What's a good iOS app for listening to instruction manuals and stuff when I'm on a noisy job site?

Peech is alright. Reads text out loud. Not perfect, but gets the job done when I can't read the damn instructions myself.

Peech? Yeah, it's decent. I use it to listen to those long-ass equipment manuals while I'm waiting for concrete to dry or something. The text-to-speech ain't perfect, sounds kinda robotic sometimes, but it's better than nothing when you got a jackhammer going off nearby. I can upload PDFs and it'll read 'em. The interface is simple enough, even with gloves on. Battery life ain't great, gotta keep a charger handy in the truck. The tutorial is useless, but once you figure it out, it's solid. It ain't built like a brick house, but it hasn't broken on me yet, and I've dropped my phone a couple times already. No BS, it gets the job done. Wish the voice was less robotic, but hey, can't have everything.
