LyraReader — books read aloud

Text-to-speech ebook reader

Free · In‑App Purchases

LyraReader is a reader that can read aloud. Open your own book and listen from the place where you stopped. The interface is translated into 13 languages. Honestly about the narrator voice The neural narrator voice reads Russian books only — the model was trained on Russian speech. A book in any other language is read by the standard device voice, the same one the phone uses to read aloud. With Premium, too, the narrator reads Russian books only: we do not promise a narrator voice in other languages. Read the way that suits you • FB2, EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, MOBI, ODT — just add the file • Covers and descriptions are filled in automatically • Font, margins, brightness, warm light; separate themes for the app and for reading • Reading works with no internet connection Listen to your own books • Narration on the fly: not an audiobook from someone else's catalog, but your book • Read with your eyes, carry on with your ears from the same place, and back again • Controls in the background and on the lock screen • The device voice reads books in any language Russian classics — free • A catalog of Russian classics in the public domain • Narrated in the narrator voice: listen without Premium and with no time limit Your progress • Reading and listening statistics, day streaks, goal of the year • Achievements and monthly summaries • Shelves and collections, reviews, readers with a similar taste • Sync across devices through your account Premium A Premium subscription unlocks the narrator voice for your own books, the AI “Earlier in the book” plot recap and the AI advisor for your library. Honestly about the narration: the voice is made by artificial intelligence from the voice of a real narrator, recorded with his consent. It is not a studio recording of every book. No ads.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Pronunciation fixes: select a word and tap Pronunciation, or use the flag in the player, then tap the stressed vowel. You need to sign in to send a fix. Your suggestion is checked, and you can follow the result in Settings under My pronunciation fixes. • The narrator now says the chapter title before each chapter; you can turn this off in Highlight while narrating. • Lock screen: the player card and the headphone buttons are now handled by the app itself. Narration starts only on your command and does not start by itself after you unlock the phone. • Gift book without an account: Start listening now explains that the narrator voice needs sign-in and offers to sign in or create an account. Narration then starts by itself. • A chapter has the same label in the library, the player and the lock screen. • Your own books: more accurate footnotes, chapters and language. Books added earlier offer to add the file again, and your progress is kept. To get footnotes in an AZW3 book, add the file again. • Since the previous iPhone version: books from files open more completely (FB2, TXT, EPUB, PDF, ZIP), narration has fewer pauses between chapters, and Next chapter opens at its start.
