Readio

Got a long PDF or a saved webpage you would rather listen to than read? Readio is an AI reader and text-to-speech tool that turns PDFs, ebooks, EPUBs, documents and webpages into natural-sounding speech.

Paste in an article or open a file, press play, and the text is read aloud while you do something else.

Readio uses OpenAI TTS voices, which give the audio lifelike intonation, and it covers over 140 languages and accents.

That range matters if you read in more than one language or want an accent you find easier to follow.

Live highlighting keeps the spoken audio synced with the words on screen, so you can drop back into the text when your attention drifts.

The pricing model is free, which makes Readio an easy one to test on a real reading backlog before you decide whether listening suits you.
