Upload the EPUB on this page and press play once its chapters are ready. Listenly reads it aloud in the voice you choose, and you can download the whole book as an M4B audiobook whenever you want a file to keep.
Yes, for the first 20 minutes: new accounts get them with Standard voices, no card required. After that you pay as you go: ~$1.50/hr of audio with Standard voices or ~$2.50/hr with HD voices. Replaying audio you’ve already generated is free.
Yes. Chapters come from the EPUB’s own table of contents, so you can skip between them while you listen, and each one becomes a chapter marker in the M4B download. A book without a table of contents is split at its headings instead.
You can download an M4B audiobook with chapter markers or a single M4A file; MP3 isn’t offered. Parts you’ve already listened to are included free, the cost of the rest is shown before you confirm, and we email the link when it’s ready.
EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and FB2 files up to 50 MB. Books protected by DRM can’t be read.
Only if the file is DRM-free. Most books bought in Kindle and other ebook stores are protected by DRM and can’t be read. DRM-free MOBI, AZW3 and EPUB files work like any other upload.
An M4B is a single audiobook file with chapter markers, which audiobook players show so you can skip between chapters. If your player doesn’t read M4B, download the single M4A file instead.
Listenly prepares the text and chapters first, which takes longer for bigger books. Then you can press play: audio is generated as you listen, so you don’t wait for the whole book and pay only for what’s narrated.
Yes. Open Listenly in your phone’s browser and add it to your home screen to use it like an app. Your place is saved across devices, and playback goes up to 3× speed.
57 languages, detected automatically, and 36 voices you can preview before you start. Voices sound best in English and other Latin-alphabet languages such as French and German, and may carry an accent in others.
Yes. Uploads are visible only to you unless you choose to share one by link from its page.
