 10 hours of text to audio a month, roughly a 400-page book. Paid plans start at $10 a month on iOS, and Ultra at $11 a month adds unlimited text to audio, offline downloads and a bundle of premium audiobooks. The trade-off is that layout tools for low vision readers, such as fonts and contrast themes, are less developed than in Voice Dream or Speech Central.
