Listen to your EPUB, PDF, TXT, and Markdown books with natural voices, audio export, offline playback, synced notes, bookmarks, and on-device AI.
Turn the books you already own into an audiobook-style experience.
Read Aloud Book Reader is built for people who prefer listening, want to read with their ears while multitasking, or need a more accessible way to get through EPUB, PDF, TXT, and Markdown books. Import your files, pick a voice you like, press play, and the app keeps your place while highlighting text in sync.
This is not a subscription library. You use your own books. That means no buying the same title twice just to get audio.
