LibriVox is a digital library of free public-domain audiobooks, offering a vast collection of literary works in various languages. Volunteers from around the world record audiobook versions of public domain texts, which are then made available for free on the LibriVox website and other platforms. Users can browse the catalogue by language or genre, search for specific titles or authors, and download audiobooks to listen to offline. As a crowdsourcing project, LibriVox relies on volunteer contributions for its content and operations, and its codebase is freely available for anyone to access, modify, and contribute to on platforms like GitHub. Users do not need to sign up or have an account to access and download audiobooks from LibriVox.
Bewertung: Librivox’s interface is intuitive and easy to use. It allows listening to recorded audiobooks and downloading them. The accent and delivery vary, as those who record themselves are volunteers. In some languages, especially English, many recordings are available, while other languages feature just a handful.
Kosten: Free.
