Bring a book. Hear your story. Éist turns EPUBs and PDFs into audiobooks with natural AI voices on your device. Listen offline after downloading a voice, with no ads and no account required.

Your library stays on your device and works with no internet once a voice is downloaded. No ads, ever. READ ALONG AS YOU LISTEN Follow the text as you listen, in paragraph view or one word at a time. Read-along highlights the spoken words, and the timing control lets you adjust the pacing. Switch views while listening to find what works for you. YOUR AUDIOBOOK. YOUR NARRATION.
