Lumotext reads web pages, PDFs and EPUBs aloud while every sentence and word lights up to keep your eyes where the voice is. PDFs keep their real pages. Free voices run on your device, so what you read stays private, and they can translate and read in other languages. Dyslexia-friendly fonts, spacing and tints built in. One library across a Chrome extension, a web app and iPhone and iPad. Free to use, no card required. Optional Pro adds natural AI voices.

Hi Product Hunt, I’m Will, and I built Lumotext.
I listen to long articles and PDFs more than I read them, and I kept losing my place every time I looked back at the screen. So I built a reader where the voice and the text stay together: every word lights up as it’s spoken.
Lumotext reads any web page, PDF or EPUB aloud and highlights each word as it goes, so your eyes and ears stay on the same line. It’s built as an accessibility tool for people with dyslexia, ADHD or low vision, people reading in a second language, and anyone whose eyes are tired of screens.
Free today, no card needed:
Chrome extension: press play on any article
iPhone and iPad app, including both screens on iPhone Duo
Web app at lumotext.com for PDFs and EPUBs
Dyslexia-friendly fonts, spacing and tints, plus Lamplight for night reading
Listen in: hear a page in another language with a live caption
Your library and your place sync across all of them. Free voices run on your device, so what you read stays private. Pro adds natural AI voices.

One question for you: what do you read that you wish someone would read to you?
