SPAR Smart PDF Audio Reader for Android
Listen to PDFs instead of staying tied to a screen. SPAR is a PDF reader and text-to-speech app for Android that turns documents into natural audio, so students, professionals and everyday readers can learn, review and multitask hands-free.
Make long documents easier to take in.
Reading a long 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, start playback and keep listening while commuting, exercising, working or relaxing. The interface stays focused on the document library, playback controls and listening progress.
Built around uninterrupted PDF listening.
The core experience covers importing, organising, navigating and listening without extra complexity.
PDF to audio
Open text-based PDF files and hear books, notes, reports and manuals read aloud.
Natural text-to-speech
Use the voices available through the Android device's built-in text-to-speech engine.
Smart chapters
Move through long documents using detected chapters and organised navigation.

Keep listening while using other apps or with the screen turned off.
Android Auto
Convenient playback controls for safer listening while driving.
Saved progress
Return to the previous listening position without searching through the document again.
