Xarra!
Turn text into audio
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn any text into audio you can follow along with. Listen to articles, documents, or your own writing, highlighted in sync as you read.
Xarra turns any text into clear, natural audio so you can listen instead of stare at a screen.
Listen to what you need, when you need it:
• Turn articles, PDFs, study notes, or long emails into audio in seconds.
• Use the Share Extension to send content from Safari, news apps, or document apps, like Notes, straight to Xarra.
• Paste text from your clipboard, import files, or add content from URLs directly in the app.
Stay focused and retain more:
• Follow along with an on-screen transcript, with each line highlighted as it is read.
• Use text and audio together to improve comprehension, focus, and memory.
• Pause, rewind, or replay tricky sections as often as you want.
Make listening fit your pace:
• Adjust playback speed to read faster or slower, depending on your needs.
• Choose from available voices to find one that is comfortable for long listening sessions.
Private, simple, and reliable:
• Works fully offline once your content is loaded, so you can listen on planes, trains, or anywhere without a connection.
• No accounts, no sign-ups, and no data collection. Your content stays on your device.
• Clean, distraction-free design focused purely on reading and listening.
Xarra is ideal for:
• Commuting: Turn your queue of saved articles into a personal audio feed.
• Studying: Listen to lecture notes, research papers, and textbooks while following the text.
• Resting your eyes: Give your eyes a break without falling behind on reading.
• Multitasking: Combine listening with light tasks like walking, cooking, or tidying.
Whether you want to get through more reading, learn more efficiently, or reduce screen time, Xarra makes your reading list something you can listen to anywhere.
