For students
How students use a read-aloud reader
Listening is another way to get through a heavy reading list, and it fits into moments when reading on a screen does not.
Get through long readings
Upload an assigned chapter or paper and listen at 1.5× or 2.0× to cover more in less time. Slow it down to 0.75× for dense sections.
Listen and read together
Word highlighting lets you read along while you hear the text, which many people find helps them stay focused on the line they are on.
Look up terms on the spot
Tap a word for a definition and pronunciation instead of opening another tab and losing your place.
Study in another language
Translate a sentence into one of 12 languages while you listen, useful for readers working in a second language.
Keep your place
Bookmark where you stopped and keep files in folders, one per class or project.
Rest your eyes at night
Use the Midnight theme and the sleep timer for evening review without a bright white screen.
