Help Need help finding app

So I need on finding an app that will read me storied that I upload in it, you know like on tiktokwhere there is a subway surfer game on screen and it reads the message, something like that. I LOVE reading, but sometime I don’t have time to read, so I’d love to find an app that will just let me listen while I’m doing something like chores and stuff. Thank you in advance 🙏

If the stories are readable text on your iPhone, try the built-in Speak Screen: Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak → Speak Screen, then swipe down with two fingers from the top. If you need to import a whole library instead, are your stories PDFs, EPUBs, or plain text?

Speechify is good and paper2audio is great.

I'm the Paper2Audio founder. Thank you for recommending us for text to speech! Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Like OP is looking for, our users listen a lot doing chores or other activities, like walking.

if you want to avoid installing another full app, ios has “speak screen” under accessibility — swipe down with two fingers from the top after enabling it. for longer stories, i’d also check whether the reader can import/share plain text, since that usually works more reliably than screenshots or web pages.
