What Verbl is
Verbl converts documents, PDFs, and text into speech on Android and iOS. Users can import PDF, Word, and plain-text files, paste text, photograph printed pages with a camera, or supply a web URL. The reader highlights spoken words, supports variable playback speed, and can resume documents from a cloud-synced library. Expressive Inworld AI cloud voices are available in 11 languages, with previews and voice favorites. Bundled VITS-Piper neural models provide on-device speech without an internet connection in fast, balanced, and high-quality modes. Verbl tracks daily listening time, word count, streaks, and progress toward a daily goal. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes PDF, DOCX, and TXT imports, offline on-device text-to-speech, camera capture with OCR, and daily progress tracking.
