Litora
Read full descriptionHide full description
Finish a book with your ears. Litora turns the books you already own into natural-sounding audiobooks. Import an EPUB or text file and Litora reads it aloud with lifelike cloud voices — including voices that handle Chinese and English in the same book. Listen while you walk, commute, work out, or rest your eyes. WHY LITORA • Your own books — Import EPUB or plain-text files. Litora parses chapters and paragraphs so playback follows the book, sentence by sentence. • Natural cloud voices — Lifelike voices read your book aloud. Pick a different voice per book, including multilingual voices that read Chinese and English without switching apps. • Background & lock screen — Keep listening with the screen off. Control playback from the lock screen and your headphones. • Offline download — Prepare a whole book ahead of time and listen with no signal — on a flight, on the subway, anywhere. • Always in your place — Your position is saved sentence by sentence and synced to your account, so you resume exactly where you left off across devices. • Ask about what you hear — Pause and ask for a plain explanation of a passage, with context that doesn't spoil what's coming next. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import an EPUB or text file. 2. Pick a voice for the book. 3. Press play and listen — lock the screen and go. PRICING New accounts get a free trial allowance.

Read full descriptionHide full description
Every Audiobookshelf server you use, in one library: your own, a family member's, a friend's. Books on two servers show once, series join up in order across servers, and an ebook reader sits right beside the player. ONE LIBRARY, MANY SERVERS • Sign in to every server you have an account on and browse them as one shelf. • A book held on two servers appears once. • A series split across servers reads as one series, in order. • Your progress goes back to each server, so it follows you to your other devices and apps. A PLAYER BUILT FOR LONG BOOKS • Chapters, bookmarks, a sleep timer, and a playback speed that stays set. • Keeps playing with the screen locked, with lock screen, Control Center and headphone controls. • Download books and listen offline. LISTEN AND READ IN ONE APP • A reader for EPUB, PDF and comic books. • The player keeps going while the reader is open. FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK • The next and missing books in your series, more from the authors and narrators you like, and books like the ones you have finished. • Like a book, mark it Not for me, or add it to your wishlist. • Recommend a book to the people who share your server, or ask its owner for one you would like. • Sponsored and promoted books are always labelled. Discover and its shop links are offered in the United States. • Disclosure: we may earn a commission when you buy through shop links in the app, at no cost to you. MAKE IT YOURS • Light or dark theme, your own accent colour, and text that scales up or down. • List or grid, sort and filter, and the tab the app opens on. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Never changes files or metadata on your server. It writes your listening progress and nothing else. • No account with us, and no tracking. • Sharing your reading taste for better suggestions is off until you switch it on, and you can delete what you have shared at any time. WHAT YOU NEED An Audiobookshelf server you can sign in to — your own, or one somebody has given you an account on. Audiobook Co-op has no books of its own. Audiobookshelf is an independent open-source project; Audiobook Co-op is not affiliated with it or endorsed by it. FREE, WITH ONE-TIME UNLOCKS Free with one server, with the player, the reader, downloads and Discover all included. The free version shows sponsored and promoted books, always labelled. Nothing is a subscription. • Two servers: merge a second server into the library, and stop the sponsored banner opening by itself. • Unlimited: any number of servers, a sponsored banner you can switch off, and new-release alerts for your series. • Family: everything in Unlimited, shared with up to five family members through Family Sharing. Tips are optional and unlock nothing. Privacy policy: https://sidequestered.com/audiobookcoop/privacy

Verdict
Litora and Audiobook Co are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
