Why Chitneek
Chitneek is designed to make your content accessible. Using your device's built-in text-to-speech, it reads your books and notes aloud so you can keep moving and stay productive.
Import your own PDFs, MP3s, and ePUBs to listen on the go. Once downloaded, your files are available for offline listening — perfect for flights or commutes.
Powered by Apple's built-in text-to-speech engine, Chitneek reads your documents aloud with natural-sounding voices. Now includes high-quality offline voices for Polish, English, German, and French in the paid plan.
Don't read alone. Create shared groups to build a common library with friends, family, or study partners. Everyone contributes, everyone listens.
Use the in-app browser to find and download PDFs or ePUBs from your favorite online sources directly into the app. Browse, tap, listen.
Features
Customizable playback, bookmarks, and a built-in sleep timer keep narration comfortable on every drive, walk, or focus session.
Capture documents in the format that works best for you. Build a personal listening queue from your own files, the web, or even YouTube.
Use your camera to scan physical pages or record audio notes to save for later. Turn anything into listenable content.
Seamlessly browse audiobook and text catalogs directly within the app. Find free content from online libraries and add it to your collection in one tap.
Whether you're listening to MP3s and MP4s or having your text books read aloud using TTS, Chitneek offers a fine-tuned playback experience crafted for both types of content.
