Who it's for
Your reading list isn't going
to read itself.
Narrativo was built for people who want to learn more but have less time than books demand.
"You have a 45-minute commute and a 40-book reading list."
Narrativo turns your backlog into your soundtrack.
"You want to learn while you train, but podcasts aren't enough."
Import the book your industry is talking about. Press play.
"Dense PDFs don't absorb themselves at midnight."
Listen once, read along, let the AI chapter summaries do the rest.
"The book everyone says you should read has sat on your shelf for a year."
Six hours of audio. Done in a week of commutes.
Built different
Everything a real audiobook has.
Plus things it doesn't.
Commercial audiobooks cost $15–$30 each. Narrativo narrates your own library for cents.
11 narrator voices
Eight standard voices plus three signature AI personas. Adjustable speed. Add custom narrator instructions for more control.
Follow every word as it's spoken
Each sentence lights up the moment it's read aloud. Absorb more, drift off less.
Generate once. Listen forever.
Audio is cached on your device. Airplane mode, no signal — your book plays.
Any book you already own
EPUB, PDF, DOCX — if it's a document, Narrativo reads it. No subscriptions to someone else's library.
Study mode for dense material
AI key points, Q&A flashcards, and chapter summaries. Great for textbooks and anything you need to retain.
A voice for every character
Assign a unique AI voice to each character. Fiction finally sounds like it has a full cast.
Ambient sound that sets the mood
Blend Rain, Fire, Café, or Forest beneath the narration.
Sleep timer that actually works
Stop after a chapter or N minutes. A visual ring counts down so you know exactly when it pauses.
