What files does Narratr support?
Narratr currently supports EPUB and plain-text TXT files: the kinds of readable book files you own or have permission to use.
Supported now
| Format | Supported? | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
EPUB (.epub) | Yes | EPUB ebooks with chapters and structure | Works best when the file is DRM-free and readable. |
Plain text (.txt) | Yes | Public-domain books, exported text, manuscripts, notes | Formatting is simpler, but the import path is clean. |
Not supported as public claims
| File or source | Current public claim | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Not supported right now | PDFs vary heavily and are not an approved Narratr import claim. | |
| DOC / DOCX | Not supported right now | Public claims stay focused on EPUB and TXT. |
| Kindle / AZW / MOBI | Not supported as direct import | Narratr should not imply Kindle-library import or locked-file compatibility. |
| Audible / Apple Books libraries | Not supported as direct import | Narratr is not a catalogue or library connector. |
| DRM-protected ebooks | Not supported | Narratr is for files you own or have permission to use. |
What “supported” means
A supported file is specifically an EPUB or plain-text file that Narratr can import from your device, read as text, and turn into speech. You still need the right to use the file. Unsupported or DRM-protected files may fail, and Narratr does not provide DRM-removal instructions.
EPUB or TXT?
Choose EPUB
If you have a normal ebook file with chapters, structure, and book metadata. Start with the EPUB to audiobook guide.
Choose TXT
If you have a plain text file, public-domain text, notes, or a manuscript export. Start with the TXT to audiobook guide.
Privacy note for cloud voices
Your imported books stay on your device as full files. If you use cloud AI voices, Narratr sends only the text needed for the current narration request to its TTS providers to generate audio. See the Privacy Policy for the full version.
