Coming soon to iOS & Android
Your books, read aloud locally.
Seya is an offline ebook reader with natural narration built in. Import the EPUB, PDF, TXT or Markdown files you already own, and listen — on a plane, on a walk, with the screen off. Nothing you read leaves your device.
What it does
- Reads the books you already have. Import DRM-free EPUB, PDF, TXT and Markdown files from your own device. No bookstore, no subscription to a library, no account.
- Narrates them on-device. A neural voice model is bundled in the app, so narration works with no network and no per-book fees.
- Keeps playing with the screen off. Lock-screen controls, sleep timer, and background playback.
- Stays out of your way. Theme, font size, line spacing, narration speed and voice — set once, remembered.
Private by default
- Your books, your place in them, and the audio made from them stay on your device.
- No sign-up. Seya never asks for your name, email address, or phone number.
- Analytics and crash reporting are off until you switch them on.
- Reading and listening work fully offline — no server involved.

Free, with an optional upgrade
The free version reads and narrates with the built-in free voices, supported by ads. Seya Plus unlocks the premium neural voices and removes banners — priced as a subscription, or as a short one-off pass if you just want it for a trip.
Everything you need to read works without paying, and everything keeps working offline.
