Help & support

Need help?

Email oplaes@theill.com with questions, problems or ideas.

Please include your iPhone model, iOS version and a short description of what happened.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and add a text.

Which files can it read?

PDF, ePub, web pages shared from Safari, copied text and photos of pages.

Which languages are there?

Oplæs reads English and Danish and detects the language of the text. The app itself also comes in Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and Portuguese, but there are no voices for those languages; a text in one of them gets a note instead of being read aloud.

Why does it download voices?

The voices are large (about 1.2 GB), so they don’t come with the app itself. They download once, preferably over Wi-Fi, and then work offline.

Which iPhones does it work on?

iPhones with iOS 17 or later. The voices need a lot of memory, so they need a recent iPhone; if yours doesn’t have enough, Oplæs tells you before you download them.

Can I use it at school?

Yes. Oplæs needs no account and collects no data, so it’s easy to use at school.

What does it cost?

$1.99, once. Every feature and every update is included, with no ads and no subscription. If you downloaded Oplæs while it was free, it stays yours.

Do I get the extra app icons?

Yes, everyone does. Pick one at the bottom of Settings in Oplæs. There’s nothing to restore on a new phone, and if you bought the Supporter earlier, thank you: nothing changes for you.
