Listen to Questionable Questing Stories With Text-to-Speech

To listen to a Questionable Questing story, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and open the file in a reading app with text-to-speech.

Download the story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. It collects the threadmarked chapters from a Questionable Questing story thread and combines them into one book.

1. Open the Questionable Questing downloader.
2. Copy the address of the story thread. It should look like this:

https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/some-story-name.123456/

3. Paste the address into WP Downloader.
4. Choose EPUB as the output format.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the finished EPUB.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story for this site. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. If the author adds more chapters, paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download a new EPUB. WPD cannot update a file you have already downloaded.

You do not need to sign in for public stories. Signing in with your Questionable Questing account lets WP Downloader reach members-only stories that the account can already read. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested. WP Downloader cannot bypass account requirements, locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.

Listen on an iPhone or iPad

Apple Books opens EPUB files, and the Speak Screen accessibility feature can read the displayed page aloud.

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Accessibility.
3. Select Spoken Content.
4. Turn on Speak Screen.
5. Open the downloaded EPUB in Apple Books.
6. Swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen.

Speak Screen uses the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the narration will sound different depending on the voices available.

Listen on Android

Android has several options for reading an EPUB aloud.

Use Select to Speak

Open Settings, select Accessibility, and turn on Select to Speak. You can then tap items on the screen to hear them read aloud.

How you open the EPUB depends on your reading app. Select to Speak provides the text-to-speech controls built into the device.

Use Moon+ Reader

Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files and has a built-in text-to-speech mode. Open the EPUB from WP Downloader, then select the app’s read-aloud option.

Use @Voice Aloud Reader

@Voice Aloud Reader also reads EPUB files aloud. Open the downloaded story in the app and use its playback controls to start listening.

Both apps use the text-to-speech voices installed on your Android device, so their sound depends on the voices available.

Listen on Windows, macOS, or Linux

Thorium Reader and calibre can read EPUB files aloud on a computer.

Thorium Reader is free and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the Questionable Questing EPUB and use its read-aloud feature.

calibre is another free desktop option. Open or import the EPUB in calibre’s e-book viewer, then select Read aloud.

Both programs use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device.

Tips for listening

Download the story as an EPUB. WP Downloader can also create a PDF after a free Discord sign-in, but the apps covered here open EPUB files for text-to-speech.

Questionable Questing stories are forum threads, so threadmarks identify the chapters that belong in the story. WP Downloader gathers those threadmarked chapters into one book instead of treating every forum post as a chapter.

If you also use an e-reader, follow the guide for sending Questionable Questing stories to Kindle or reading Questionable Questing stories on Kobo.

Support for Questionable Questing and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
