Obook turns PDFs, ebooks and classics into natural-sounding audiobooks. Unlike basic text-to-speech readers, Obook first uses AI to clean the text (skipping headers, page numbers and footnotes) and splits it into real chapters, so you hear the book, not the page layout. Choose from 32 narrators across 20+ languages and follow along with word-by-word highlighting synced to the audio. Built and run on our own GPU voice pipeline by a solo founder.
