Turn your ebooks and PDFs into audiobooks

Plenty of great books never get an audiobook edition, and your own documents certainly don't. Auto-Reader lets you make one: pick a book, choose a natural voice, and export it as an audio file you can keep and play anywhere.

How the audiobook maker works

  • Import the book: EPUB, PDF, MOBI, FB2, TXT, HTML, documents or scanned pages
  • Choose a natural neural voice and a reading speed you like
  • Preview it with word-by-word highlighting to check pronunciation and pace
  • Export the audiobook as an audio file and play it in any player, on any device

Because the voices run on your phone, the book does not have to be uploaded anywhere to be converted.

What people turn into audiobooks

Out-of-print novels and public-domain classics. Course readings and lecture notes to review while walking. Long reports and contracts you need to absorb before a meeting. Translated books: Auto-Reader can translate a book as you read, so you can listen to a work in your own language even when no audio edition exists.

The app also includes a shelf of free public-domain classics you can add in one tap, which makes a good first audiobook.

Listen with calming background sounds

If silence feels too stark, add a gentle background sound under the narration while you listen. It helps some people focus, and it makes longer sessions on a walk or before sleep more pleasant.

Prefer to just press play?

You don't have to export at all. Auto-Reader works as a text to speech book reader too, with background play, lock-screen and Bluetooth controls, and Android Auto for the car. Export is for when you want a file you can keep, move between your own devices, or play in another app.

Private and offline

No account is needed, and voices, reading and AI run on your device by default. Optional cloud features are only used with your consent. If you are building a listening habit, see our guide to listening while you train or commute.
