Who this is for
Students converting dense reading — lecture transcripts, textbook chapters, study guides — into audio they can listen to while commuting or reviewing before an exam.
Teachers and course creators producing narration for slide decks, recorded explainers, or written lessons that need a spoken version, without recording their own voice for every module.
This page covers narrating existing written material. If what you actually need is pronunciation practice for learning a new language — hearing a word or phrase spoken correctly, repeatedly — see text to speech for language learning instead; it's a different use case with a different workflow.
Common classroom uses
Study material as audio
Turn a study guide or set of notes into an MP3 for review while walking, commuting, or doing something else with your eyes.
Narrating slide decks
Paste your speaker notes in, generate narration per slide or section, and pair it with a screen recording.
Teacher-student dialogue examples
Use the multi-speaker studio for scripted Q&A segments — one voice as the instructor, another as the student.
Reading support
Hearing text alongside reading it can help with focus and retention for some learners — this isn't a substitute for a diagnosed accommodation, but it's a free option to try.
How to turn a lesson into audio
1. Paste or import
Paste text directly, or import a PDF or Word file. One generation covers up to 5,000 characters — split longer material into sections.
2. Pick a clear voice
Choose from 580+ voices; a moderate pace usually reads better for study material than a fast one.
3. Generate and share
Download the MP3 and share it however your course platform or classroom normally distributes files.

- Educational storytelling with dialogue
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a whole textbook chapter at once?
Each generation covers up to 5,000 characters. Longer chapters need to be split into a few sections and generated separately.
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes — 75+ languages and accents, useful for multilingual classrooms.
What happens to the text and audio I generate?
See the privacy policy for exactly what's stored and for how long — we'd rather point you to the accurate answer than summarize it here and have it go stale.
Is this a substitute for a formal accessibility accommodation?
No. It's a free tool some learners find useful for reading support, but it isn't certified against any accessibility standard and shouldn't be treated as one.
