iPhone
Have any e-book read aloud to you – with natural voices, a sleep timer and auto-resume. 1 month free, then a one-time purchase. No subscription.
Books to listen to – whenever and wherever you like.
Owlreader byMA turns your EPUB, PDF and TXT files into audiobooks. Import a file, press play, lean back: the owl reads, you listen. While cooking, on the go, on the sofa or in bed.
WHAT THE OWL CAN DO
• Reads aloud with natural voices – offline with your iPhone’s built-in voices, or in top quality via ElevenLabs
• Import EPUB, PDF and text files; chapters are detected automatically
• Scanned or photographed PDF pages are read using on-device text recognition (OCR)
• The highlighted text always shows you where you are
• Set bookmarks and skip between chapters with ease
• Adjust speaking speed and pitch freely
• Continue listening exactly where you left off
• Play through headphones, AirPods, Bluetooth speakers or AirPlay
FALL ASLEEP WITHOUT MISSING A THING
The sleep timer pauses playback when you get tired and remembers your place automatically. The next evening, you continue exactly where you nodded off – no rewinding, no searching.
VOICES THAT SUIT YOU
Your device’s Apple voices work without an account and without internet: free and offline. For especially natural narration, you can optionally connect ElevenLabs. Simply enter your own ElevenLabs key; it is stored securely in your device’s keychain.
FAIR AND TRANSPARENT
• Try it free for 1 month with every feature included
• After that, a one-time purchase unlocks the full version – no subscription, no recurring costs
• No ads, no tracking, no user account
• Your books stay on your device
PRIVACY
Your files are processed locally. Only when you use the ElevenLabs voices is the passage currently being read sent to ElevenLabs for speech synthesis. With the Apple voices, no text ever leaves your device.
Note: Owlreader byMA does not include any books. You import your own files, for example DRM-free EPUBs or PDFs.
