DOCX reader

Read Word documents without Word.

Manuscripts, course notes, long reports: some documents deserve better than an editor window. DeltaScroll opens a DOCX file as a book, with its headings as chapters and its images in place.

A long document open as a book in DeltaScroll on Windows

How it works

Three steps, then just read.

  1. Import the DOCX

    Choose a Word document on your phone, PC or in the web reader.

  2. Headings become chapters

    DeltaScroll splits the document at its headings and builds a contents list.

  3. Read and annotate

    Highlight, add notes, search and listen, all without editing the original.

What you get

DOCX reader, done properly.

No Word needed

Read DOCX files on Android, Windows or the web without Microsoft Word.

Chapters from headings

The document's own heading structure becomes the table of contents.

Images in place

Pictures in the document are kept in the book.

Your original is untouched

DeltaScroll makes a reading copy and leaves the DOCX file as it was.

Notes for proofreading

Highlight passages in six colours and leave notes as you read.

Listen to your draft

Hearing a manuscript read aloud is one of the best ways to catch mistakes.

DOCX reader

Made for writers and students

Reading a draft as a book shows it the way a reader will see it. Students can carry course documents in the same library as their novels, with the same notes and highlights.

  • PrivateDocuments are converted on your device and stay there.
  • OfflineRead them on the train, with no connection.
  • OrganisedPut documents on their own shelf, apart from your books.

Questions

DOCX reader questions.

How can I read a DOCX file on my phone?

Install DeltaScroll for Android, then import the DOCX file or open it from your file manager. It opens as a book you can read, highlight and listen to.

Does DeltaScroll change my Word document?

No. DeltaScroll creates a reading copy and never edits the original DOCX file.

Are images and headings kept?

Yes. Headings become chapters in the contents list, and images stay in the book.

Can I convert DOCX to EPUB?

Yes. Importing a DOCX into DeltaScroll converts it to an EPUB book on your device.
