How it works

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

Echory reads the books you already own. 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.

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 own, 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 own

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

2

We find the 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.

What works best

  • Books with real, selectable text
  • Textbooks, business, fiction, reports
  • A table of contents helps, but isn’t required
  • Photos or scans of pages
  • DRM-protected files
  • Summaries — you’ll get the summary, not the book

Questions people ask first

Do I need to own the book?

Yes. Echory reads books you already own — 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 10 books a month and 8+ hours of listening a month.

Can I listen offline?

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