GBOMI · gbọ́ mi — “hear me”
Natural voices that read to you. Fully offline.
GBOMI reads your books, articles and PDFs aloud in warm, natural neural voices — entirely on your Android phone. No cloud. No account. No tracking. And no subscription: pay once, own it for good.
Android · works with the radios off · your text never leaves the device
Hear it
This is what your documents will sound like.
A reader lives or dies on its voice. Tap a voice and press play — these are real GBOMI voices generated on-device.
“This is the voice that will read your documents aloud — clear, steady, and easy to listen to for a long time.”
A look inside
Built to get out of the way.
Paste a link, drop in a text PDF, or open a document. GBOMI strips the clutter and starts reading.

How it works
Three taps to listening.
-

3
Press play and listen
GBOMI reads aloud, remembers your place, and keeps going with the screen locked.
Why GBOMI
Everything a reader should be. Nothing it shouldn’t.
Reads offline
On a plane, on the Underground, in a dead-signal valley. Once GBOMI is installed, reading and voice synthesis run entirely on your phone — no connection needed.
Private by design
Your documents and what you read stay on your device. There’s no account and no tracking, and your text isn’t uploaded anywhere to be read.
Natural neural voices
Powered by the Kokoro voice engine, running on-device. Warm and steady enough to listen to for a full hour.
Reads your text PDFs & documents
Books, articles, work PDFs and web pages — read aloud with the navigation and footnote clutter stripped away first. Scanned-document (OCR) support coming soon.
Background playback
Lock your screen and keep listening. GBOMI reads ahead of itself so playback never stutters, and remembers where you stopped.
Pay once, or not at all
No meter running, no subscription turning your own reading into a recurring bill. Own the thing outright.
Reading and speech work fully offline once installed. A connection is only needed to download the app, make the one-time purchase, and import a web page.
Pricing
Free every day. Unlimited for one payment.
Every feature is free within a daily listening window. Paying once removes the daily cap — that’s the only thing it changes. No feature is locked behind the price.
