Read Aloud - Listen to Any Screen
Swipe and hear an AI summary of any screen content. Perfect for commuting, multitasking, or when reading isn't convenient. Powered by Google Gemini.
Arc Read Aloud is a freemium Android app that reads and summarizes any screen content aloud via text-to-speech. Swipe from the edge of your screen, tap AI Read, and hear a concise summary of articles, emails, messages, or any on-screen content — hands-free. Great for commuting, cooking, or when reading isn't convenient. Works as a floating sidebar over any app, powered by Google Gemini.
Hear your screen content anytime
Perfect for when you can't - or don't want to - read your screen.
Commuting
Hear summaries of news articles, emails, or messages while driving. No need to look at your screen.
Multitasking
Cooking, exercising, or doing chores? Let Arc read aloud while your hands are busy.

Give your eyes a break. Instead of reading another long article, tap AI Read and listen to the key points.
Studying
Listen to summaries of textbook chapters and lecture notes for auditory reinforcement and better retention.
News Roundup
Open a news app, swipe to summarize, and hear the highlights without reading every article.
Email Catch-Up
Power through your inbox by listening to email summaries instead of reading each one.
Smarter than text-to-speech
Arc doesn't just read your screen - it summarizes first, then reads. Get the key points in seconds.
Text-to-Speech Summaries
Arc summarizes the screen content first, then reads it aloud. You hear the key points, not every word - faster and more useful than basic TTS.
Works in Any App
Arc is a floating sidebar that works over any app. Summarize and listen to content in Chrome, Gmail, Twitter, or any other app.
One-Tap Listen
Swipe to open Arc, tap AI Read, and start listening. No configuring, no copying, no switching apps.
Save & Replay
Save summaries to your library and replay them anytime. Build a listening queue for commute time or study sessions.
AI + TTS
Unlike simple text-to-speech that reads everything, Arc's AI Read summarizes first, then speaks. Get the key points in 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes of listening.
Categorized Results
AI Read organizes summaries into categories - key facts, action items, main takeaways - so you hear what matters most.
