About Folio: Audiobooks & Novels
Turn any book into an audiobook. No internet needed. Folio narrates 50,000+ classic novels in natural AI voices — entirely on your device. No streaming, no account, no subscription. Download once, listen anywhere. WHY FOLIO Most audiobook apps need a connection and a monthly fee. Folio runs its AI narration engine directly on your phone. On a plane, on the metro, in a village with no signal — it works the same. READ OR LISTEN. OR BOTH. Follow along with word-by-word highlighting as the narrator reads, or put your phone away and just listen. Switch between them whenever you like — your place is always saved. VOICES THAT SOUND HUMAN Choose from multiple AI narrators with distinct character and tone. Folio even detects dialogue automatically and gives different characters their own voices, like a full-cast recording. AMBIENCE WHILE YOU READ Layer in rain, café, ocean, or forest sounds. Built for people who need a little atmosphere to stay in the story. 50,000+ BOOKS INCLUDED Every classic from Project Gutenberg, ready to download: Sherlock Holmes · Pride and Prejudice · Dracula · Frankenstein · Jane Eyre · Moby Dick · Crime and Punishment · The Great Gatsby · Alice in Wonderland · Treasure Island · The Picture of Dorian Gray · Wuthering Heights · The Count of Monte Cristo · Anna Karenina · The Time Machine · Peter Pan · The Odyssey · Don Quixote · Meditations · The Art of War Bring your own EPUBs too — import anything from your files.
