Questions and answers

Which voice is used?

Your device’s built-in voice, so it sounds different on phones and computers. Very long documents read the first part aloud; the download has the full text.

Is PDFfinch free?

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no account, no email and no watermark added to your files.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. PDFfinch works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to install.
