Morph Books vs Local Narrator

Morph is the reading app that shapes itself to you. Read, listen, or do both — it adapts to however you want to experience your books. READ WITH FOCUS Import any EPUB and read in a clean, distraction-free reader. Customize your font, theme, and spacing. Highlight passages with smooth, marker-style highlights and save quotes as you go. LISTEN WITH NATURAL AI VOICES Turn any book into an audiobook with AI-powered text-to-speech. Follow along with word-level highlighting that keeps you in sync. Play in the background while you cook, commute, or work out. READ AND LISTEN AT THE SAME TIME Studies show you retain significantly more when you read and listen simultaneously. Morph makes it effortless — just tap play and follow along. Focus mode highlights the current word as it's spoken, so your eyes follow naturally without strain. Less effort, more retention. RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) The First RSVP paired with audio to allow you to not only read faster, but have better comprehension, memory and focus! BROWSE THE MORPH STORE Explore hundreds of public domain classics — from Austen to Dostoevsky — curated into collections and ready to download with one tap. Search by title or author, browse by genre, and build your library without leaving the app. New users get a free book to start reading immediately. ASK YOUR BOOKS QUESTIONS Stuck on a concept? Curious about a character? The AI assistant reads along with you and answers any questions about what you're reading, right from the page. TRACK YOUR READING LIFE Set daily goals, build streaks, and see your reading stats over time. Watch your habits transform. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE Sync your books, highlights, and progress across all your devices. Pick up exactly where you left off. BUILT FOR READERS, NOT JUST LISTENERS Most TTS apps treat reading as an afterthought — they strip the book down to an audio feed and call it done. Morph was built the other way around. Reading comes first. The text is always beautiful, always yours. TTS is there when you want it, gone when you don't. Switch between reading, listening, or both with a single tap. No mode feels like a compromise. WORKS 100% OFFLINE Morph runs a local AI voice model directly on your device. No internet needed, no streaming delays, no buffering. Import a book, close your wifi, and listen. It just works. MORPH EXCLUSIVE VOICES Custom-built voices you won't find anywhere else. Warm, natural, and designed specifically for long-form reading. Choose from multiple voices or switch to whisper mode — soft, slowed ASMR-style narration perfect for winding down before sleep. IMPORT ANYTHING EPUBs from your device, articles from the web, PDFs — if you can read it, you can Morph it. Import by file, URL, or share sheet. DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFE Set a sleep timer and drift off to a book. Listen in the background while you drive, cook, or work out. Seamlessly switch between reading and listening without losing your place. Morph fits around your day, not the other way around.

Your books, read aloud — privately, on your iPhone. Local Narrator turns any EPUB or text-based PDF in your library into a real audiobook, narrated by a warm neural voice that runs entirely on the Apple Neural Engine. Nothing leaves your device. There is no cloud. There is no account. There is nothing to opt out of. — BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS — Drop in EPUB or PDF files from the Files app, the share sheet, or AirDrop. Your books stay on your iPhone, and the audio they become stays there too. No upload, no forced sync, no backup you didn't ask for. — A REAL NEURAL NARRATOR — Local Narrator runs Kokoro-82M, a state-of-the-art on-device text-to-speech model, on the Apple Neural Engine. The voices are warm, natural, and quietly expressive. When you'd rather not download the model, Apple's built-in system voices work for free. — BILINGUAL, AND SMART ABOUT IT — English and Spanish. Local Narrator detects each book's language and picks a voice trained for it. Spanish voices are still in beta stage. — LIKE AN AUDIOBOOK SHOULD BE — • Background playback that doesn't stop when the screen sleeps • Lock-screen controls — play, pause, +30, −15, scrub • Home and Lock-screen widget with a clean amber progress ring • Sleep timer for reading yourself to sleep • Per-book reading position, automatically saved • Unlimited bookmarks • Adjustable speed from 0.5× to 3.0× • Light parchment or dark charcoal reading themes • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No accounts. No telemetry. No advertising SDKs. No third-party trackers. The only network call the app ever makes is the optional, one-time download of the Kokoro voice model. After that, everything works in airplane mode. — ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOREVER. — Free to download and try with one book and Apple's system voices. A single $4.99 in-app purchase ("Local Narrator Full Access") unlocks unlimited books, all neural voices, the full speed range, the widget, the sleep timer, and unlimited bookmarks. No subscription. Family Sharing supported. — BUILT FOR REAL iPhones — iOS 17 and newer. iPhone 15 or later (Pro version recommended), optimised for the Apple Neural Engine. A small, careful app for people who still read.
