Questions, answered
Is Frateca a good read-aloud app for low vision?
Yes. Frateca reads documents, articles and books aloud with clear, natural voices and adjustable speed, and supports screen-free, background listening. It works alongside system accessibility features like VoiceOver and TalkBack.
Can it read printed pages and PDFs?
Yes. It reads digital PDFs and documents, and uses OCR to recognise text in scanned files and photos of printed pages, so you can listen to material that isn’t available digitally.
What languages and accents are available?
Frateca generates natural audio in English (US and UK), Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, with multiple voices and accents to choose from.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Generating new audio needs a connection, but once a file is converted you can listen to it offline from your library.
