Evie is a powerful and free text-to-speech (TTS) app that transforms written books and documents into natural-sounding audio. Designed to give your eyes a rest, Evie lets you enjoy your favorite reads hands-free—whether commuting, working out, or winding down to sleep. With no ads, no invasive permissions, and support for multiple file types, Evie is a trustworthy app for book lovers who want to listen instead of read.
Hands-Free Audio Playback
Evie reads your books aloud even with the screen turned off or running in the background. Control playback easily using your wired or Bluetooth earphones, car stereo buttons, or directly from your phone’s lock screen or notification panel. The integrated equalizer lets you fine-tune the audio to your liking for a comfortable listening experience.
Wide Format Support
Evie supports a broad range of file formats including ePub (DRM free), PDF (unencrypted), MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, DOCX, RTF, HTML, and TEXT documents. It also features advanced text reflow for comfortable PDF reading on small devices and robust library management so you can organize and access your books seamlessly.
Privacy and Security You Can Trust
Unlike many apps, Evie requires no unnecessary permissions. It never accesses your contacts, files, or stores cookies, ensuring your privacy is respected and maintained.
Premium Amazon Voices
For a more lifelike narration, Evie integrates with Amazon Polly, a cutting-edge TTS cloud service offering human-like voices. This paid feature requires an Evie account and is offered on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis.
Translation
Evie also supports on-the-fly translation of sentences in over 70 languages using Amazon’s Neural translation engine. You can listen to translations or use Evie’s language learning mode, which repeats sentences for better memorization and practice.
Customizable Listening Experience
Adjust speech speed, control pauses at punctuation, and let Evie automatically switch voices based on the language of your book. The sleep timer allows you to set when playback should stop, ideal for listening before sleep. Evie precisely calculates the remaining time for each chapter and the entire book to keep you informed.
