Turn your own books into the voice you want to hear. Wen is a smart reader built entirely around the books you already own. GET STARTED IN SECONDS Import and start listening right away — txt, epub, even PDF are supported. Add a whole folder or zip file at once, no need to import one book at a time. During batch import, AI recognizes csv, Excel (xlsx), and json library catalogs inside the folder for more accurate book info. LIFELIKE AI NARRATION Free offline narration: synthesized on-device, no network needed, ready whenever you are. General narration: natural, cloud-based AI voices with richer, more lifelike quality. Theater Mode: recognizes dialogue and emotion, giving narration and each character their own voice — your book, performed like a radio drama. FIND THE BOOK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR Semantic search: too many books, and you only remember the scene, not the title? You'll still find it. In-book search: jump straight to the exact chapter or passage. Smart library: sort, organize, and build a library that's truly yours. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Imported text stays on your device by default. Cloud narration only sends content to a voice provider after you consent. Semantic search runs entirely on-device — nothing is ever uploaded. Terms of Use: https://wenreader.com/terms
