Turn the books and documents you already own into audiobooks. Murmur reads EPUBs and PDFs aloud with natural neural voices that run entirely on your iPhone. Import a book, choose a narrator, press play, and keep listening while you commute, exercise, cook, clean, or simply give your eyes a break. NO AUDIOBOOK? NO PROBLEM. Most books will never receive a professionally produced audiobook. Your textbooks, PDFs, self-published books, research material, old EPUBs, and personal documents may never have one at all.
