EPUB is the world's most common ebook format, and chances are your library is full of them — books you bought, downloaded, or saved to read "someday". VocaRead turns that someday pile into a listening list. Import any EPUB and a natural, human-sounding voice reads it aloud while the current line is highlighted, so you can finally enjoy the books you already own during the commute, the workout, or the moment before sleep.

Your EPUBs, not a store's catalogue

Audiobook services only let you listen to the titles they sell — and charge $15 to $30 each. VocaRead is different: it reads the EPUB files you already have. Drag in a book from your files, open one straight from Apple Books or any reader app, or browse thousands of free EPUB classics from the built-in Project Gutenberg library. Once a voice is downloaded, every word is generated on your device, so it works on a plane, in the subway, or anywhere without a signal.

A real reading experience, in your ears

VocaRead isn't a robotic reader. Choose from 80+ natural voices across 30+ languages, adjust the speed to your taste, and follow along with synchronised line highlighting. Bookmark passages, fix the pronunciation of any name with a long press, set a sleep timer for bedtime, and pick up exactly where you left off across iPhone and iPad. Your EPUB becomes a genuine audiobook — yours, private, and offline.
