## What is Elayne?

Elayne turns your iPhone or iPad into a reader, a narrator, and a personal library for your books and comics. Organize your collection, read or listen to your EPUBs with natural-sounding voices, and keep track of everything you read.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY:

• Create a local folder on your device or in iCloud and organize your books and comics into subfolders or however you prefer.
• Edit your books’ information, including title, author, genre, series, rating, and other metadata.
• Filter and sort your books however you like.
• Add ratings so those books appear reordered in your top favorites list.
• Check your reading progress and keep track of what you’ve read, are reading, or still have left to read from your books and series.

READ YOUR BOOKS:

• Read books in EPUB and PDF formats.
• Customize your reading experience with different fonts, text sizes, margins, spacing, and colors.
• Read your books without an internet connection.

READ YOUR COMICS AND MANGA:

• Read CBZ and CBR files directly from your device.
• Use a magnifying glass to zoom in on page details or the free zoom feature to adjust the page to your reading style.

LISTEN TO YOUR EPUBS WHILE YOU WALK:

• Convert the text of your EPUB books to speech in real time and listen while you do other things, such as walking, exercising, or when you’re drifting off to sleep.
• Use the voices available on your device or connect to external text-to-speech services.
• Compatible with Google Cloud TTS, Microsoft Azure TTS, and ElevenLabs.
• Use your own API keys to directly control the usage and consumption of these services.
• Schedule reading sessions by chapter to better manage your time. The reading will automatically stop when it reaches the end of the scheduled session, accompanied by a subtle sound.
• Adjust the reading speed and choose the voice that best suits your preferences.
• Play the narration in the background and control playback from the locked screen.

DOWNLOAD YOUR NARRATIONS TO LISTEN OFFLINE:

• Download entire chapters so you can listen to them later without an internet connection.
• The generated audio is stored locally on your device and is available only for local playback within Elayne.
• Track the character usage of the text-to-speech services you use.
• Set limits, alerts, and usage thresholds to avoid unexpected charges.

MUSIC WHILE YOU READ:

• Play background music while you read or listen to your books.
• Integrate Spotify or Apple Music to start playback without having to leave Elayne.
• The music will play at a lower volume so it accompanies your reading without drowning out the narration.

SYNCHRONIZE YOUR LIBRARY:

• Create an account and sync your reading progress and settings across your devices using iCloud or Google Drive.
• By using your own cloud storage, your data remains under your control.

READING STATISTICS:

• See how much time you’ve spent reading.
• Keep track of the pages you’ve read.
• Find out which genres you read most often.

ACCOUNTS AND PARENTAL CONTROLS:

• For family devices, you can use multiple accounts and create supervised accounts for the youngest members of the household.
• Set restrictions on those accounts to hide certain books and features.

Elayne is designed for people who travel a lot or who, due to a lack of time, can never find that daily moment to sit down and read.
