Kitab Sawti is the world’s largest Arabic audiobooks library. Through a user-friendly smart-phone app, we grant Arabic speakers access to bestselling and award-winning titles in an audio format. With their headphones on, our users are able to travel to a parallel universe; in a moment of entertainment, acquiring knowledge at only one finger-press away. We believe in the power of stories that change lives, words that inspire, and literature that builds bridges between cultures and generations. By unleashing this power in a new format to a growing audience, the potential of every book in our library is completely transformed. Kitab Sawti began initially as a project designed to help Syrian refugees in Swedish schools. During the process, we identified a global demand for Arabic content and decided to take on the challenge of building an Arabic audiobook market from scratch. Today, our platform brings together the content of Best-selling Arab authors like Saud Al Sanousi and Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq and International A-listers such as Dan Brown and Suzanne Collins, and the journey continues. The company has acquired a diverse international identity, with our offices across different continents and team members from all over the world. Together, we strongly believe in supporting and inspiring gifted authors to create more high quality Arabic literature for the world to listen to.
