Does anyone know of an equivalent to WorkAudioBook for macOS and/or iOS?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Im not sure that it’s exactly an equivalent but Speater is an iOS app that has a loop/repeat function. There is a free light version that has a limit on file size you can use with it - something like only three minute audio or video files or maybe it’s just the first three minutes of a file of any length.

I bought the paid version because I thought it does a good job - it works with audio and video - I should use it more. Anyway the light version gives you a good look to decide if you want to buy or maybe even satisfies your needs.

Thanks, Adrianslont, Speater looks promising.

I think you can use a WINE emulator on Macs to run windows programs can't you? I have done this on Linux before. So in theory you could use wordbook audio.
