Ebook Voice Player

Product Name
Ebook Reader with Text-to-Speech


Tagline


Open multiple e-book formats, choose voices from multiple countries/regions, and listen anywhere.
Detailed Description


This is a Windows e-book reader with built-in text-to-speech (TTS). It opens common e-book formats such as EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, TXT, HTML, RTF, DOCX, and FB2, so you can manage and read books from different sources in one app.

Its core feature is listening: you can choose voices from different countries and regions, including English (US/UK/Australian), Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, and more. You can adjust speed, pitch, and volume. Playback supports pause, resume, fast forward/rewind, chapter navigation, sleep timer, and background play, making it ideal for commuting, exercising, doing chores, or resting.

The reading interface includes library management, bookmarks, notes, reading progress, font and theme adjustments. For language learners, it helps train listening and pronunciation by reading and listening at the same time. For visually impaired users or people with reading fatigue, it turns text into audio. The software can work offline, uses system TTS or local engines, and respects privacy by not uploading your books. It runs on Windows 10/11, is lightweight to install, and is suitable for indie distribution.

Available voices depend on the voices installed in your operating system or TTS engine.
