Breaking the Language Barrier

Application scenarios of Voice Reader Home

Voice Reader offers many advantages - no matter whether you want to have the texts read directly from your computer or whether you want to convert them to audio files and listen to them later on your MP3 player:


  • Hundred percent mobile
    From now on you can do some of your desk work on the go. Get acquainted with new subjects while you're on the road in your car or on a train. At the click of a mouse, you can convert any text document to an audio file and transfer it to your MP3 player, where you can listen to it in your own time – whenever and wherever you like.

  • Understand texts better
    A study by the University of Regensburg has shown that our ability to take things in by listening is 29% higher than that by reading; if you read and listen at the same time, efficiency increases by 44%. This allows you to gain a better and more rapid understanding of complex content and improves your memory of the texts.
    Our recommendation: If you really want to maximize your understanding of a text, have it read out to you by Voice Reader while you are reading it. Maximum convenience is ensured with the adjustable reading tempo and synchronized text highlighting.

  • Make better use of your time
    Optimize your time and make the most of unproductive waiting times: Use the time spent in morning traffic or the time you spend waiting in the departure terminal to check your email. In the car, on the plane, on the train, while jogging or relaxing – now you can read without having to stare at a screen or a piece of paper.

  • Discover errors more quickly
    Planning a speech? Slip into the role of your listeners. Listen to your manuscripts for speeches, lectures or presentations to check their impact! Clumsy formulations, incorrect sentence order, forgotten words? These errors are easy to miss on paper, but stand out when heard.

  • Listen and relax
    The Internet is full of literary works and current articles: Put together your own audio books and have great literary works read to you. Why not just listen to what you’re interested in – on vacation, while jogging or at home, comfy on the couch.

  • More comfort in the workplace
    Give your eyes a break or move around your office while you listen to e-mails or memos.

  • Learn the easy way
    Dub your learning material so that you can listen to them over and over again. Have everything read to you by a pleasant voice - on the PC, in the car or while you're on the go with your MP3 player and join the (cost-efficient) trend: A study by the University of Regensburg has shown that absorption capacity is 29% higher when listening than when reading; if you listen and read at the same time, efficiency increases by 44%.

  • Study languages the easy way
    Listening is still the best way to learn a foreign language and every Voice Reader has excellent pronunciation with exemplary sentence melody. With additional language packages, e.g. for German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch or Czech, you can also use Voice Reader for texts in foreign languages and thus make a lasting improvement in your listening and pronunciation abilities. In 11 languages!
