Audioread (formerly Audiblogs)

They've made it very easy to add articles. One button click, copy and paste text, or upload a PDF. I use Overcast as my podcast player and it shows up there automatically. All very seamless.

They had made some nice improvements on the audio in the last couple of years, but those feel like they've stalled a bit. I'm hoping they can keep making improvements there.

UX is a bit buggy. And pricing is unclear. But works. Audio could be improved. Hopefully it will get Spotify DJ level audio soon.

I use this tool daily. I forward it emails from mailing lists and love that I can get them in my podcast player. Specifically newsletters like Matt Levine are great for this -- long emails I don't want to sit down and read... much better as a podcast.

I am legally blind. I use a screen reader. AudioRead is an essential tool for collecting the documents and webpages I want to casually listen to later from the portability of my podcast player. No other product or service makes the listening experience easier, and with a transparent straight forward billing process and credit meter.

I only wish I could accept the risk and automatically add more content to AudioRead without the one article per day RSS limit.

As a dyslexic, Audioread has been a lifesaver. I can now take in so much of the world that would have otherwise passed me by. The process really is seamless, the sound is consistently high, and I’ve thrown some massive pieces at it without a hitch. If you’ve struggled with reading like I have, this is worth it.

I’ve used Audioread for a few months and am quite impressed. Easy to set up and very fast! I think that like most, I usually save many links or am forwarded some PDFs that may be of interest and unfortunately never get to them. And yet I listen to podcasts often so why not turn these into a listenable format? Genius.

I’ve tried Google’s podcast generator as well, but found that it felt too artificial and I’d miss out on some details. This is perfect as I get word for word audio plus option for summary. Keep it up!

I get sent long documents and emails for work. Used audioread to get a feed on my Overcast podcast app. Voice is smooth and product lives up to what it promises, would recommend to others.

Longtime TTS tinkerer here. After bouncing among Intelligent Speaker, Narro, NaturalReader, Speechify, and more, I’ve landed on Audioread as my daily driver. It nails what matters: modern, natural-sounding voices, real control over settings, and a rock-solid podcast feed I rely on every day. The browser extension just works (no random errors), support is responsive, and the devs are clearly active. It’s not quite a perfect five yet, there are a few small tweaks I’d love to see, but it’s a smart, fairly priced pick, especially if you listen as much as I do.

Love that I can just quickly paste in a bunch of websites and click play when ready to digest content on a walk

I use it with Apple Podcasts and it works great. Audio quality is good, too. It fails to transcribe every once in a while, but it's not really an issue. I like the new UX upgrades they did recently. Just what I needed!

This tool has helped me keep my learning active on the move. Emails, PDFs and recently university notes - all delivered while I am staying active or driving to my next stop.

Audioread is impressive because it converts articles into podcasts, making it easy to listen on the go. It’s highly practical and makes staying up to date much more convenient.
