I like to listen to audiobooks while I'm doing other things like walking, cleaning, or working on a project. I have a
lot on my shelf but many of them don't have audiobook copies to listen to. There are other image-scan / TTS
apps out there, but they usually either have low-quality voices and narration or, like Speechify, are
high-quality, feature-rich, and require an expensive up-front annual subscription.
I decided that building my own TTS book scanner would provide me the functionality I wanted for much cheaper, give me control over the
features it contains, and provide an opportunity for another AI-integrated coding project.
So I build Leafcast: an app that lets you scan books you already own, generate high-quality narrations with
voices from Inworld, easily manage and organize your books and library, and even listen to some freely available
audiobook classics.
