EPUB downloads are free for everyone and work with the text-to-speech options below. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
Listen on an iPhone or iPad
Apple Books opens EPUB files, and iPhones and iPads include Speak Screen.
In Settings, select Accessibility, then Spoken Content, and turn on Speak Screen. Open the EPUB in Apple Books, then swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the page read aloud.
Speak Screen uses the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the narration will sound different depending on the voice you use.
Listen on an Android phone or tablet
Android has an accessibility feature called Select to Speak. To turn it on, open Settings and select Accessibility. Open the story, then use Select to Speak to tap the items you want Android to read aloud.
You can also open the EPUB in one of these readers:
- Moon+ Reader has a built-in text-to-speech mode.
- @Voice Aloud Reader reads EPUB files aloud.
Both readers use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device.
