Read full description

Elayne turns your iPhone or iPad into a reader, a narrator, and a personal library for your books and comics. Organize your collection, read or listen to your EPUBs with natural-sounding voices, and keep track of everything you read. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY: β€’ Create a local folder on your device or in iCloud and organize your books and comics into subfolders or however you prefer. β€’ Edit your books’ information, including title, author, genre, series, rating, and other metadata. β€’ Filter and sort your books however you like. β€’ Add ratings so those books appear reordered in your top favorites list. β€’ Check your reading progress and keep track of what you’ve read, are reading, or still have left to read from your books and series. READ YOUR BOOKS: β€’ Read books in EPUB and PDF formats. β€’ Customize your reading experience with different fonts, text sizes, margins, spacing, and colors. β€’ Read your books without an internet connection. READ YOUR COMICS AND MANGA: β€’ Read CBZ and CBR files directly from your device. β€’ Use a magnifying glass to zoom in on page details or the free zoom feature to adjust the page to your reading style. LISTEN TO YOUR EPUBS WHILE YOU WALK: β€’ Convert the text of your EPUB books to speech in real time and listen while you do other things, such as walking, exercising, or when you’re drifting off to sleep. β€’ Use the voices available on your device or connect to external text-to-speech services. β€’ Compatible with Google Cloud TTS, Microsoft Azure TTS, and ElevenLabs. β€’ Use your own API keys to directly control the usage and consumption of these services. β€’ Schedule reading sessions by chapter to better manage your time. The reading will automatically stop when it reaches the end of the scheduled session, accompanied by a subtle sound. β€’ Adjust the reading speed and choose the voice that best suits your preferences. β€’ Play the narration in the background and control playback from the locked screen. DOWNLOAD YOUR NARRATIONS TO LISTEN OFFLINE: β€’ Download entire chapters so you can listen to them later without an internet connection. β€’ The generated audio is stored locally on your device and is available only for local playback within Elayne. β€’ Track the character usage of the text-to-speech services you use. β€’ Set limits, alerts, and usage thresholds to avoid unexpected charges. MUSIC WHILE YOU READ: β€’ Play background music while you read or listen to your books. β€’ Integrate Spotify or Apple Music to start playback without having to leave Elayne. β€’ The music will play at a lower volume so it accompanies your reading without drowning out the narration. SYNCHRONIZE YOUR LIBRARY: β€’ Create an account and sync your reading progress and settings across your devices using iCloud or Google Drive. β€’ By using your own cloud storage, your data remains under your control. READING STATISTICS: β€’ See how much time you’ve spent reading. β€’ Keep track of the pages you’ve read. β€’ Find out which genres you read most often. ACCOUNTS AND PARENTAL CONTROLS: β€’ For family devices, you can use multiple accounts and create supervised accounts for the youngest members of the household. β€’ Set restrictions on those accounts to hide certain books and features. Elayne is designed for people who travel a lot or who, due to a lack of time, can never find that daily moment to sit down and read.
