Listen to any text from your physical book

To scan a physical book, you can simply take photos of one or more pages and upload them into a single listening document. This is a perfect option to listen to a book or a long printed document.

  1. Supported by proper lighting, open the app and tap the icon in the bottom center of the screen,

  2. On the Import tab, tap on the camera icon,

  3. Point your phone's camera at the page of text you wish to scan. Please ensure that all the text on the page is in the frame.

  4. To scan the pages, tap the white button at the bottom center, and then tap the check icon once done. You can scan several, but we suggest that you scan them in batches.

  5. We also have settings to edit the scanned image by clicking on the 3 dots icon on the screen.

  6. Finally, tap Save & Listen to save the pages as one scanned document in your Speechify library
