Make long documents easier to consume.
Reading a lengthy PDF is not always practical. SPAR creates an audiobook-style experience for textbooks, research papers, reports, manuals, ebooks and other text-based PDF documents.
Open a file, begin playback and continue listening while commuting, exercising, working or relaxing. The interface stays focused on the document library, playback controls and listening progress.
