Prefer a different voice — or your own copy?
AllReads reads a copy you already own aloud — EPUB, PDF or plain text — in a natural AI voice, lighting each word as it is spoken and remembering where you stopped. That is about 10h 40m of listening. The voices run on your own OpenAI or xAI key, so narration is billed at cost instead of a subscription.
