Aloudeo Listening DeskUpdated November 3, 20262 min read
Short answer

Open the text in Aloudeo and press play. A natural voice reads it while the sentence you hear lights up, so your eyes always know where you are. Slow the voice to 0.75x, tap any sentence to hear it again, and scan paper pages with your camera.

When decoding each word takes effort, a long email or a report becomes a wall. Hearing the words while you see them lit takes part of that load off your eyes.

Hear it and see it at once

  • The sentence you hear lights up violet and the page follows the voice.
  • Tap any sentence to hear it again.
  • Set the speed from 0.75x for hard texts to 2x for easy ones on the free plan, up to 3x with Pro.

Bring any text

  • Web pages and emails: share them from Safari or Mail.
  • Schoolbooks and novels: open EPUB, MOBI or PDF files.
  • Paper: scan worksheets, letters and handouts with your camera.

Hear numbers and names right

Titles, numerals and dates come out the way a person reads them: Chapter IV as chapter four, 11/15/2026 as November 15, 2026, Mr. as Mister. The page keeps every mark.

Where it stops

Hear text with it, nothing more: no tests, no diagnosis, no treatment.
