How to listen to FanFiktion.de stories with text-to-speech
To listen to a FanFiktion.de story with text-to-speech, download the whole story as an EPUB, open it in a compatible reading app, and use the app or device’s read-aloud feature. WP Downloader creates EPUB files for free and does not require an installation.
Download the FanFiktion.de story
Open the FanFiktion.de downloader and paste the story’s FanFiktion.de URL into the box. A story link looks like this:
https://www.fanfiktion.de/s/46ccbef30000616306614050WP Downloader detects the site from the link and downloads the whole story. For FanFiktion.de, it cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works with the reading apps in this guide. You can also include the story’s images.
Signing in is optional. If a story is restricted to members, you can sign in with your FanFiktion.de account so WP Downloader can access stories that account can already read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and cannot bypass membership restrictions, age restrictions, or other access controls.
For more help with downloading, read the FanFiktion.de download guide.
Listen on an iPhone or iPad
Apple’s Speak Screen feature can read an EPUB aloud in Apple Books.
Turn on Speak Screen
- Open Settings.
- Go to Accessibility.
- Select Spoken Content.
- Turn on Speak Screen.
Open the downloaded EPUB in Apple Books. With the story on the screen, swipe down from the top with two fingers to start reading it aloud.

Listen on Android
Android has several ways to read the downloaded story aloud.
Use Select to Speak
Turn on Select to Speak in the Accessibility section of Settings. Once enabled, tap or select the story text on the screen to hear it read aloud.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files and has a built-in text-to-speech mode. Open the downloaded FanFiktion.de EPUB in Moon+ Reader, then start its read-aloud feature.
Use @Voice Aloud Reader
@Voice Aloud Reader can also read EPUB files aloud on Android. Open or import the downloaded EPUB, then use the app’s reading controls to start listening.
Both apps use the text-to-speech voices installed on your Android device. Changing the installed voice can change how the narration sounds.
Listen on Windows, macOS, or Linux
You can listen on a desktop or laptop with an EPUB reader that has a read-aloud feature.
Use Thorium Reader
Thorium Reader is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the EPUB in Thorium Reader and start its read-aloud feature.
Use calibre
calibre is a free desktop application with an e-book viewer. Add or open the EPUB, launch it in the viewer, and select Read aloud.
These programs use the text-to-speech voices installed on your computer. The available voices depend on your operating system and its voice settings.
Listening to updated stories
Download the story again when new chapters are published. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB, so you need a fresh copy to get the latest available chapters.
Keep the EPUB on the device you use for listening. Once it is open in your chosen reader, you can listen without returning to the FanFiktion.de story page.
To read on an e-reader instead, follow the guides for sending FanFiktion.de stories to Kindle or reading FanFiktion.de stories on Kobo.
WP Downloader’s support for FanFiktion.de and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
