Is there something like this for epubs or pdfs with a truly high-quality TTS?

All apps that I know of use iOS internal TTS (sounds awful, not as good as Siri). Then is also Voice Dream Reader and even with the paid premium voices it is still not pleasant to listen to. Siri-grade TTS or Elevenlabs would be pleasant enough, though.

Check out Speechify and NaturalReader, IIRC they’re two of the most popular apps for that use case and I remember their voices were pretty solid.

Apple's own https://authors.apple.com/support/4519-digital-narration-aud...

of course you can't generate audio for books purchased elsewhere because apple

Narakeet can read EPUB and a bunch of other formats using realistic TTS - see https://www.narakeet.com/create/text-to-voice-audiobooks.htm...

I worked on something like this if you'd like to give it a try! https://oration.app

I built this for myself, the main bottleneck is TTS prices are too high for an entire book, and open source ones aren't good enough yet.

I'm almost finished building this, stay tuned.
