About this app

BookNPC is an audiobook maker. Listen to a growing library of ready-made audiobooks for free, and turn your own eBooks into full-cast audiobooks where every character has its own voice.

A GROWING FREE LIBRARY
Sign in for free and start listening. Discover has a growing library of ready-made audiobooks, some with a full cast, and new titles arrive every day. Listening time for these books is free and refills every day, and a short ad adds more.

TURN YOUR BOOKS INTO AUDIOBOOKS
Import your EPUB, Kindle (MOBI, AZW), TXT, or FB2 files and turn them into audiobooks with text-to-speech. Make a full-cast audiobook, where AI works out who is speaking and gives each character its own voice, or have the book read aloud in a single narrator voice.

300+ CLOUD VOICES
Cast a book in the cloud with more than 300 high-quality AI voices, in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian. AI gives each character a voice that fits their gender and age. You can also play a full cast or a single narrator on your device, with the voices already on your phone.

READ IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE
Translate a book as you listen, powered by our AI models, and match the voices to the language you are reading in.

PRICING
The Discover library is free to listen to. On your own books, a single narrator in the book's own language plays free on your device, offline. Full cast and translation use AI to read each page, and cloud voices are made on our servers. Those are paid with credits (G), bought in one-time packs that never expire, and new accounts start with 2 G. Before a cloud cast starts, you see what it will cost and can pick the page it starts from. An optional Ad-free subscription, monthly or yearly, removes ads and the daily listening limit on Discover books.

PERFECT FOR
People who would rather listen than read
Readers who want a theater-like, multi-voice audiobook
Anyone who wants an audiobook of a book they already own

Ratings and reviews

I use it to listen to Japanese books, full cast mode analyzes the charecters and assigns them within an accuracy of 80%. I even tried to make my own python assigner, and could not get it to this level of accuracy. I'm not sure how others who review it are unable to use full cast mode. It works great for me. Also emailing support was quick and they were very fast in implementing fixes to issues I had regarding formatting of certain Japanese specific problems.

While it downloads and opens fine, when I try to use Full Cast mode, none of the voices work. I even purchased credits and after allowing it to analyze the pages, still does not allow me to use the AI voices. I tried to find help on the app but none was there.

marketed as completely free but it uses credits you have to pay for in order to use the actual features of the app
