Frequently Asked Questions About EpubTidy
Learn why readers choose EpubTidy over Speechify and traditional e-readers.
Can I listen to books offline with zero Wi-Fi or cellular service?▼
Yes! That is one of EpubTidy’s greatest strengths. Unlike cloud-based TTS readers that stop working the second you lose cell coverage, EpubTidy runs its Neural Speech AI (including models like Kokoro-82M) directly on your device’s Apple Neural Engine. It functions 100% offline, whether you are camping deep in the woods, fishing off-grid, on an airplane flight, or commuting underground.
Why is EpubTidy a better alternative to Speechify for EPUB books?▼
Speechify requires an expensive subscription ($139+ per year) and constantly streams audio from cloud servers, which rapidly drains your battery, consumes gigabytes of cellular data, and uploads your private reading material to their servers. In contrast, EpubTidy is completely private, local-first, requires zero subscriptions, works with zero internet, and includes comprehensive EPUB editing, cover enhancement, and formatting repair tools that Speechify does not offer.
How expressive and natural are the AI voices?▼
EpubTidy does not use the robotic, flat text-to-speech voices common in older apps. Our integrated neural voice models are trained on rich human speech patterns, incorporating natural breath pauses, dialogue rhythm, emotional inflection, and punctuation nuances for an immersive listening experience you can enjoy for hours without fatigue.
Is EpubTidy also a full visual e-reader?▼
Yes. While listed as an editor and repair utility, EpubTidy embeds a complete W3C-compliant Readium 2 rendering engine. You can read visually with customizable typography, four curated reading themes (Paper, Warm Light, Sepia, and OLED Night), font scaling, line height, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and multi-level Table of Contents navigation.
Does EpubTidy support Calibre series numbering and metadata?▼
Yes. EpubTidy fully supports Dublin Core metadata (dc:title, dc:creator, dc:description, dc:date, dc:identifier) as well as Calibre series conventions (calibre:series, calibre:series_index) and EPUB 3 collections. When exported, your books maintain perfect series order in Apple Books and e-readers.
Are my book files and reading history kept private?▼
100% private. We operate zero cloud servers that store your book library. All parsing, AI voice synthesis, and editing happen locally inside your iOS sandbox. We do not include third-party tracking or advertising SDKs.
