AI PDF Reader That Reads Aloud
Listen to your PDF while you read along — then check what stuck

Two ways to have your PDF read aloud
Clean Read-Through reads the text faithfully and in order — the one to choose when you want to follow along in the original PDF.
Lecture explains the document the way a teacher would, with context and asides, which helps when the material is new to you. Summary gives just the key points, for deciding whether to read the whole thing.
How the PDF reader works
1. Upload a PDF of up to 10 MB that has selectable text.
2. Choose a voice, a language and a mode, and convert.
3. Play it back at the speed you like, open the transcript to read along, then try the quiz, key terms and section summaries.
