Let your phone or computer read to you
If small print is hard on your eyes, or reading takes more effort than it should, you're not alone — and you may already own everything you need. Most phones, tablets and computers can read text out loud for free.
ReadItAloud is a small, independent guide that explains how, in plain language. We'll also tell you honestly when a paid app is worth it, and when it isn't.
Try it now: press the “Read this page aloud” button above. It uses the voice already built into your browser — nothing to install, and nothing is sent to us.
Who this site is for
- Older readers who find screens and small print tiring
- People with low vision, including macular degeneration
- Dyslexic readers and their families
- Caregivers helping someone else
- Anyone who would simply rather listen than read

Our promise
We tell you exactly what we tested ourselves and what we researched. We don't use pop-ups, and we don't show tracking ads. Read more about us and how we work.
