Features

Made for people who love ideas.

Everything you need to actually absorb a book, not just skim it.

One narrator or two hosts

Get a calm single-narrator walkthrough, or a lively conversation that explains, questions and debates the ideas.

Four languages, no slang

Natural English, Arabic, Spanish and French in a neutral register anyone can follow, not tied to one country's dialect.

Any length you have

15 minutes for a commute, 30 or 60 for a walk, or a full two-hour deep dive for the books that deserve it.

Ask the book

Curious about a character or an argument? Ask a question and get an answer in your language.

Takeaways and quote cards

Every episode comes with key takeaways and a beautiful quote card, ready to share.

Hear it in your own voice

Record a short sample and have books read to you by you. Add soft background sound, or switch on driving mode and offline downloads.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is Earshelf free?

Earshelf is in private beta and free to try. We'll announce pricing before we charge anyone.

Is this the actual audiobook?

No. Earshelf creates an original, AI-generated summary and discussion of a book's ideas. It doesn't read out the book's text, and it's a companion to reading, not a replacement for it.

Which languages are supported?

English, Arabic, Spanish and French today, each with a choice of voices. More languages are planned.

When can I try it?

We're inviting people from the waitlist in small groups. Join below and we'll email you when your invite is ready.

What phones does it work on?

iPhone and Android. Store versions are coming soon, and your invite will include simple setup steps for the beta.
