Chorus Reader
Text to Audiobook, On-Device
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

natural-sounding audiobooks — entirely on your device.

uploading, no internet required.
Powered by Chatterbox TTS with Apple Silicon acceleration,
ChorusReader delivers studio-quality speech synthesis that runs
locally on your Mac or iPhone. Your documents never leave your

IMPORT ANYTHING
EPUB novels, PDF textbooks, plain text, Markdown, web articles —
ChorusReader handles them all. Smart chapter detection splits your
content automatically. Or paste text directly.
30 VOICES + VOICE CLONING
Choose from 30 built-in voices (15 female, 15 male). Want something
specific? Clone any voice from a short audio clip, or record
yourself right in the app. Your audiobook, your voice.

No need to wait for the full audiobook to finish. ChorusReader
streams audio in real-time — start listening within seconds.
Chapter navigation, speed control, and a sleep timer keep you in
control.

Ratings & Reviews
1.3.1
Removed on device management of models\voices - app ships with all engines bundled
1.3.0
- Clearer audio — Fixed dropouts between paragraphs,
garbled word beginnings at chapter breaks, and clipped
first syllables after pauses
- Rock-solid resume — Completely rebuilt audio
persistence: each chunk is now saved as its own file and
stitched into the final audiobook on completion. Closing
the app mid-generation and reopening picks up exactly
where you left off — no more mismatched text and audio,
no matter when the interruption happens
- Better voice cloning — Cloned voices are louder and
more faithful to your recording
- Lock screen controls — Play, pause, and skip from
Control Center now work reliably, including resuming
after pause
- Stays on your place — The app no longer jumps to the
latest generated chunk while you're listening earlier in
the book
- Accessibility — Full VoiceOver support, labeled
controls, Reduce Motion support for all animations
- Reliable resume — Closing the app mid-generation and
reopening now picks up exactly where it left off with no
mismatched text
- Stability fixes
