About

LyraReader

Read full description

LyraReader is a reader that can read aloud. Open your own book and listen from the place where you stopped. The interface is translated into 13 languages. Honestly about the narrator voice The neural narrator voice reads Russian books only β€” the model was trained on Russian speech. A book in any other language is read by the standard device voice, the same one the phone uses to read aloud. With Premium, too, the narrator reads Russian books only: we do not promise a narrator voice in other languages. Read the way that suits you β€’ FB2, EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, MOBI, ODT β€” just add the file β€’ Covers and descriptions are filled in automatically β€’ Font, margins, brightness, warm light; separate themes for the app and for reading β€’ Reading works with no internet connection Listen to your own books β€’ Narration on the fly: not an audiobook from someone else's catalog, but your book β€’ Read with your eyes, carry on with your ears from the same place, and back again β€’ Controls in the background and on the lock screen β€’ The device voice reads books in any language Russian classics β€” free β€’ A catalog of Russian classics in the public domain β€’ Narrated in the narrator voice: listen without Premium and with no time limit Your progress β€’ Reading and listening statistics, day streaks, goal of the year β€’ Achievements and monthly summaries β€’ Shelves and collections, reviews, readers with a similar taste β€’ Sync across devices through your account Premium A Premium subscription unlocks the narrator voice for your own books, the AI β€œEarlier in the book” plot recap and the AI advisor for your library. Honestly about the narration: the voice is made by artificial intelligence from the voice of a real narrator, recorded with his consent. It is not a studio recording of every book. No ads.
