Field notes
PageSpeaker uses photographed pages or imported PDF and ePub files as its input, then extracts text, detects the language, and stores the result in a personal library. The interface description includes chapter browsing, full-text search, notes attached to an exact word, and listening-time goals. The homepage states that the first 10 pages are free and compares the service with catalogue-bound audiobooks and device read-aloud features.
