Text to speech for students
Get through the reading list by listening to it.
Course packs, journal articles, forty-page PDF chapters: the reading piles up faster than anyone can sit and read it. ReadLoud turns all of it into natural speech with the words highlighted as they are spoken, so you can listen on the walk to campus and still follow along on screen when you need to.
Because you buy minutes rather than a subscription, a quiet month costs nothing. Most students spend under ten dollars for a whole term of listening.
PDFs and EPUBs, cleaned up
Drop in the file. Headers, footers, page numbers and citation markers are skipped automatically, so you hear the argument and not the apparatus.
Speed that stays clear
Listen at 1.5x or 2x for a first pass, slow down for the dense parts. Pitch stays natural at every speed, and the highlight keeps up.
Your place is saved
Stop mid-chapter on your phone, pick up on your laptop at the same sentence. Every document remembers where you were.

Questions
- Can I use it for a textbook PDF?
- Yes. Upload PDFs up to 40 MB. Scanned images without a text layer cannot be read; most textbooks and course PDFs have one.
- Does it work for languages other than English?
- Yes. The Narrator voices cover more than fifty locales and the language is detected from the document.
- Is there a student discount?
- There is no separate plan because there is no subscription. You pay for the minutes you use and nothing else.
