Have a question?

Founded in 2022, Siftbooks is the world's 1st audiobook filtering service!

Ever been surprised by unexpected content in an audiobook? We get it! That’s why we created a product that lets you skip the stuff you're not too keen on without interrupting the story. From profanity to sexual content, and other filters on the way, you're in control of what you hear.

With a mix of tech wizardry and Artificial Intelligence, we're on a mission to find those unexpected surprises in every audiobook.

We're still growing, finding our feet, and shaping Siftbooks to be the best it can be. So, if you stumble upon a hiccup, have a burning question, or just wanna share how you feel, drop us a line! And if you're loving what we're doing, think about subscribing. It'd mean the world to us!

Cheers and happy listening!

We do our best to remove all Sexual Content, Profanity, and instances of Taking The Lord's Name in Vain. However, we're not perfect and sometimes a word or phrase is missed. If this happens then please report it by clicking the "Report Explicit Content" button within the Siftbooks app so you can help make each audiobook cleaner for the next listener.

There are two main parts to your Siftbooks subscription:

1) You're able to submit one audiobook request per month for any book that you'd like Siftbooks to clean for you.

2) Unlimited access to listen to any audiobook that you have purchased on Audible and that is also available in the Siftbooks library.

You can submit an audiobook request on the the "Library" page of the app by selecting one of the grayed out audiobooks. Please be aware of the following:

1. You can only request 1 audiobook per month.

2. We can't guarantee how long it will take us to complete your requested book. There are several factors that determine our turnaround time such as the length of the audiobook, the level of explicit content, and how many other book requests are in Siftbooks' queue.

3. Siftbooks reserves the right to reject any audiobook request that is overly pornographic or controversial in nature.

4. It is important to note that it is possible for Siftbooks to sometimes miss some content that should have been filtered. With your help, any missed filters can be corrected by clicking the "Report Explicit Content" button within the Siftbooks app so you can help make each audiobook cleaner for the next listener.

No, you do not need an active Audible subscription. The only requirement is that you own an audiobook within your Audible library. You can obtain that audiobook with a Audible subscription, a one-time cash purchase, or by using an Audible Gift Card.

*A great option is purchasing an Audible Gift Card for yourself HERE. Also, Audible offers a price-per-audiobook discount if you purchase a Gift Card that has 12 Credits.

From the "Library" page in the Siftbooks app, you can access and listen to your Audible library if that same audiobook has already been reviewed by Siftbooks. From the "Discover" page, you can see all the books that Siftbooks has cleaned and that are available for listening. *Adding an audiobook from the "Discover" page will either use your available Audible credits or it will bill your default payment method on Audible.

The Siftbooks app connects to Audible and then our technology acts like an automated remote control where we know the exact times to instantly mute and fast forward over any undesirable words or scenes without you ever having to hear it!

Siftbooks complies with all Copyright laws by never altering an author's creative works. We simply give listeners the freedom to choose what content they would or would not like to consume.

Visit mobile.siftbooks.com on your mobile device and follow the install instructions to add the Siftbooks app to your phone's home screen (you can still access the Siftbooks library from your internet browser but installing the app is highly recommended).

*The Siftbooks app is not yet available in the Apple app store or the Google play store.

Siftbooks only allows listening to audiobooks that you have already added to you Audible account.

Currently, Siftbooks is designed to work exclusively with Audible's library but we hope to expand to other platforms in the near future.

The time it takes for a requested book to become available varies depending on several factors, such as the audiobook's length, amount of filters needed, and the volume of requests we receive.

As soon as one of your requested audiobooks is ready on Siftbooks, we’ll send you an email notification right away! To make sure you never miss an update, here’s a quick tip: move Siftbooks emails to your main inbox so they don’t get lost in your spam or promotion folder. For Gmail Users: ⭐ Move Siftbooks into your Primary tab - On mobile: Tap the 3 dots in the top right of our email → select "Move to" → then "Primary" - On desktop: Drag our email into the "Primary" tab (usually the first one on the left) For Apple Mail Users: ⭐ Make us a VIP - Tap on our email address (corporate@siftbooks.com) → select "Add to VIP" to make sure our emails stay front and center. We’ll always let you know the moment your book is ready—just a small step from you ensures you’ll never miss a title!

Yes, a Siftbooks subscription is always required. If you cancel your account then you will lose access to the Siftbooks app.

Our filtering system uses automated processes to identify and remove explicit content from audiobooks. While we strive for the highest accuracy possible, it's important to note that the filtering is not perfect. On average, our system successfully captures and removes around 95% of swear words and 70-90% of sexual content (depending on how objectively explicit the content is).

However, there may be instances where some content slips through the cracks. We are continuously working on improving the accuracy of our filtering algorithms. If you come across any content that you believe is missing a filter, please help us make the audiobook cleaner for the next listener by using the "Report Explicit Content" button within the Siftbooks app.
