Audioread

Audioread is an AI text-to-speech platform that turns written content into audio for listening in the Audioread app or in podcast players. It supports articles, PDFs, emails, and RSS feeds, aiming to fit into listening workflows rather than reading in a single browser tab.

Audiences access content by adding a URL, uploading a document, forwarding an email, or subscribing to a feed. The system processes text and generates AI speech, then syncs the audio to a user’s playlist and chosen podcast player. The product emphasizes listening as a way to multitask and stay engaged with written material.

Content is available across web and mobile interfaces, with options to listen in a browser, on iOS and Android, or through other podcast apps. It supports many languages and voices and offers content formats such as web articles, PDFs, DOCX, plain text, emails, and RSS feeds, with automatic updates for new entries.

Audioread emphasizes accessibility and learning use cases by providing audio formats that complement reading for various needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, and language-learning goals. The service notes the existence of a private podcast feed and the ability to listen offline in supported apps, framing listening as an alternative or supplement to traditional reading.

Use cases
