Listen to Chaos (Sycophant Hex) Stories with Text-to-Speech
To listen to a Chaos (Sycophant Hex) story with text-to-speech, download the whole story as an EPUB and open it in a reading app with a read-aloud feature. WP Downloader is free and runs in your browser, so you do not need to install it.
Download the Chaos story as an EPUB
Copy the story URL from chaos.sycophanthex.com. It should look like this:
http://chaos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Then:
- Open the Chaos (Sycophant Hex) downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Wait for WP Downloader to detect the site and fetch the story.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the finished EPUB to your device.
You do not need a Chaos account. WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive, rather than a single chapter or a list of stories.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone and work with the reading options below. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the suitable format for this text-to-speech method.
For more help with the download, see how to download Chaos stories.
Listen on an iPhone or iPad
Apple Books opens EPUB files, and the iPhone and iPad Speak Screen feature can read them aloud.
Turn on Speak Screen
- Open Settings.
- Go to Accessibility.
- Select Spoken Content.
- Turn on Speak Screen.
Open the downloaded EPUB in Apple Books. While viewing the book, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to start reading it aloud.
Speak Screen uses the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the narration will sound different depending on which voices are available.
Listen on Android
On Android, you can use Select to Speak or an EPUB reader with its own read-aloud mode.
Use Select to Speak
Open Settings, go to Accessibility, and turn on Select to Speak. Tap an item on the screen when you want to hear it read aloud.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files and has a built-in text-to-speech mode. Open the EPUB from WP Downloader and start the app’s read-aloud mode.
Use @Voice Aloud Reader
@Voice Aloud Reader also reads EPUB files aloud. Open or import the downloaded story, then start its reading function.
Both apps use the text-to-speech voices installed on your phone or tablet. The available voices determine how natural the narration sounds.
Listen on Windows, macOS, or Linux
Thorium Reader and calibre can both open EPUB files and read them aloud on a computer.
Use Thorium Reader
Thorium Reader is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the downloaded EPUB and start its read-aloud feature.
Use calibre
calibre is another free desktop option. Add the EPUB to calibre, open it in the e-book viewer, and select Read aloud.
These programs use your computer’s text-to-speech voices, so the narration depends on the voices installed.
Get new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. When a Chaos story is updated, paste its link into WP Downloader again and download a new copy. Open that copy in your reading app and follow the same text-to-speech steps.
Read your downloaded story another way
You can also transfer the EPUB to a compatible e-reader. Follow the guide for sending Chaos stories to Kindle or reading Chaos stories on Kobo.
