AI audio creation company ElevenLabs, founded by former Palantir engineers, has announced the launch of its first iOS app: "ElevenLabs Reader."
The app is designed to turn text files or web links into audio narrations that users can listen to on the go. Unlike the various AI models and features included on the ElevenLabs website, this iOS app is more focused, focusing on converting text into audio narration.

Users can download the app for free through the Apple App Store and need to be running iOS 15 or newer. First time use requires logging in to an existing ElevenLabs account or creating a new account via email and password, Google or Apple account.
After logging in, users will see a series of preloaded text files and corresponding audio narrations, mostly published fairy tales and folktales such as "Cinderella," "The Three Bears," and "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" ” and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Victorian detective novel “Sherlock Holmes.”
In addition, users can add their own content via the plus button in the upper right corner of the app's main menu, including composing their own text, importing URLs copied and pasted from mobile web browsers, or selecting files from the iOS Files app.
The app also integrates with the iOS default share form, allowing users to add widgets in the browser and share links to the ElevenLabs iOS Reader app while browsing, eliminating the need for copying and pasting.
Clicking on the default speed indicator in the lower right corner of the application allows the user to increase the speed from 0.8x to 2x. Users can also choose from 11 different voices and accents by clicking on the icons on the left.
