Turn any PDF or book into a personal audiobook — AI voices that sound human, word-by-word highlighting, and instant playback. Try free, no account needed.
You have PDFs, EPUBs, and documents you'll never find time to read. Murmura turns them into audiobooks you can listen to anywhere — with AI voices that sound human and word-by-word highlighting that keeps you in sync.
Import → Tap Play → Listen. That's it.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Import any PDF, EPUB, or text file
2. Murmura detects chapters and starts generating audio instantly
3. Listen with studio-quality neural voices — in the background, on your lock screen, or through CarPlay
No waiting for an entire book to convert. Start chapter 1 in seconds while the rest generates behind the scenes.

▸ Word-by-word highlighting — follow along as you listen
▸ Smart chapter detection — proper table of contents from any PDF
▸ 15+ neural voices — American, British, Australian accents and more
