Éist: PDF/Ebook to Audiobook

About

Unlimited listening, free. No ads, no account, no catch. Éist turns any EPUB or PDF into a natural-sounding audiobook — fully offline, with Read-along that lights up each word exactly as you hear it. Éist (pronounced "esht", Irish for "listen") uses on-device AI voices to read your ebooks aloud. Import a file, pick a voice, press play. Your library stays on your device and works with no internet once a voice is downloaded. No ads, ever. READ ALONG AS YOU LISTEN As the voice narrates, each word appears one at a time, perfectly in sync with the audio, with the focal letter highlighted — so your eyes stay on the page and your focus stays on the story. Tap the bolt icon while listening to switch it on, and use the sync dial to fine-tune the timing. Great for focus, following along, and language learning. LISTEN TO ANY BOOK Import any EPUB or PDF from your device and Éist reads it aloud with remarkably natural AI voices. Perfect for commutes, workouts, chores, or winding down at the end of the day. LISTEN TO YOUR FANFIC LIBRARY Paste a link from Archive of Our Own (AO3), FanFiction.net, or Royal Road, or any article or blog post, and Éist turns it into a chaptered audiobook with the same natural voices and Read-along as your regular books. If you've ever wished your favourite fanfiction had an audiobook, this is it. Fics and articles are free, with a generous allowance, and don't count against your 3-book library limit. EXPRESSIVE AI VOICES Choose from a curated selection of on-device voice engines — Kokoro, Piper and Supertonic. Each has a distinct character and accent, across dozens of languages. Preview before you commit, and switch any time mid-book. SMART AHEAD-OF-PLAYBACK SYNTHESIS Éist pre-generates audio ahead of where you're listening, so playback is seamless.
