How to listen to Midnight Whispers stories with text to speech
To listen to a Midnight Whispers story, download it as an EPUB, open the file in a compatible reading app, and use the app or device’s read-aloud feature. WP Downloader creates the EPUB for free, and you do not need a Midnight Whispers account.
Download the Midnight Whispers story
Open the Midnight Whispers Downloader and paste the story link into the box. It will usually look like this:
https://www.midnightwhispers.net/viewstory.php?sid=1234WP Downloader supports links from midnightwhispers.net and midnightwhispers.ca. It downloads the whole story, not an individual chapter or a list.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works with the reading apps below. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.
Save the finished EPUB to your device. If the story gains new chapters later, download it again from WP Downloader. The tool cannot add chapters to an EPUB you already have.
See the Midnight Whispers download guide for more help with downloading a story.
Listen on an iPhone or iPad
Apple Books opens EPUB files, and the Speak Screen feature on iPhones and iPads can read them aloud.
Turn on Speak Screen
- Open Settings.
- Go to Accessibility.
- Select Spoken Content.
- Turn on Speak Screen.
Open the downloaded EPUB in Apple Books and go to the part you want to hear. Swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to start Speak Screen.
Speak Screen uses the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the voice you have installed affects how natural the narration sounds.
Listen on Android
You can use Android’s Select to Speak feature or an EPUB reader with its own read-aloud mode.
Use Select to Speak
Turn on Select to Speak under Settings and Accessibility. Once enabled, it lets you tap items on the screen to hear them read aloud.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files and has a built-in text-to-speech mode. Open your Midnight Whispers EPUB in the app and use the read-aloud option to listen.
Use @Voice Aloud Reader
@Voice Aloud Reader can also read EPUB files aloud. Open the downloaded EPUB in the app and start listening from the story text.
These tools use the text-to-speech voices installed on your Android device, so your chosen voice affects the narration.
Listen on Windows, macOS, or Linux
Thorium Reader and calibre are free desktop programs that open EPUB files.
Use Thorium Reader
Thorium Reader is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the EPUB from WP Downloader, go to your starting point, and use the read-aloud feature.
Use calibre
calibre has an e-book viewer with a Read aloud feature. Add or open the EPUB in calibre, launch it in the e-book viewer, and select Read aloud.
Both programs use the text-to-speech voices installed on your computer. The available voice determines how natural the story sounds.
Tips for listening
