Audioread

Audioread uses AI to turn written content into an audio version, letting you multitask by listening to articles, PDFs, emails and other documents while doing other things. The tool offers ultra-realistic text-to-speech voices that are designed for listening to long-form content and are hard to distinguish from a human voice.

You can use Audioread in several ways, including a web app, browser extensions, an iOS Shortcut and an Android app. That means you can convert text to audio in a variety of ways, including forwarding emails, dragging and dropping PDFs, copying and pasting text or selecting text. The service also can convert YouTube videos.

Audioread creates a private podcast RSS feed so you can subscribe and listen to your audio content in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and other podcast apps. Or you can listen directly in the browser without a podcast app.

Audioread costs $9.99 per month. That gets you:

• 100,000 words per conversion
• 500,000 words per day
• Support for 77 languages

Audioread is geared for people who want to be productive and multitask, listening to written content while they exercise, cook or drive.
