Aeneas
Create synchronized multimedia ebooks, produce audio-driven content, and integrate into existing workflows.
What is Aeneas?
Aeneas is a tool for creating ebooks that combine text, audio, and other multimedia elements in synchronised formats. It's designed for publishers, authors, and content creators who want to produce audio-driven publications without building from scratch. The tool handles the technical work of matching audio to text, managing timing, and packaging everything into a format that works across different reading platforms. It integrates into existing publishing workflows rather than requiring you to start over, which makes it useful for teams already producing traditional ebooks or audiobooks who want to offer a hybrid product.
