News Radio

Your unread stories, as a radio show

Press play on a station and Paperwire reads it like a newsreader: an opening, each story introduced by name, and a closing. Stories you finish are marked read.

On air

Tap the Daily Mix. Every word of the bulletin shows up here as it's read: the opening, each story by name, and a new section when the language changes.

Silent on this page. On your iPhone it's read aloud, on the device.

A Daily Mix, Headlines in minutes, and a station for every topic, language and source.

The reader

Set like a book, read along word by word

Every article becomes a clean page in your type, size and spacing, scrolling or in pages. Publisher scripts never run, and summary-only feeds get the full article from the publisher's page, like Reader view.

Four reading themes, each with its own colour for the spoken word.

Languages

Each language in its own voice

Paperwire speaks only the languages you turn on. Stations play one language at a time and introduce each new section in its own language, so the voice changes only where it should.

  1. ENFirst, from The Margin: Why the best pages feel quiet.
  2. DEJetzt auf Deutsch. Zuerst, von Nachtschicht: Die Stadt, die nachts arbeitet.
  3. ESAhora, en español. Primero, de La Brújula: El mercado que nunca duerme.
  4. SKTeraz po slovensky. Najprv Horizont: Ako sa rodí ranná správa.

It all stays on your iPhone

No tracking and no cloud in the middle. Paperwire never sends your articles anywhere.

  • Voices on the device

    Narration runs on your iPhone, with Ivy or Apple's voices.

  • Your keys stay yours

    A FreshRSS password is kept in the iOS Keychain, nowhere else.

  • Source you can read

    Every line is on GitHub under the Functional Source License.
