Hey, I'm Andreas, and I'm a software engineer from Sweden. I recently built Earleaf, an audiobook player for Android, as my first Android app. The standout feature is Page Sync: photograph a book page and it finds that spot in the audio using on-device speech recognition and OCR. Launching on Product Hunt tomorrow!
Feel free to read more on the blog or check the app out on Google Play!
I'm launching Earleaf tomorrow an audiobook player for Android built for local files. The feature I'm most excited about is Page Sync: you take a picture of a page from your physical book (or e-book) and the app jumps to that position in the audio. Wrote up how it works under the hood here: https://earleaf.app/blog/a-deep-...
Take a picture of a page from your physical book (or e-book) and Earleaf finds that position in the audiobook. On-device speech recognition and OCR, nothing leaves your phone.
Built for people with their own audiobook files. Nested collections, per-book playback speed, listen-through tracking, and local statistics. Supports a wide variety of file formats.
One-time purchase. No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking.
