Narrator

Export to m4a is the detail that sets Narrator apart: you can turn a book into an audio file and play it outside the app, on whatever device you already use.

Narrator is an AI text-to-speech reader that converts eBooks in epub, pdf, txt, rtf and docx format into audio with natural sounding voices, in multiple languages.

The app also lets you create and listen to book summaries, which is handy when you want a quick pass through a title before you commit to the whole thing.

That covers most of the file types people tend to have on hand, so you do not need to convert anything first.

Narrator may need a good internet connection to perform well, so a weak signal could make listening frustrating.

Results also depend on your source file.

A badly formatted pdf or a scan with errors will likely sound rougher than a clean epub.

It fits people who keep much of their reading as files and would rather listen, but try it on your own documents first.
