How to Turn a PDF (or EPUB) Into an Audiobook
Step by step: upload a PDF, EPUB, DOCX, or TXT and listen to it with natural narration — in the original language or translated into one of 33 — and ask questions about what you read.
What you need
A DRM-free file you have the right to use: PDF, EPUB, DOCX, or TXT. Public-domain books, your own documents, open-access papers, and course readings you are licensed to use all work. Encrypted/DRM store files do not.
1. Upload the file
Drag the file into your library. It is parsed and split into chapters automatically, so you can navigate and listen chapter by chapter rather than scrubbing through one long track.
2. Choose how it is narrated
Pick a narration style: audiobook (faithful to the author’s words, with professional pacing) or storyteller (re-narrated into a more conversational retelling). Then choose the language — keep the original, or translate the narration into any of 33 languages so you can listen in the one you think in.
3. Listen anywhere, at your pace
Play from 0.5× to 2× speed, and it resumes where you left off across devices. Auto-advance moves to the next chapter so you can keep a long session going hands-free.
Why not just a text-to-speech app?
Plain text-to-speech reads words at you. The difference here is that you can also ask questions about what you are reading and get answers grounded in the text — useful exactly when a chapter loses you. Reading and understanding stay in one place instead of bouncing between an audio app and a search engine.
