How it works

From a file on your laptop
to a book in your ears.

Echory reads the books you have. Drop in a PDF or EPUB and it comes back as a chapter-by-chapter audiobook in a natural voice — usually in about three minutes.

Live demo

Hear it before you sign up

That’s a real narrated chapter, built the same way yours will be — chapters found automatically, read in a natural voice. No account needed.

Voices

Pick a voice you’ll love.

A range of natural narrators — set a default or switch anytime, at any speed from 0.5× to 2×.

Every book you have, read aloud in a voice you'll actually love. Just upload a PDF or EPUB, and Echory turns it into a clean, natural audiobook, chapter by chapter. Then press play, and listen anywhere.

Add a book you have

Drag in a PDF or EPUB, or pick one from Files, iCloud Drive or Google Drive on your phone. Up to 50 MB.

2

It comes back split into chapters

Echory reads the file, works out where each chapter begins and ends, and cleans up the extraction artefacts that make most PDF audio unlistenable. Nothing to configure.

Press play

Natural voice, any speed, resumes where you left off across every device. Your library is yours.

Questions people ask first

Do I need to own the book?

Yes. Echory reads the books you bring it — it doesn’t supply titles.

How long does it take?

Usually about three minutes. You can close the tab; we’ll email you when it’s ready.

What if a book doesn’t convert?

We tell you why and flag it for review. It doesn’t count against your allowance.

What do I get for free?

The free plan is 1 book per month, forever, with no card. Premium is 5 books a month and 15 hours of listening a month.

Can I listen offline?

Not yet — everything streams, and picks up where you left off on any device.
