How ElevenReader works

You upload a file or pick a title, choose a voice, and the app renders the text as speech using ElevenLabs' v4 voice technology, designed to give natural emphasis and pacing. Progress, bookmarks and downloads sync across the web, iOS and Android apps, so you can switch devices mid-chapter.

Who uses ElevenReader?
