Import from anywhere
Add a web novel by URL or open a PDF or EPUB, your library, your way.
Features
Everything built around one idea:
Import from anywhere, listen hands-free for hours, and never lose your place. Here’s exactly what ReadLume does.
Feature highlights
Hands-free listening
Background playback, chapter auto-advance, lock-screen controls.
Narrator Pro voices
Lifelike neural narration with speed, pitch and voice control.
Never lose your place
Synced web-novel progress + word-level read-along highlight.
The wedge
Background audio that auto-advances chapters
Most apps stop at the end of a chapter. ReadLume pre-loads the next one and keeps playing in the background, screen off, app closed, without lifting a finger.
- Seamless chapter-to-chapter playback
- Full lock-screen & headphone controls
- Built to survive aggressive battery savers
Your library
Import from anywhere, web novels or PDFs
Paste a web-novel link and ReadLume pulls in the chapters, or open a PDF or EPUB you already own. Everything lands in one library that remembers exactly where you stopped.
Starting a new novel or jumping back into one, the move is the same: copy a chapter link and paste it in. Begin at chapter one for the full series, or drop in at your current chapter to carry on, with zero ads either way.
ReadLume works with free web novels only. Paywalled or subscription-gated content, like Wattpad or WebNovel's locked chapters, cannot be imported. Free sources like freewebnovel.com and novelfull.com work well.
