Books don't read
themselves. Until now.
Import any EPUB, PDF, or DOCX. Narrativo narrates it with an expressive AI voice — while you commute, cook, exercise, or close your eyes. Your books. Your voice. Everywhere.
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.
Sounds like a real audiobook
Eight expressive OpenAI TTS voices. Adjustable speed from 0.75× to 2×. Add your own narrator instructions so it sounds exactly how you want.
Follow every word as it's spoken
Each sentence lights up the moment it's read aloud. You'll absorb more, drift off less, and actually remember what you listened to.
Generate once. Listen forever.
Audio is cached on your device after the first generation. Airplane mode, no signal, middle of nowhere — your book plays.
Any book you already own
EPUB, PDF, DOCX — if it's a document, Narrativo can read it. No DRM workarounds, no subscriptions to someone else's library.
Study mode for dense material
AI-generated key points, Q&A flashcards, and chapter summaries. Great for textbooks, business books, and anything you need to retain.
Different voices for different characters
Assign a unique AI voice to each character. Fiction finally sounds like it has a full cast instead of one person doing all the voices.
Ambient sound that sets the mood
Blend Rain, Fire, Café, or Forest beneath the narration. Focus mode without the distraction of music.
Sleep timer that actually works
Stop after a chapter, or after N minutes. A visual ring counts down so you know exactly when your book will pause.
Look up any word instantly
Double-tap to define. Long-press to translate into any of 9 languages. Perfect for reading in a language you're learning.
