Turn PDFs and articles into audio that explains figures and tables
Charts and diagrams are narrated as what they show rather than skipped or read as a bare figure number.
Instead of fifty cells read one by one, you hear the conclusion the table supports.
Running headers, footers and page numbers are left out, and headings get a pause so chapters sound continuous.
Upload PDFs up to 100 MB and 1,000 pages, paste article links or add saved HTML pages, all stored together.
Text to speech and voice AI across every device
Listen to books, PDFs, documents and web pages read aloud in a large library of lifelike AI voices.
Dictate instead of typing in almost any app, across Google Docs, Gmail, Slack, Outlook and more.
Turn documents or a short prompt into an AI podcast, and get instant summaries of what you are reading.
Use the web app, Chrome and Edge extensions, and native iOS, Android, Mac and Windows apps.
