How it works
SublimeRead reads your book aloud on its original pages. Nothing is reformatted, and the current sentence is highlighted as it's read.
Upload a book you own
EPUB or PDF. SublimeRead keeps every chapter, footnote, and line break exactly as the publisher set it.
Pick a voice that fits the book
Choose a voice, then set the speed and volume in the audio bar.
Follow along on the page
The sentence being read is highlighted on the original page at every speed. Read along or just listen.
Voices that sound like a person reading to you
Choose a natural AI voice for each book and set the speed you like.
Natural-sounding narration
AI narration in your book's language that sounds like a person reading, not a flat text-to-speech voice.
Several voices per language
Choose the voice that suits each book and switch at any time from the audio bar.
