Check this looks right before sending it anywhere for narration.
Open an EPUB to review and edit it before sending it to Wombat Narrates. Remove anything you do not want read aloud, save your changes, then click 🎧 Continue in the reader toolbar to send it to Wombat Narrates. You can prepare an EPUB from anywhere, not only one converted here.
Selected: No EPUB selected yet.
Your converted and prepared EPUBs are kept here. View the original PDF, open an EPUB to read or edit it, or continue it to Wombat Narrates. You can remove an EPUB while keeping its original source, or delete both.
Pick a PDF and hit Convert. Real layout-aware extraction (not a naive text dump) finds actual chapter headings, strips running page headers/footers, footnote markers, and in-text citations - a References/Bibliography section is kept in the epub (useful for a real reader) but tagged so a narration app can skip reading it aloud.
Plain .txt files work too - chapters are found from title-style heading lines in the text itself (e.g. an all-caps story title on its own line). No page-header/footnote/ citation cleanup runs on .txt input, since that's tuned specifically for PDF extraction artifacts.
Both PDFs and .txt files can be messy - real conversions have found real bugs before. Once a conversion finishes, its actual chapter list shows here so you can sanity-check it before sending the epub anywhere for a long, expensive audiobook conversion.
Not supported yet - natural-text, single-column PDFs only for now. Both are real planned additions, not abandoned.
The Prepare audiobook tab opens any EPUB in the built-in editor. Review the chapters, remove material you do not want narrated, save, then continue straight to Wombat Narrates. It works for an EPUB from anywhere, not only ones made here.
