Read and listen to the same book without losing your place. Switch between text and audio whenever you want, now also from CarPlay.
Read your ePub and listen to its audiobook, at the same time.
Continuum is the only app built for immersive reading: text and audio playing together, always in sync, always at your pace. Import your own files, link them once, and read or listen interchangeably, your furthest point is always saved, regardless of format.
IMMERSIVE READING MODE
Follow the ePub text while the audiobook plays. The chapter starts when the audio chapter starts. Ideal for language learners, students, and readers with dyslexia.
ONE PROGRESS BAR. TWO FORMATS.
Read 3 chapters. Listen to 2 more. Continuum tracks your furthest point across both, automatically. No confusion, no lost place.
SCAN A PAPER PAGE. JUMP TO THE EBOOK.
Reading a physical book? Photograph the page you stopped on. Continuum uses OCR to find that exact spot in your ePub instantly. Switch from paper to digital without losing your place.
CHAPTER SYNC WIZARD
Link your ePub to your audiobook chapter by chapter, once. Continuum handles the rest. Edit any pair manually when chapters don't match exactly.

This app is incredible for the price! upload your own files and you can read up to 10x when most apps can’t offer more than 2-3x. Additionally being able to add the epub and follow along is excellent if you don’t mind turning the pages yourself :) works on ipad beautifully and hopefully apple watch one day
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for the kind words on the concept! Great news, the next update bumps playback speed all the way up to 10x, with a manual fine-tune so you can dial in exactly the pace you want. It's already on its way. Hope you'll enjoy the faster listening!Continuum App - team
Doesn’t Work
SilentVirtue
I paid for the app, but it didn’t work. Loaded both my epub and m4b audio files, but it wouldn’t play the audio file. The audio file plays fine in every other app.
Developer Response
Hi, and thank you for your patience, I'm sorry the audiobook wouldn't play. You were right: certain M4B files weren't being handled correctly on import, which is exactly what you ran into. This is fixed in version 1.8, now available. Your M4B should load and play just as it does elsewhere.If anything still doesn't work, please reach out at support@undercoverlab.com and I'll help you directly. Thanks for giving Continuum a try.
