EPUB text to speech, chapter by chapter
Open any DRM-free EPUB and Talevoxa splits it into chapters, reads it aloud in a natural voice and highlights every word. When a chapter ends, the next one starts by itself.

How to listen to an EPUB
- Open the online reader or the Android app.
- Tap Open EPUB / PDF and choose your file. Chapters appear in a list.
- Press play, or tap any sentence to start there. Your position is saved automatically.
What works and what doesn’t
| EPUB type | Supported |
|---|---|
| DRM-free EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 | Yes |
| Light novel EPUBs with images | Yes (images are skipped, text is read) |
| EPUBs locked with DRM (Kindle, Adobe DRM) | No |
Private by design
Your EPUB is opened on your own device. On the web it is stored in your browser; in the app it is stored in the app’s private storage. You can delete a book and all its data at any time.
Questions
Do I need to convert EPUB to MP3?
No. Talevoxa reads the EPUB directly, so there is no conversion step and no huge audio files.
Can I listen offline?
Yes, in the Android app with offline voices, or with your device’s own voices.
Does it work on iPhone?
The online reader works in Safari on iPhone and iPad. The Talevoxa app is currently Android only.
