PBR Read

PBR Read brings PDF reading, read-aloud narration, and personal annotations into one workspace on iPhone and iPad.

READ AND LISTEN
Import text-based PDFs from Files. Follow the current words as the app reads, adjust the speed, choose a narrator, and continue from your saved place. Natural voices can be downloaded for offline use; Apple voices are also available.

WRITE ON YOUR PAGES
Open Annotate Page inside the reader to use pencil, highlighter, eraser, lasso, text, and shapes. Your notes save automatically and stay attached to their book and page.

KEEP YOUR LIBRARY
Organize your own PDFs, sync books and notes through your iCloud account, and export or restore library backups.

Designed with a compact reading layout, adjustable page navigation, and support for portrait and landscape. No subscription or separate speech-service account is required.

PBR Read reads the text layer in PDF documents. Scanned pages without text require OCR in another app. Natural-voice setup requires an internet download; after setup, narration runs on your device.
