ہر لفظ، آواز کے ساتھ ساتھ

As the narrator reads, each word lights up on the page and the text scrolls with the voice. Look away, listen for a while, and find your place again at a glance.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.

The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame

FAQ

Questions, answered.

آپ کے سوالات کے جوابات

Which file formats are supported?

PDF, EPUB and TXT (PDF and EPUB need a free account). AudioBook finds the chapters automatically, from the book's table of contents when it has one. Scanned, image-only or password-protected PDFs can't be narrated.

Can I listen to English books in Urdu?

Yes. Translate an English book into Urdu in the app, then listen with a premium Urdu voice. Translation runs in the background, shows its progress, and resumes if it's interrupted. You'll need a free account.

How does word highlighting work?

As a book is read aloud, the word being spoken is highlighted and the page scrolls along with the voice. Tap or long-press any word and choose "Listen from here" to start from that point.

What's the difference between premium and device voices?

Premium cloud voices are our most natural English and Urdu AI voices, with precise word timing and previews. Device voices use your phone's built-in speech engine: they're free, in English, highlight as they speak, and let you change speed from 0.5x to 2x. Urdu narration uses premium Urdu voices.

Do device voices use listening minutes?

No. Device voices never use premium listening minutes.

How do premium listening minutes work?

Minutes are used only when premium audio is created for you, and only once per chapter. Listening again is free while you're subscribed. Each plan has separate English and Urdu allowances, and they reset on the 1st of each month (UTC).

Can I listen to a chapter again?

Yes. Once premium audio has been created for a chapter, listening to it again doesn't use more minutes while you're subscribed.

How does subscription cancellation work?

Subscriptions are managed by Google Play. In AudioBook, open Profile and tap "Manage subscription", or go to your subscriptions in Google Play, and cancel there.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. In the app, go to Profile → Delete account.

How does pronunciation reporting work?

If an Urdu voice says a word wrongly, long-press the word and choose "Report pronunciation". This is available for Urdu books on a premium voice when you're signed in. Only this word and sentence are sent. They are deleted within 90 days.
