Private by design

Books live only in temporary server memory while you listen. We don't store them, we don't sell data, and there are no ads or trackers. Read our Privacy Policy and Copyright Disclaimer.

Questions

Do you keep my books?

No. Books are held in temporary memory while you listen and discarded when the session ends. Only your reading position and bookmarks are saved if you sign in.

Can I add any book?

You can add content you have the right to use, such as public-domain works, your own writing, study notes or documents you've been given permission to use. See the Copyright Disclaimer.

Why does a PDF say there is no text?

Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages, so they have no readable text layer. Use a text-based PDF or an EPUB.

Which languages are supported?

The app interface comes in 15 languages and voices are available in over 100 languages, depending on your device and the server voices installed.
