Get the ebook as EPUB, PDF or TXT
Most DRM-free ebooks already are. MOBI or AZW3 converts to EPUB in a minute with the free Calibre app.
Android app
Ebook to Audiobook App
Turn an ebook you own into an audiobook on your phone — chapters, a familiar player, and a different AI voice for every character.
Ebook in, audiobook out
Three steps, and only the first takes any thought.
Upload it to Lyraboo
Tap + and pick the file. The app splits it into chapters and casts a voice for every character.
Listen
The first chapter is ready in a minute or two. Chapters, speed and lock-screen controls work like any audiobook app.
Formats, plainly
- EPUB — the best choice for novels; chapters come through cleanly. See EPUB to audiobook.
- PDF — works when it has real text you can select. See PDF to audiobook app.
- TXT — works; chapter breaks are detected from headings in the text.
- MOBI, AZW3 — convert to EPUB with Calibre first, if the file is DRM-free.
Where DRM-free ebooks come from
Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks for classics, indie authors selling direct, Humble Bundle, and fanfiction and web-serial sites that export EPUB — AO3, Royal Road, ScribbleHub. You can also skip the hunt: over 1,000 English classics are already in the app.
Why convert instead of read aloud
Read-aloud features stream one voice over whatever is on screen. Converting gives you an audiobook: chapters, a player that resumes where you stopped, and a cast where every character sounds different — which is what makes a long novel comfortable to listen to.
Why listeners choose Lyraboo
The things people notice in the first chapter — and the reasons they stay.
Every character gets their own voice
Lyraboo’s AI finds every character in the book and casts a distinct voice for each — automatically, for every book. You always know who is speaking, and dialogue sounds like a real conversation instead of one narrator doing all the parts. Most reading and text-to-speech apps use one voice for everything.
The text follows along, like lyrics
Under the player, the book scrolls with the voice the way song lyrics do in Spotify: words light up as they are spoken, each line shows who says it, and tapping any word jumps there.
A player that feels like a music app
Chapters, speed from 0.25× to 3×, background playback with lock-screen controls, and it picks up exactly where you stopped.
Upload, and you are listening in minutes
Pick an EPUB, PDF or TXT and there is nothing to set up: the first chapter is ready in about one to two minutes, and the rest generate while you listen.
Any book you have, not just a catalogue
Novels, fanfiction and web-serial exports, indie ebooks, study PDFs — plus over 1,000 English classics already in the app.
Fair on cost
One free hour of listening every month, no card needed. Hours are spent once per chapter — replaying is always free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ebook formats work?
EPUB, PDF (with a text layer) and TXT work directly. MOBI and AZW3 files without DRM can be converted to EPUB with Calibre first.
Can I convert my Kindle or Apple Books purchases?
Usually not: books bought in those stores are protected with DRM, which Lyraboo cannot open. DRM-free ebooks — from many indie authors, Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Humble Bundle or fanfiction archives — work.
Do I get an MP3 file?
No. The audiobook plays inside the app. If you need a file, an online converter is the right tool.
How long does it take?
You do not wait for the whole book: the first chapter is ready in about one to two minutes and the rest generate while you listen.
