Audioread is an AI text-to-speech service that turns your reading list into a private podcast feed. You paste a link, upload a file, forward an email, or subscribe to an RSS feed. Audioread narrates it with AI voices and adds the episode to your feed. Then you listen in the web or mobile app, or in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Overcast. It suits busy professionals, students, and anyone who wants to get through articles and documents while commuting or exercising.

• Private Podcast Feed: Each item you add shows up as an episode in your own RSS feed. You can listen in podcast apps you already use, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, and Pocket Casts.
• Multi-Format Input: Convert web articles, PDFs, Word (DOCX) files, plain text, and forwarded emails into audio, so you don't need a separate tool for each format.
• Email Forwarding Inbox: You get a private Audioread inbox. Forward newsletters or work emails to it and they become listenable episodes.
• RSS and Atom Feed Subscriptions: Subscribe to blogs and newsletters by feed. New posts are converted automatically, so your listening queue fills itself.
• Large Voice and Language Library: Choose from nearly 1,000 AI voices across 150+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and Portuguese.
• Web, iOS, and Android Apps: Listen in the browser or on Audioread's mobile apps. You can also download episodes through your podcast app for offline listening.
• Developer API: An API with published docs, an API catalog, and an MCP server card lets developers and AI agents send content to Audioread from their own workflows.

• Fits Your Existing Habits: Audio goes to the podcast app you already use, so you don't have to learn a new player.
• Automates Your Reading List: RSS subscriptions and email forwarding keep adding new content without manual uploads.
• Handles Many Content Types: Articles, PDFs, DOCX files, plain text, and emails all go into one queue.
• Wide Language Coverage: 150+ languages and nearly 1,000 voices make it useful for multilingual readers and language learners.
• Free to Start: A free tier lets you test conversions before you choose a paid plan.
• Hands-Free Listening: You can get through long articles and reports while commuting, exercising, or doing chores.

• Free Tier Is a Preview Only: Free conversions stop at 1,000 characters each. To listen to full articles or documents, you need a paid plan.
• Per-Document Length Cap: Paid plans convert documents of up to 100,000 characters. Full-length books and very long reports may need to be split into parts.
• Less Suited to Reading Along Visually: Audioread focuses on background listening through a podcast feed. Readers who want to see each word highlighted as it's read may prefer an app like ElevenLabs Reader.
• Limited Audio Editing Tools: The product turns text into a listening feed for you. It doesn't present itself as a tool for editing or publishing professional voiceovers.

• Clearing a Reading Backlog: Save the articles piling up in your browser tabs to Audioread. Then work through them as podcast episodes on your commute.
• Newsletters as a Daily Podcast: Forward your morning newsletters to your private Audioread inbox, or subscribe to their RSS feeds. They show up in your podcast app as a ready-made daily briefing.
• Studying and Exam Prep: Upload lecture notes, PDFs, or study documents and listen to them during workouts or walks. You get more review time without extra screen time.
• Catching Up on Work Reports: Forward long work emails or upload reports in DOCX or PDF. You can review them hands-free between meetings or on the way to the office.
• Accessibility Support: Readers with dyslexia, low vision, or eye strain can turn written content into natural-sounding audio and take in the same material by ear.
• Automated Content Pipelines: Developers can use the Audioread API to send content from their own tools or AI agents, turning text into podcast episodes without manual steps.
