About Lectern

Lectern turns a PDF, DOCX, EPUB, or web article into something you can listen to. A natural-sounding voice model runs on your phone, so narration works on a plane, on the underground, and with the network switched off. You can also ask questions about what you are reading, get a summary, or be quizzed on it — all answered by a language model running on the device itself, never a cloud API. Lectern has no server and no account. An optional backup encrypts your library on your phone before it ever reaches your own Google Drive.
