Elayne vs Folire

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: • Create a local folder on your device or in iCloud and organize your books and comics into subfolders or however you prefer. • Edit your books’ information, including title, author, genre, series, rating, and other metadata. • Filter and sort your books however you like. • Add ratings so those books appear reordered in your top favorites list. • 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: • Read books in EPUB and PDF formats. • Customize your reading experience with different fonts, text sizes, margins, spacing, and colors. • Read your books without an internet connection. READ YOUR COMICS AND MANGA: • Read CBZ and CBR files directly from your device. • 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: • 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. • Use the voices available on your device or connect to external text-to-speech services. • Compatible with Google Cloud TTS, Microsoft Azure TTS, and ElevenLabs. • Use your own API keys to directly control the usage and consumption of these services. • 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. • Adjust the reading speed and choose the voice that best suits your preferences. • Play the narration in the background and control playback from the locked screen. DOWNLOAD YOUR NARRATIONS TO LISTEN OFFLINE: • Download entire chapters so you can listen to them later without an internet connection. • The generated audio is stored locally on your device and is available only for local playback within Elayne. • Track the character usage of the text-to-speech services you use. • Set limits, alerts, and usage thresholds to avoid unexpected charges. MUSIC WHILE YOU READ: • Play background music while you read or listen to your books. • Integrate Spotify or Apple Music to start playback without having to leave Elayne. • The music will play at a lower volume so it accompanies your reading without drowning out the narration. SYNCHRONIZE YOUR LIBRARY: • Create an account and sync your reading progress and settings across your devices using iCloud or Google Drive. • By using your own cloud storage, your data remains under your control. READING STATISTICS: • See how much time you’ve spent reading. • Keep track of the pages you’ve read. • Find out which genres you read most often. ACCOUNTS AND PARENTAL CONTROLS: • For family devices, you can use multiple accounts and create supervised accounts for the youngest members of the household. • 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.

Your books should feel at home on your phone. Folire brings the ebooks, PDFs, comics, and audiobooks you already own into one tidy library on iPhone and iPad. Add a file from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or the share sheet. Folire opens DRM-free EPUB, PDF, TXT, FB2, MOBI, AZW3, CBZ, and CBR books, plus MP3, M4A, and M4B audiobooks. Once imported, they're available offline. Settle in with a page that fits you. Adjust the type, spacing, margins, and colors, and choose page turns or continuous scrolling. Highlight a line, write a note, bookmark a passage, and pick up where you left off. Audiobooks remember your place too. Any book can be read aloud with the built-in system voices. On a compatible iPad, mark up PDFs with Apple Pencil. The free library holds up to five of your own books. Folire Pro is a one-time purchase for a larger library and the tools that help you go further: natural on-device neural narration for every book, auto-scroll, custom fonts and reading presets, full-library search, questions and recaps that stop at your current page, annotation export, detailed reading history, direct downloads, connections to your own OPDS, Calibre, or WebDAV library, and optional iCloud sync. Reading Assistant uses only text you've already read and processes it on your device. No account, ads, tracking, or developer-operated server. Your library stays on your device unless you choose to sync it to your private iCloud storage or connect to a server you supply. Export a complete backup whenever you need one. Folire includes four public-domain classics to start reading, but no book catalog. It can't open DRM-protected files. Optional tips support development but don't change what the app unlocks.
