Listen to books in your language, even when nobody recorded them

Audiobooks follow the biggest markets. In Czech, Polish, Dutch, Greek and dozens of other languages, the shelf is short. Drop the book you own and a native narrator reads it, in any of 42 languages.

Why smaller languages get fewer audiobooks

A studio audiobook costs about the same to make in Czech as in English, but sells to a fraction of the listeners. So local publishers record a few bestsellers, and translations of international hits often come out in print with no audio at all.

Native narrators in 42 languages

•
265 narrators across 42 languages, from Czech and Polish to Dutch, Greek, Swedish and many more.
•
The narrator’s language follows the book, so a Czech novel is read by a Czech voice.
•
Chapters, read-along text, speed and your place synced between devices, in every language.

Questions people ask

Is it free in my language?

English books use Standard voices, unlimited and free. Every other language is read by Premium voices: you get 10 minutes free to try, then a plan (Listener $4.99/month for 3 hours, Premium $14.99 for 15 hours, Ultra $49.99 unlimited).

Which languages are available?

42 languages, listed on the Languages page with a sample of each.

Can I download the audiobook?

Yes. A book in your language is narrated with Premium voices, from your plan’s Premium hours, and you get one file with chapters and cover to play anywhere.

Does it handle my language’s characters and accents?

Yes. Files in any script are read as written, as long as the file contains real text rather than page images.
