Everything Psitta does

A desktop app that reads your documents aloud — so you can hear what you actually wrote.

Reading Nook

Listen to your documents with pixel-accurate highlighting and premium neural voices. Free and Pro tiers available.

PDF and DOCX support

Upload any PDF or Word document and Psitta extracts the text, preserving structure and reading order. Page-based chunking ensures accurate playback even for long documents.

Sentence-level highlighting

Every sentence lights up in real time as it's read aloud — pixel-accurate highlighting powered by PDFium character-level bounding boxes. Follow along visually or click any sentence to jump there.

Word-level highlighting

Pro subscribers get word-by-word highlighting synchronized to the audio. See exactly which word is being spoken at any moment — ideal for catching individual word-choice issues.

Premium neural voices

Choose from natural-sounding voices powered by ElevenLabs and Microsoft Azure Neural TTS. Free tier includes Edge TTS voices at no cost — upgrade to Pro for the full voice catalog.

Listening improves writing

Reading silently, your brain auto-corrects. Listening breaks the spell. Hear awkward phrasing, broken rhythm, and unclear passages that your eye skips over — the fix usually follows within seconds.

Built for Windows

Psitta is a native Windows desktop application — not a browser extension or web app. It runs locally on your machine with a clean, distraction-free interface designed for focused document review.

Creative Nook

Coming soon

Expand beyond reading into structured content creation. Available as an add-on to Reading Nook Pro.

Creative workspaces

Organize your writing projects into dedicated workspaces — each with its own documents, voice settings, and revision history.

Listen while you write

Hear your draft as you write. Catch awkward phrasing, broken rhythm, and unclear passages by ear before anyone else does — at any stage of writing.

All Reading Nook Pro features included

Everything in Reading Nook Pro — premium voices, word-by-word highlighting, branded DOCX export, archives, priority support — plus the creative workflow tools below. One subscription, both modes.

Drop in inspiration. Prompt your way to ideas.

Pull in source material and prompt Psitta to expand sections, generate outlines, or draft new pieces in your voice. Coming soon.

Clone Voice reading

Record a short voice sample and Psitta reads your documents back in your own voice. Built for podcasters, audiobook drafts, and authors who want to hear their own delivery. Coming soon.
