Lima Library vs LaziBook

Lima Library

LaziBook turns every book you own into an audiobook. Open EPUB, PDF, Kindle, Word files or comics and listen in natural voices — speech is generated right on your iPhone or iPad, with no internet, no account and no ads. LISTEN • Tap Listen and reading starts from the page you are on; the current sentence is highlighted, each word lights up as it is spoken, and pages turn by themselves. Tap any sentence to read from there. • Keeps reading with the screen locked: control it from the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Control Center or your headphones. • Background sound: 6 music themes and 6 ambient sounds (rain, ocean waves, campfire…) that play along with the voice. • A separate voice for dialogue, custom pronunciations for any word, and Speak for any selected passage. • Speed 0.75–2×, sleep timer, and an Up Next queue that moves on to the next book. • Export audiobooks as M4B with chapters to play in other apps. • Now Playing and Bookshelf widgets; a Read button for Control Center, the Action button or Siri. VOICES ON YOUR DEVICE • 31 Vietnamese voices from the North, Centre and South: 25 Turbo voices with 48 kHz audio (iPhone 13, iPhone SE 3rd generation, iPad with A15 or M1 and later) and 6 lightweight Nano voices that run on every device. • 10 English voices. LaziBook picks the right voice for the language of each book and each sentence. • Studio: preview every voice, add pauses and emotions, write multi-voice scripts and save them as MP3 with cover art and background sound. • Create your own voice from 5–15 seconds of recording — processed entirely on your device, never uploaded. READS LIKE A REAL BOOK • Book effect with page edges, spine and shadows; pages curl under your finger, two pages on a landscape iPad, or vertical scrolling. • Six light and dark themes; adjust font, size, line spacing, margins and justification. • Highlights in five colours, notes, bookmarks and a Notebook that gathers them all; EPUB footnotes open in place. • Look up words with Lazidi (Vietnamese, English, Chinese, Japanese) or the built-in Dictionary; pinyin and Sino-Vietnamese readings above Chinese characters. • Math formulas rendered and read aloud. • Fixes Vietnamese typos in ebooks; Clean up book removes ad lines repeated in every chapter. ON-DEVICE TRANSLATION • Translate English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean books into Vietnamese: read side by side, sentence by sentence, or listen to the translation. Works offline after a one-time download (about 440 MB). • Name and term lists for Chinese novels; see the original of any translated sentence. PDFS AND COMICS • PDFs keep their original printed layout and can be read aloud, with the current sentence highlighted right on the page. • Comics in CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT and PDF: right-to-left reading for manga, vertical scrolling for webtoons. • Opens password-protected PDFs. LIBRARY • 15 formats: EPUB, PDF, MOBI, PRC, AZW, AZW3, DOCX, TXT, RTF, Markdown, FB2, CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT. • Add books from Files, the share sheet, Google Drive, Dropbox, OPDS servers (Calibre, Komga, Kavita…), or paste a Wikisource, Project Gutenberg or story-site link. • Books live in iCloud Drive › LaziBook, shared with your iPad and Mac; reading positions, highlights and notes sync through your own iCloud. • Clean up and convert: rewrite a book as a tidy EPUB 3, turn TXT, Word or Kindle files into EPUB 3, or export an A5 PDF to print. • Edit book details and covers; book status, smart shelves, reading and listening statistics, full-text search across your library; back up to a file. • Free Books: download, read and listen to classics such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Số Đỏ.
