A story to hear. Words to follow.
A read along app with a friendly reading buddy
Give the words a voice and the story a little company. UXREAD lets children listen and follow the text, with UXI beside the active passage when they choose Reading Buddy.

Listening and reading, side by side
UXREAD is a read along app that pairs spoken narration with visible book text. Children can follow the story in Pure Reading or see the active passage with UXI in Reading Buddy. A built-in narrator can read aloud, and a saved parent voice is another option after setup.
Choose the reading view that fits the moment
Pure Reading keeps the book on screen and highlights the active passage as narration progresses. It is a way to keep the text at the centre of the experience.
Reading Buddy shows the active passage with UXI. The character adds a friendly visual presence while the selected narrator reads the book.
The passage is highlighted as a group of words. This is not a promise that each individual word lights up at the exact moment it is spoken.
What UXI does during a story
UXI is the visual reading buddy alongside the text. The narrator supplies the read-aloud voice; UXI brings company to the reading view. Your child can enjoy seeing a friendly character without leaving the story to play a separate game.
UXI does not grade your child’s reading on this page’s described listening path. A parent can pause to talk about the story whenever they want.
Try a small stretch of reading together
- Pick a book. Start with the recommended catalogue and download a title into your library.
- Choose the view and voice. Select Pure Reading or Reading Buddy, and use a built-in narrator or a ready saved parent voice.
- Listen and follow. Start read-aloud and use the visible passage to keep your place in the story.
- Leave room for questions. Pause when a character surprises you, or when your child wants to hear a passage again.
A few things parents ask
Is this a phonics or reading-lesson app?
This experience focuses on listening to stories and following visible text. It is not presented as a phonics course, a reading assessment or a guarantee of improved reading skills.
Does UXI listen to my child and correct mistakes?
UXI is a visual reading buddy in this experience. Do not expect spoken-reading assessment or pronunciation scoring from the listening and follow-along flow described here.
Does it highlight every spoken word?
The reader follows the active passage or fragment. It does not promise exact word-by-word audio alignment.
Can we use my voice for read-along stories?
Yes, after preparing a ready saved parent voice. Preview the generated narration first, or use one of the built-in narrators.
Where do the read-along stories come from?
You can start with the free recommended book catalogue and download a book into your library. App access and narration features have separate terms.
