Listen to research papers
Papers, read aloud without the citation clutter.
Academic PDFs are the hardest thing to listen to: bracketed citations every sentence, footnotes, equations, running headers. ReadLoud's import cleans the text before a word is spoken, and the reader dims what it skipped so you can see exactly what was left out.
Paste an arXiv link or upload the PDF. Listening starts within seconds; the rest of the paper is synthesised as you go and cached, so re-reading a section later is free.
Citations and brackets skipped
Numbered references, author-year citations, superscripts and layout noise are detected and silently skipped. Turn any rule off in settings.
Pronunciation dictionary
Tell it once how to say a term or an acronym in your field, and every document after that gets it right.
Download the audio
Save a paper as a single MP3 for the flight or the gym. Generated audio is yours to keep.
Structure that survives
Headings get their own segment, so jumping to the Methods section lands on the heading and not in the middle of a sentence.
Questions
- How does it handle equations?
- Inline math is read as text where it is text; equation images are skipped. Papers heavy on formulas are better read than heard, and the highlight helps you find the spot on the page.
- Can it read from a link?
- Yes. Paste any public URL, including arXiv abstract pages and most journal HTML views. Paywalled pages need the text pasted or the PDF uploaded.
