Lexie uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) to read any text aloud - whether for reading practice or simply for following along more easily. On top of that, you can combine it with tools that enhance focus, rhythm and motivation.

TTS in Lexie is fully customizable. You can adjust:

• Reading speed
• Voice selection
• Karaoke-style highlighting of spoken words
• Animated line showing the spoken text
• Sound on/off
• Automatic text scrolling (on/off) to keep the text centered on your screen

With Lexie, you can listen to your content in various formats - eBooks (e.g. EPUB), PDFs, Word documents, photos of textbook pages, or websites.

If you're adding a book or using Lexie’s library, it’s simple:

• Select the book
• Turn on TTS
• Adjust settings
• Choose the word where you want to start
• Sit back and enjoy reading with your ears. 🎧

If you want to add or edit content (like photos of textbook pages), Lexie includes a built-in text editor and Lexie AI option to prepare it for you. After editing, simply convert your document into a "book" to enable TTS or use Read mode in documents. Voilà – you're ready to listen.

Did the sound on/off option catch your eye? That’s because Lexie isn’t just for passive listening - it’s also designed to help you actively practice reading.

Try these approaches:

• Karaoke-style word highlighting helps you follow every word Lexie reads and hear how it’s pronounced
• Animated line guides your attention across each sentence
• Practice silently by turning off sound, following the animation and words visually
• Boost speed gradually – set a slightly faster reading pace than your current level to build fluency
• You can also combine TTS with other tools, like syllable marking, to improve rhythm and decoding.

TTS is included in Lexie’s monthly and yearly subscription plans – and there are no limits to the number of words or books you can listen to.

To access everything described above, subscribe to the Personal plan. But no need to decide immediately – your first 14 days are completely free, with full access to all tools.
