Everything in the box
Six reasons your EPUB wants a voice
- Commuting. Turn dead miles into chapters. Listen in the car, on the bus, or walking to work.
- Accessibility. Make any book accessible. Visual impairments, dyslexia, reading fatigue — audio fixes all three.
- Multitask. Cook dinner and finish a novel. Clean the house and learn something new. Audio frees your hands.
- Language learning. Hear native pronunciation in 57 languages. Follow along with the text to build fluency faster.
- No audiobook exists. Most books never get a pro narrator. AI fills the gap in minutes, not months.
- Eye strain relief. Screens all day at work. Give your eyes a break and let your ears take over for the commute home.
Every character gets a voice. Literally.
This is the part that changes everything. Most EPUB readers use one flat voice for the whole book. Notevibes reads the text, finds the dialogue, and figures out who is speaking.
Then it lets you cast the book. Pick a deep baritone for the detective. A warm alto for the protagonist. A crisp British accent for the butler. When the narrator speaks, one voice. When a character talks, their voice takes over. It sounds less like a robot reading a file and more like a performance.
Dialogue detection
AI scans your EPUB for quotation marks, speech tags, and attribution. It knows who said what.
Character identification
Named characters are grouped automatically. You see a list of every speaker in the book.
Voice casting
Assign any voice to any character. Preview the pairing, adjust, and lock it in before generating.
550+ voices. 57 languages. One upload.

Multi-voice narration

| Cooking or chores | Hands busy | Perfect -- hands free |

Questions?
How do I read an EPUB aloud online?

Is it free to have my EPUB read aloud?

How long does it take to read a full EPUB aloud?

Can AI assign different voices to characters?

What audio quality will I get?
Audio is generated at high-quality MP3 (48kHz). Voices are powered by neural TTS engines from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
Does it work with DRM-protected EPUBs?

Yes. All paid plans include full commercial usage rights. Distribute, sell, or publish your audiobooks on Audible, Google Play, or your own website.
What if my book is a PDF, not an EPUB?
Notevibes also reads PDFs aloud. For best results, EPUB is preferred because it keeps chapter structure and clean text. But PDF works too.

Yes. Download the MP3 files and play them in any audio app. Or listen directly in your browser on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop.
