Orate: PDF to Audiobook AI

Import a PDF, EPUB, Word or text file — or photograph a printed page — and Orate turns it into an audiobook you can listen to anywhere.

Orate works on the documents you bring to it. It is not a shop or a catalogue: there are no published titles to browse.

IMPORT YOUR OWN FILES • PDF, DOCX, TXT and EPUB files • Photograph a printed page and OCR pulls the text out • Chapters detected automatically, so long documents stay navigable • Add as many books as you like — your shelf is never capped

READ FOR FREE • Paginated reader for every document you import, with chapter navigation • Reading is unlimited and costs nothing • Pick up where you left off

GIVE EVERY CHARACTER A VOICE • Orate finds the cast inside your book and assigns each character their own narrator • Swap any voice with a tap before you generate • Narrate one chapter at a time, so you only spend minutes on what you want to hear

NARRATORS THAT SOUND HUMAN • Studio voices in a range of English accents, clear and quick to generate • Humanlike voices for the books that deserve them • Clone your own voice from a short recording and let it read to you • Hear every voice before you pick it

MORE THAN NARRATION • No cover? Orate reads your book and designs one to match • Ask your book anything: summarise it, question it, or translate a chapter • Soft ambient sound — rain, a fire, a busy street — under the narration • Edit a passage before it is narrated

BUILT FOR LISTENING • Background playback with lock-screen controls • Adjustable playback speed, sleep timer, bookmarks • Download finished audio to your phone, or share it • Group chapters from any books into playlists and play them through

YOUR LIBRARY, ON ANY DEVICE • An account keeps your library and finished audio with you • No ads

WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS PAID Free: unlimited reading of everything you import, plus a short preview of each book in a premium voice — the book's own opening, so you can hear how it sounds before you decide.

Orate Premium (weekly, monthly or yearly) unlocks narration with an allowance measured in minutes that refreshes each billing period, along with AI covers and, on monthly and yearly plans, voice clones. Premium narration is metered rather than unlimited — neural voices cost real money to run, and we would rather say so plainly than surprise you.

Need more? Buy a one-time top-up of extra minutes. Top-up minutes never expire and are used automatically once your plan minutes run out. Humanlike voices draw from their own balance of minutes, bought separately, which never expires either.
