Text-to-speech · EPUB

Have your EPUBs read aloud.

Fablum reads EPUB books in the voices already on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. The sentence being read is highlighted and the current word is underlined, so you can follow on the page or look away and find your place again.

Fablum reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland aloud on iPhone, with the sentence being spoken highlighted in yellow

Pause, skip, change the speed.

While Fablum reads, the bar under the page holds previous sentence, play or pause, and next sentence. The speed button steps from 0.5× to 2×, and the settings sheet has a finer slider and the voice list, each voice shown with its language. Your speed and voice are kept for next time. Switch read-aloud off and back on and it carries on from the last sentence it read, or from the page you have turned to since.

1 Text-to-speech is for EPUB books. PDFs are not read aloud.

2 Fablum uses your device’s own speech engine, so it needs the voice for the book’s language. If that voice is missing, Fablum tells you.
