Find the reading you're looking for. • Xarra is ready for iPhone Duo. Your library and playback controls adapt as the available space changes. • On iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27, Xarra 2.1 lets you ask Siri to search your library. Matching documents appear in Xarra's familiar search, ready to read or hear. We've also clarified where to download higher-quality system voices on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Thank you for your support, and happy reading! In previous updates: Xarra added library search, Spotlight discovery, four Shortcuts, and automatic voice selection that prefers the best installed voice for a document’s language. Earlier releases brought native Apple Vision Pro support with Focus Mode, Markdown import, and DAISY 3 support.
