Students with dyslexia and reading difficulties
They hear the text while each word is highlighted, so they can keep up with the class reading instead of decoding every word.
Any page, read aloud to every student. No ads, no accounts, nothing uploaded.
Read Aloud For Me PRO lets a student point an iPad at a worksheet, book page or handout, or open a PDF, and hear it read aloud with every word highlighted. Text recognition and speech run on the device, so it works without Wi-Fi and student work never leaves the iPad. One-time purchase, and half price for schools buying 20 or more licences through Apple School Manager.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Read Aloud For Me PRO cost for schools?
PRO is a one-time purchase of $9.99 USD per licence, with no subscription. When a school buys 20 or more licences through Apple School Manager, Apple applies its education volume discount, which is 50% off.
How do we get the education discount?
Sign in to Apple School Manager, open Apps and Books, search for "Read Aloud For Me PRO", enter a quantity of 20 or more and buy. The discounted price is shown automatically. You then assign the licences to devices or Managed Apple Accounts, or push the app with your MDM.
Does the app upload what students scan?
No. In the Read Aloud tab, text recognition and speech run on the device. Photos, PDFs and scanned pages are not uploaded to any server, and saved texts stay in the app on that device.
Do students need an account or an email address?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no student profile.
Are there ads in PRO?
No. PRO has no ads. The free version of Read Aloud For Me shows ads, which is why we recommend PRO for classrooms.
Does it work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Reading aloud works offline, including in Airplane Mode. Translation works offline once a language has been downloaded on the device.
What else is in the app?
PRO has a second tab, AI Tools, which is our web catalog of AI tools for adults. It loads from the internet and uses Google Analytics for anonymous page statistics. The app can also show an optional weekly notification about a tool, which students can decline or you can turn off with your MDM. The reading features do not depend on that tab.
Which devices are supported?
iPad and iPhone with iOS 16 or later, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Offline translation needs iOS 17.4 or later; short summaries need a device with Apple Intelligence.
Can we try it before buying licences?
Yes. Email us and we will send a few PRO codes so a teacher or learning-support team can try it with students first.
Try it with your students
Email us your school and grades, and we will send a few PRO codes for a teacher or learning-support pilot.
