The Recitator iOS app reads content for you, so you don't have to

Do you have a pile of text to read? Recitator is an iOS app that takes your ebooks, pdfs and text files and reads them to you.

Recitator also saves the last text position. The next time you open a document you can continue listening at the same position. The app speaks EPUB, PDF and TXT files. You can use iTunes File Sharing or Dropbox to transfer the files.

Developer Thomas Busse released Recitator  for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Perfect for hearing texts while commuting or during a walk, Recitator (Latin for reciter, reader) takes your ebooks, pdfs and text files and reads them to you. 

You can use Recitator for proof reading of your documents. Let it read e.g. your report to you to find orthographic errors or missing words. Simply save your document as text or PDF file and transfer it to Recitator. The app speaks EPUB, PDF and TXT files. You can use iTunes File Sharing or Dropbox to transfer the files. If no audiobook exists for your text or you already own an electronic version of a book and don't want to spent extra money for the audio book, then Recitator is the ideal alternative.
