Review the title, author, language, summary and cast, rename anyone, and add voice hints like "gravelly" or "gentle" before anything is saved. VOICES FOR YOUR CAST • Each character gets a suggested AI voice: tap to hear a sample, or pick another • In a book in another language, you pick the narrator and up to five main characters, and NovelHive casts the rest • In a large cast, or a language with fewer voices, minor characters may share a voice • You see the price in credits and your balance before you create the audiobook LISTEN IN THE APP • Playback speed from 0.5x to 2x, a sleep timer, 15-second skips and chapter skips • Keeps playing in the background and on the lock screen • Prefer to read? Switch to the text at any time • Audio streams from your NovelHive library, so listening needs an internet connection NO MANUSCRIPT YET? START FROM AN IDEA Describe a story, like a mystery in Victorian London or a romance on Mars, and NovelHive writes the novel, designs its cover and can narrate it as an audiobook. Share the novels you create in Novel Square, and discover stories other people have shared, some with audio. Uploaded books always stay private. CREDITS, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Creating audiobooks and novels uses credits. Credit packs are one-time in-app purchases: there's no subscription, and purchased credits don't expire. You always see the cost before you confirm. Try before you buy: if your balance is too low, you can hear the first chapter of an uploaded book free, read by its cast. This needs a verified email, covers up to 30,000 characters and is limited per account. Sign in with Apple, Google or email.

Features: • Import documents and URLs • Read PDFs, ebooks, Markdown, and more • Highlight passages and add notes • Listen from your current reading position • Ask document-aware questions while reading or listening • Keep reading progress and annotations together • Choose from four reading palettes AI and your data: Linea uses AI only when you ask it to. It does not run your documents through AI in the background. Eligible signed-in Linea accounts can use Linea's rate-limited managed Ask without a personal API key: the question and relevant document context are processed by Linea, which may call an upstream model. For a user-owned cloud provider, Linea sends your question and relevant document context directly from your device to that provider using the API key you supplied; Linea's developer does not receive those direct-to-provider requests. When available and selected, on-device Apple Intelligence requests stay on your device. Linea is built for sustained attention: fewer distractions, better context, and a clear path back to the thread.
