Strophe: Ebook Reader & TTS

Strophe is an ebook reader and private text-to-speech app built natively for iOS. Read EPUBs, PDFs, web articles and pasted text, or listen with natural voices generated entirely on your device.

Start reading and continue by listening without ever losing your place. Strophe keeps reading and narration perfectly in sync, with word highlighting and automatic scrolling that follow along as you listen.

Start with up to 5 books. Unlimited listening. Web articles and pasted text are unlimited, with no daily narration limits.

Bring your own EPUBs and PDFs, or browse thousands of public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg directly inside Strophe. You can also save articles from Safari or social media apps, paste text from any source, or bring over your Instapaper library.

READ AND LISTEN

Read normally, then press play whenever you want. Listen in the background, from the Lock Screen, or with AirPods and other headphones.

Adjust playback from 0.5× to 3×, move between paragraphs, and fall asleep with timed, end-of-paragraph or end-of-chapter sleep timers.

THOUSANDS OF CLASSICS

Discover public-domain books from Project Gutenberg without leaving Strophe. Search the catalog, browse popular and newly added books, or explore genres including classics, science fiction, mystery, romance, biographies and more.

Add a book to your library and read or listen to it just like any other book in Strophe.

BUILT FOR iOS

Strophe is built natively for iOS for a fast, fluid reading and listening experience, with deep integration with the Lock Screen, AirPods, iCloud and system sharing.

NATURAL, PRIVATE TEXT TO SPEECH

Turn books, PDFs and articles into audio without uploading them to a narration service. Voices are generated directly on your device and work offline.

No Strophe account is required.

YOUR WHOLE READING LIBRARY

Keep EPUBs, PDFs, Project Gutenberg classics, web articles and pasted text together. Organize with collections, search by title or author, edit metadata, mark books as finished, and sort or filter your library however you like.

READ YOUR WAY

Customize fonts, text size, margins and spacing. Choose from light, sepia, dark and black themes, navigate chapters, search within books, and view images full screen.

FOCUS TYPOGRAPHY

Stay focused, scan text faster, and reduce reading fatigue with Focus Typography. It selectively emphasizes parts of words to help guide your eyes through text, and can be especially helpful for readers with ADHD and dyslexia.

HIGHLIGHT WHAT MATTERS

Highlight or underline passages, add notes, browse everything you’ve saved, and jump directly back to any passage.

BUILD A READING HABIT

Track reading and listening separately, set daily reading goals, build streaks, set an annual books-read goal, and see your progress over time.

FOCUS WITH SOUNDSCAPES

Add optional ambient environments while you read or listen. Adjust narration and ambience independently to create the atmosphere you want.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your books and articles aren’t uploaded to Strophe for narration. Imported content stays available offline, generated audio remains in a removable local cache, and iCloud can keep your library and reading data synchronized across your devices.
