Who this is for
Students converting dense reading — lecture transcripts, chapters, study guides — into audio for the commute or a last review before an exam.
Teachers and course creators producing narration for slide decks, recorded explainers or written lessons, without recording their own voice for every module.
If you need pronunciation practice for a new language rather than narration of existing material, see text to speech for language learning — a different workflow.
Common classroom uses
Study material as audio
Turn a study guide or set of notes into an MP3 to review while walking or commuting.
Narrating slide decks
Paste speaker notes, generate narration per slide, and pair it with a screen recording. The presentations guide covers the per-slide workflow.
Teacher–student dialogues
Use the multi-speaker studio for scripted Q&A: one voice as the instructor, another as the student.
Reading support
Hearing text while reading it helps some learners with focus and retention. It isn’t a substitute for a diagnosed accommodation, but it’s a free option to try.
How to turn a lesson into audio
- Paste or import. Paste text, or import a PDF or Word file. Split long material into 5,000-character sections.
- Pick a clear voice. A moderate pace usually works better for study material — try 0.9× speed for dense content.
- Generate and share. Download the MP3 and share it the way your course platform normally distributes files.
