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. Listening and AI features use credits; top up anytime with credit packs. Sign in with email, Google, or Apple to unlock the full welcome allowance. Questions? Email litora@codeblog.net
