Give your words a voice. With Narrify, your notes, favorite passages, and stories become books you can read or listen to. Keep them together in your own library, then choose a voice and reading style to suit the moment. MAKE A BOOK FROM YOUR PAGES Start with text you type or paste, pages you scan with the camera, or a compatible PDF with the pages you choose. Review the text before saving, then shape your book as you go: edit its pages and add more later. Make it your own with a title and cover. FIND YOUR WAY TO LISTEN Expressive, formal, or relaxed: choose from the available AI voices in many languages and six reading styles to match your text. You can also choose the AI narration speed, or listen with the system voices available on your device. A LIBRARY THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS Covers take center stage, and recent books are close at hand. Saved listening progress helps you find your place again. With six visual themes, illustrated details, and light and dark appearances, you can set the mood for reading and listening. GOOD TO KNOW AI audio generation requires an internet connection and is subject to the character allowances and purchase options shown in the app. AI audio already generated and saved on your device can be played offline. System voices depend on what’s available on your device. Privacy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/75488989 Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
