ScrollWave vs L&N Reader

ScrollWave is a serialized reading and listening app for people who want stories in episodes. Create your own books, listen to them episode by episode, read along with the full text, and continue right where you left off. ScrollWave is built for stories that fit into real life: short sessions, longer listening, and easy progress across every book. With ScrollWave, you can: • Create your own serialized books • Listen to episode-based audio • Read the text version of each episode • Resume from your last listening position • Track progress across your library • Browse available books and continue unfinished stories • Keep your created books organized in one place • Use credits to unlock listening when available ScrollWave combines the feel of audiobooks, episodic storytelling, and a personal library in one simple experience. Start a book, follow the story in audio or text, and come back whenever you are ready for the next episode.

Lectures and Narrations — a player for enhanced, multi-voice .m4b audiobooks on iPhone and iPad, with an EPUB companion reader that highlights the text in sync with the narration. PLAYER • Chapter-relative scrubbing with a whole-book progress strip and live time remaining. • ±10/30 s skips, previous/next chapter, tappable chapter list. • Pitch-preserving 0.5×–3× speed, remembered across launches. • Background playback with full lock screen and Control Center support. • Mini-player on every screen — skips, chapter and book progress, and a Read shortcut. • Auto-saves your position and resumes where you left off. CAST ANYWHERE • AirPlay and Google Cast, side by side — stream to any speaker or TV while the sleep timer, reader sync, and progress saving keep working. READER + SYNC • Attach the matching EPUB and a sync manifest, and the text highlights itself in sync with the audio, scrolling and turning pages as you listen. • Manual paging pauses following; Resume jumps back to the narrated line. • Whole-book text search with in-place highlighting. • Light/dark mode and adjustable text size, both remembered. LIBRARY • Import .m4b audiobooks from the Files app — or AirDrop a book to your device and it imports itself. • Covers with progress bars; folder-style collections you can arrange by hand. • Finish a book in a collection and the next one is offered by its cover. IMAGES • Every illustration embedded in the audiobook, in a gallery with pinch zoom — and as tappable markers on the player scrubber. SLEEP TIMER • By time or by chapters, with volume fade-out, postpone, and shake-to-postpone. ONE ECOSYSTEM, TWO HALVES LN began as an AI experiment in book understanding — using language models to analyze narrative structure, character traits, and scene dynamics — and grew into an end-to-end pipeline for immersive, multi-voice audiobooks. ln-vox, the creator: an offline, self-hosted AI pipeline that ingests raw text or EPUBs, orchestrates LLMs to cast characters and direct emotional delivery, then uses local TTS to generate a fully acted, multi-voice .m4b complete with text-to-audio sync markers. ln-reader, the consumer: this app — built specifically to play those enhanced audiobooks.
