How to Listen to Occlumency Stories With Text-to-Speech
To listen to an Occlumency story, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and open the file in a reading app with text-to-speech support.
Download the Occlumency story
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. Go to the Occlumency downloader and copy the address of the story you want to hear.
An Occlumency story link looks like this:
http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Paste the link into WP Downloader. The tool will detect that it comes from Occlumency and download the whole story. Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and opens in the reading apps covered below.
You can choose whether to include the story’s images. For Occlumency, WP Downloader downloads complete stories rather than individual chapters or story lists.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with your Occlumency account. WP Downloader will use your credentials only to fetch the story you requested, and it can download only the content your account is allowed to read. It does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
For more help with downloading, see the Occlumency download guide.
Listen on an iPhone or iPad
Apple Books opens EPUB files, and the Speak Screen accessibility feature can read the displayed text aloud.
In Settings, open Accessibility, then Spoken Content, and turn on Speak Screen. Open the downloaded EPUB in Apple Books and go to the part of the story where you want to start.
Swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen. Speak Screen will read the page using one of the text-to-speech voices installed on your device.
If the gesture does not work, check the Spoken Content settings to make sure Speak Screen is turned on.
Listen on Android
Android has several options for reading an Occlumency EPUB aloud.
Use Select to Speak
Open Accessibility in your device’s settings and turn on Select to Speak. Then open the story and use the Select to Speak control to tap the items you want Android to read.
The location of the accessibility settings varies by device, but the feature is called Select to Speak.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files and has a built-in text-to-speech mode. Open the downloaded Occlumency EPUB in the app and start its read-aloud mode.
Use @Voice Aloud Reader
@Voice Aloud Reader can also read EPUB files aloud on Android. Open or import the EPUB from WP Downloader, then use the app’s controls to start listening.
Listen on Windows, macOS, or Linux
You can listen from a computer with Thorium Reader or calibre.
Use Thorium Reader
Thorium Reader is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Add the downloaded EPUB to the reader, open it, and start the read-aloud feature from the reader controls.
Use calibre
calibre is a free desktop application with an e-book viewer. Open the EPUB in the viewer and select its Read aloud feature.
Improve the text-to-speech voice
These options use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device. How natural the narration sounds depends on the voices available in your phone, tablet, or computer settings.
If an unfinished story gains new chapters, download it again. WP Downloader creates a new EPUB instead of adding chapters to the existing file, so you will need to replace the earlier copy in your reading app.
You can also send Occlumency stories to Kindle or read Occlumency stories on Kobo.
