How it works

Upload a dialogue-based PDF, assign a voice to each speaker, and listen as every character is read aloud.

1. Upload your PDF

Choose a PDF containing selectable text. Each speaker’s name should appear before their dialogue, followed by a colon.

2. Assign the voices

Enter each character’s name, then select and preview the Apple system voice that will read their dialogue.

3. Start listening

Multi-Voice Reader identifies each speaker and reads the document aloud using the voices you selected.

Format your PDF like this

Leo: Are you ready to go?

Maya: Almost. Give me five minutes.

Narrator: Leo looked toward the door.

Each name followed by a colon is treated as a separate speaker.

Who It's For

Whether you're writing, editing, studying, or simply enjoying a story, Multi-Voice Reader brings dialogue to life with distinct voices for each speaker.

✍️ Writers

Hear your dialogue performed aloud and discover conversations that feel awkward, repetitive, or unnatural before you share your work.

🎭 Script Writers

Assign a unique voice to each character to better evaluate pacing, personality, and the flow of conversations.

🎙️ Audio Creators

Preview scripts with multiple voices before recording with narrators or voice actors.

🎓 Students & Educators

Practice conversations, language exercises, classroom dialogue, and presentations with separate voices for each speaker.

📄 Single-Voice Reading

Prefer a single voice? Multi-Voice Reader also works as a traditional PDF reader by automatically using a single Reader voice.

📄 🎤 Voice Actors & Performers

Rehearse dialogue and experiment with different character voices before a live performance or recording.

One Reader or a Full Cast

Multi-Voice Reader works whether your PDF has a single narrator or an entire cast of characters. Choose one voice for traditional reading or assign a different Apple system voice to each speaker.

📖 Read with One Voice

Choose one voice for articles, books, essays, and ordinary PDFs. The app automatically uses the name Reader and reads the entire document with that voice.

🎭 Read with a Full Cast

Assign a different voice to each speaker in dialogue, scripts, and stories. Narrators can have their own voice, and Pro supports up to 10 voices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about PDF formatting, Apple voices, offline use, privacy, and the difference between Free and Pro.

What format should my PDF use?

Multi-Voice Reader works best with PDFs that contain selectable text. Dialogue should be formatted with each speaker's name followed by a colon, such as:

Emma: Hello there.
Narrator: Emma opened the old wooden door.

Can I use Multi-Voice Reader with an ordinary PDF?

Yes. Choose one voice and Multi-Voice Reader automatically reads the entire document using a single reader named Reader. Character formatting is not required.

Does a narrator count as a voice?

Yes. A narrator is treated like any other speaker and receives its own voice. For example, a story with one character and a narrator uses two voices.

Where do the voices come from?

Multi-Voice Reader uses Apple's built-in speech voices. The voices available in the app depend on which voices are installed on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Can I download additional Apple voices?

Yes. Apple provides additional voices that can be downloaded through your device's Accessibility settings. Once installed, they automatically become available for selection in Multi-Voice Reader.

Does Multi-Voice Reader require an internet connection?

No. Normal reading works entirely offline. An internet connection is only needed to download the app, install additional Apple voices, or receive app updates.

Are my PDFs uploaded to Precomind?

No. Your PDFs remain on your device during normal reading. Multi-Voice Reader does not upload your documents to Precomind's servers.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

The free version supports up to 2 voices, making it perfect for one reader, two-character conversations, or a narrator plus one character. Pro expands support to 10 voices for larger casts and dialogue-heavy stories.

Will Multi-Voice Reader work with scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF contains selectable text. If your PDF is made up of scanned images, you'll need to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) before importing it into Multi-Voice Reader.

Does Multi-Voice Reader work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

Yes. Multi-Voice Reader provides the same core experience across all three Apple platforms. The interface adapts to each device while keeping the workflow consistent.
