Detailed features
Speech bubbles that explain each row
Tap the bubble. Hear what that row does. Handy if you don't use a screen reader — or just want something spelled out aloud. Screen readers are fully supported either way.
Full screen reader support
TalkBack and VoiceOver, start to finish. Every screen works with your screen reader — not bolted on after the fact.
Voice search
Say what you want. Skip the typing. Find audiobooks, poems, and more by speaking. Get to your next listen faster.
Text that grows with you
Bigger type — as big as your screen allows. Second Sight respects your phone's text size setting and scales up to the largest size that still fits the five-row layout.
High-contrast layouts
Easier to see. Easier on your eyes. Carefully chosen colours and contrast cut glare and strain — especially when your vision is tired.
Themes that fit how you see
Light, dark, colourful, or monochrome. Pick the look that works for you. Same great player — just the way you want it to look.
Large touch targets
Big buttons. Fewer mis-taps. Generous tap areas make every control easier to hit — on the bus, in bed, or when your hands aren't steady.
Involuntary movement
Unintended gestures are discarded. The app detects involuntary movements — such as a tremor or a brief, accidental touch — and ignores them so they do not trigger the wrong action.
Simple skip and playback controls
Jump forward or back. Stay in the story. Clear skip buttons and a straightforward slider put you in control — without a maze of menus.
Your library, ready when you are
Pick up where you left off. Save books to My Library and jump straight back in with Continue Listening.
Simple navigation, less mental load
Fewer steps. Less thinking. Straight paths to your books, chapters, and controls. Second Sight is designed to feel calm — not like homework.
25,000+ titles in one place
A huge catalogue inside an app that actually gets accessibility. Browse and listen to over 25,000 titles — audiobooks, short stories, poems, plays, and other spoken classics — without switching to a player that treats accessibility as an afterthought. It is also a great way for young children to listen to classics, short stories, poems, and more.
These titles are in the public domain — modern audiobooks are coming soon!
Built with the community
Designed with visually impaired users — not just for them. Real feedback shaped what stayed, what went, and what actually helps day to day.
