Good writing. Beautifully spoken.
Narrata turns articles, EPUB books, and documents into your own listening library, with a calm reading view and natural voices generated entirely on your device.
Save something for later, choose what plays next, and take your reading with you: on the train, in the kitchen, out along the lake.
ONE GOOD READ AFTER ANOTHER
Build an Up Next queue and choose your order. When one article finishes, the next begins automatically. Press play and let your reading list unfold.
A REAL PLAYER FOR THE WRITTEN WORD
A full-screen player gives your listening room to breathe, with cover artwork and the controls you need close at hand.
• Choose your voice and listening speed
• Set a sleep timer
• Listen through AirPlay
• Keep listening in the background, with Lock Screen controls
• Pick up where you left off
• Follow along with the spoken text
Download a voice and save your reading ahead of time to listen offline.
BOOKS BELONG HERE TOO
Import EPUB books and listen continuously across chapters. Open Contents to find your way through a book, or settle into the Reader and keep going.
Narrata also welcomes PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML, and plain-text documents.
MAKE THE PAGE YOURS
Choose from six paper styles, eight reading fonts, and seven text sizes. Find the combination that feels comfortable to you, from a light page to a darker evening read.
Your reading preferences sync across your devices.
KEEP THE STORY. LOSE THE CLUTTER.
Narrata separates the writing from menus, ads, and newsletter prompts, creating a clean version for reading and listening. It tries additional ways to recover missing text from difficult pages and lets you know when a saved article appears incomplete.
PDF imports recognise titles and headings, with chapter navigation when the document includes an outline.
EVERYTHING YOU MEANT TO READ
Save from Safari, add a link, or import a document. Keep your reading together in a library with favourites and archives.
Search titles, highlights, or the full text, with matching passages shown in the results.
READ THE WORLD. IN ITS OWN VOICE.
Use Narrata in English, German, French, Polish, Ukrainian, or Spanish.
Listen in 30 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese.
