Help with WarbleReader
Tell us which device you’re on and what you were trying to do. A screenshot helps.
Getting started
What do I need?
An iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or later, an iPhone Duo, or a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15 or later.
Is it free?
Yes, for now. If that changes, the App Store will show the price before you pay anything.
Do I need an account?
No. There’s nothing to sign up for.
Adding things
A PDF opens but there’s no text.
It’s probably scanned: pictures of pages rather than text. WarbleReader can’t read those yet.
A web page came in with the wrong text, or none.
Some sites keep articles behind a sign-in or build the page in a way the import can’t read. Open the page in Safari, copy the text, and use Paste text instead.
How do I add something from Safari?
On iPhone or iPad, tap Share and choose WarbleReader. On the Mac, copy the link and use Add › Web link.
Listening
Why do some voices sound different?
Natural voices are made on your device as it reads. Apple voices are the ones built into your device. Both are in the Voices list.
Where are the Australian voices?
Under Apple voices. For the better-sounding Enhanced and Premium versions, open Settings › Accessibility › Read & Speak › Voices › English and download one.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. In a document, choose More › Download for offline and the audio is made ahead of time. Settings shows how much space downloads use and lets you clear them.
Does my library sync between devices?
Not yet. Each device keeps its own library for now.
