Questions

Which files can I upload?
EPUB, Word (.docx), FB2, Markdown, HTML and plain text. Chapters come from the book's table of contents or its headings. Kindle files (MOBI, AZW3) and PDF are not supported yet: convert a DRM-free copy to EPUB with Calibre first.
Can I hear the voice before I pay?
Yes. After you drop a file, press Listen next to any voice. It reads the first lines of your own book, free.
What do I get?
An M4B audiobook file with a chapter mark for every chapter you ticked, the cover and the title. Very long books are split into files of about 15 hours each. You download it from your book's page, and we email you the link.
Which apps play M4B?
Audiobookshelf, BookPlayer and Smart AudioBook Player read the chapters. So do Apple Books on Mac, VLC and most podcast and audiobook players.
How much does it cost?
One price per book, set by its length: $1.99 up to 4 hours, $3.99 up to 12 hours, $5.99 up to 24 hours and $8.99 up to 48 hours. No subscription and no account.
Is the voice a real person?
No. Pagetape uses Kokoro-82M, an open AI voice model. It reads clearly and naturally, but it is a synthetic voice.
Can I convert books with DRM?
No. Pagetape only reads DRM-free files, and you should only convert books you have the right to use, such as your own writing, public-domain books from Project Gutenberg or Standard Ebooks, and DRM-free purchases.
What happens to my file?
Your file is read in your browser. When you convert, only the text of the chapters you ticked is sent to us. The text and the finished audiobook are deleted automatically after 30 days.
What if the conversion fails?
If we cannot finish your audiobook, we refund the payment in full automatically and email you.
