Free Arabic Audiobooks from Your PDFs

Turn the Arabic books you already have into audiobooks, read by natural voices in formal Arabic or your dialect, chapter by chapter.

Build your own Arabic audio library

Only a small share of Arabic books exist as audiobooks. Hakawati AI lets you turn the PDF and ePub books you already own into audio: upload the file, choose a voice, and listen on your commute, at the gym or before sleep.

The book is split into chapters automatically, and the reader skips what is not meant to be read aloud, such as page numbers, headers, footnote marks and publisher pages.

Scanned books work too

Many Arabic books circulate as scanned images rather than text. The site reads scanned pages with AI and turns them into clean text before narrating them, so older and out-of-print books can be heard as well.

Free audio book summaries

Short on time? The site also offers free fifteen-minute audio summaries of well-known books in clear formal Arabic, which you can play, read or download.

Pick the right voice for each book

Formal Arabic suits thought, history and religious books; a warm storytelling voice suits novels; and a local dialect makes lighter content feel closer to home.
