Read Aloud: Hark

Email sbadevs2@gmail.com and we'll get back to you, usually within two days.

The voice sounds robotic

Your iPhone has free, much better voices you can download. Open the Settings app → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → English, pick a voice marked Premium or Enhanced and download it. Then choose it in Hark → Voice.

It reads a page in the wrong order

Hark puts columns in reading order and skips page numbers and running headers, but busy pages can still trip it up. Tap the sentence you want and Hark starts from there. Scanning one column at a time also helps.

Listening with the screen off

Hark keeps reading when you lock your iPhone or switch apps. Use the lock screen or your headphones to pause, and to skip a sentence back or forward.

Free vs Pro

The first page you listen to is free. Hark Pro unlocks every page, PDF and paste, all voices and speeds: $29.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, or $59.99 once.

Restore a purchase

Open Settings → Restore purchases, signed in with the same Apple ID you bought with.

Cancel Hark Pro Yearly

Open Settings → Manage subscription, or the Settings app → your name → Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the renewal date. If you're on the free trial, Hark reminds you 2 days before it ends.
