StoryHeart

An audiobook player for Windows, made for listening with a keyboard and a screen reader.

Coming soon

StoryHeart keeps a library of your audiobooks and remembers where you stopped in each one. Every action has a keyboard shortcut, it tells you what happened after everything you do, and its lists and sliders make sense when they're read aloud. It works with NVDA, JAWS and Narrator.

What it does

• Remembers your place in every book, along with your bookmarks and how fast and loud you like each one.
• Plays from half speed to three times as fast, and the narrator's voice stays at its normal pitch.
• Finds the chapters in .m4b audiobooks, and handles books that come as a folder of parts.
• Shows each book's title, author and narrator, read from the files themselves.
• Makes quiet recordings louder, and works with your keyboard's media keys.
• Keeps itself up to date, downloading new versions while you listen.

When can I get it?

StoryHeart is being tested now. The first version for everyone, 1.0, will be here when it's ready, along with the full website, the manual and downloads.

It's free, and it doesn't collect anything about you.

StoryHeart is being built in the open. You can follow along on GitHub.
