Description
Listen2 runs neural text-to-speech directly on your iPhone or iPad without connecting to cloud services. No subscription or accounts — just a 7 day free trial and then a one-time purchase.
Most text-to-speech apps either use the tried and true system voices or require monthly payments for cloud processing. Listen2 runs neural voice models locally using your iOS device's CPU and Apple Neural Engine, giving you natural-sounding speech without ongoing costs or privacy tradeoffs.
WHAT MAKES LISTEN2 DIFFERENT
Multi-Voice Engines, One App
Piper provides reliable neural voices across 13 languages. Supertonic offers a fresh take on a voice engine — flow-matching models running on Apple's Neural Engine via CoreML for natural rhythm and expressive speech. Choose from 100+ voices in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Greek, Hindi, Vietnamese, Swedish and Hungarian. More coming.
Voice Tuning
Adjust the model parameters of any voice to suit your preferences. Save presets to switch between profiles. Preview pronunciation rules before saving them.
Import Anything
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, DAISY, markdown, plain text, clipboard, or web articles. Share from Safari and Listen2 extracts the article text. Paywalled content works (even sites on which other major TTS apps fail) when shared from a browser where you are logged in.
Machine Learning Word Sync
CTC forced alignment matches audio to text at the word level. Watch each word highlight as it is spoken — across Latin and non-Latin scripts alike. Highlighting engine newly re-build to be lean and efficient that's dramatically easier on your battery life.
Smart Document Reading
Multi-column layout handling, footnote filtering (for PDF files), hyphenated word rejoining. AI Vision for scanned PDFs. Full EPUB, DOCX, and DAISY support.
Figure Descriptions
On-device AI vision generates spoken descriptions of figures, charts, and photos as you listen. For non-English documents, descriptions translate automatically via Apple's on-device Translation framework. (Works with EPUB and PDF as a first roll-out)
Pronunciation Rules
Fix how any word is spoken without changing display text. Rules for names, terms, or abbreviations. Live preview before saving.
Built-in presets for footnote markers. Global or per-document. Doesn't break highlighting.
True Offline Privacy
Processing, normalization, and synthesis all happen on-device. Documents never leave your phone. No uploads, account, or tracking.

Nouveautés (v1.10.1)
Supertonic v3 and Kokoro voices models can now be used on devices with as little as 6GB of RAM like the iPhone 15.
Customer voice builder files (voice clones) that you created with Supertone's voice builder tool can now be re-export to work with supertonic v3 and used in Listen2.
Also in v1.10:
SUPERTONIC V3
The new Supertonic engine fixes the word and phrase skipping that the previous version shipped with. Pacing is rock-solid and latency is lower (12 denoising steps as default now, down from 32). Users with the previous Supertonic engine will see a one-time prompt at launch to download the new model (about 178 MB).
13 SUPERTONIC LANGUAGES
Up from 5. Adds Italian, German, Swedish, Greek, Vietnamese, Russian, Turkish, Hindi, and Hungarian. Existing English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese voices carry over.
RESUME MID-PARAGRAPH
Pausing four minutes into a long PDF page used to restart the whole paragraph on reopen. Listen2 now remembers the sentence you paused on and resumes from there.
EXPORT TEXT
Long-press a document in the library and tap Export Text to share the extracted text as a .txt file. Useful for sending a chapter to another app, AirDropping a document, or keeping a plain-text backup. Also available as a VoiceOver custom action.
BLUETOOTH PAUSE FIX
Connecting AirPods mid-playback no longer pauses the audio. Pause now triggers only when the device you were actually listening on disconnects.
SHARE EXTENSION
Sharing .txt and .md files from Files.app now works directly. Previously these failed with a download error. Unsupported file types now show a clear message directing you to Open in Listen2.
SYNC RELIABILITY
Books no longer briefly appear as needing re-import after pausing and quickly leaving the library. A race between iCloud sidecar updates and the local document store has been resolved.
VOICE LIBRARY CLEANUP
The voice library now hides voices whose engine your device cannot run, so you no longer see voices that will not play.
