Select from 24+ AI voices and models. Pick a natural-sounding narrator that suits your content, from casual to professional tones.

Use Cases

The Document Reader turns any written content into an immersive listening experience.

Articles & Blog Posts

Paste any article URL and listen while commuting, exercising, or multitasking. The reader extracts the main content, skipping ads and navigation, so you hear only what matters.

PDFs & Documents

Upload PDF reports, manuals, whitepapers, and business documents. The reader extracts text from multi-page PDFs and reads them aloud with natural pacing and intonation.

Ebooks & EPUB Files

Turn any EPUB ebook into an audiobook instantly. Upload your ebook, choose a voice, and listen chapter by chapter with word highlighting to follow along as you read.

Research Papers

Listen to academic papers and research articles while reviewing data or taking notes. Speed up playback to 2x or 3x for efficient review of familiar material.

News & Newsletters

Catch up on daily news, industry newsletters, and RSS feeds by listening instead of reading. Paste URLs from any news site and let the AI narrator keep you informed hands-free.

Accessibility

Make any document accessible for visually impaired users or anyone who benefits from audio content. Word highlighting, adjustable font sizes, and auto-scroll enhance the reading experience.

Key Features

Everything you need for a seamless document listening experience.

Word Highlighting

Follow along as each word is highlighted in real time while the AI reads. Improves comprehension and helps you stay focused on the content. Toggle on or off in reading mode settings.

Speed Control

Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 3x. Slow down for complex material or speed up for quick reviews. Find your perfect listening pace with eight speed presets.

Offline Download

Download the full audio as MP3 for offline listening on any device. Create complete audiobooks from long documents. Perfect for commutes, flights, and areas without internet.

Multi-format Support

Upload PDFs, EPUBs, DOCX, and TXT files or paste any URL. Our parser handles tables of contents, page numbers, headers, and footers to extract clean, readable text.

The Best Way to Listen to Any Document

Why Use a Document Reader?

Reading long articles, research papers, and documents on screen leads to eye strain and fatigue. TTS.ai

Unlike basic screen readers that produce robotic output, TTS.ai uses state-of-the-art AI voices that sound genuinely human. The reader handles natural pacing, paragraph breaks, punctuation, and emphasis to deliver a comfortable listening experience even for long-form content.

Read Content in 30+ Languages

The Document Reader automatically detects the language of your content and selects the appropriate voice. It supports over 30 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and many more. Listen to foreign-language articles to improve comprehension, or have documents in multiple languages read with native-quality pronunciation.

Works on Any Device

The Document Reader works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Upload files from your device, paste URLs on the go, or continue listening where you left off. Download audio as MP3 to sync to your phone, car, or any media player for truly offline access.

Privacy First

Your documents are processed securely and never stored permanently. Uploaded files are deleted immediately after text extraction. URLs are fetched server-side so the target site never sees your IP. No tracking, no profiling, no data selling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The playback speed can be adjusted from 0.5x to 3x. This works in real-time without re-generating the audio — it uses native browser playback speed adjustment for instant changes.

Yes. After generating audio from your document, you can download it as an MP3 or WAV file. For long documents, the audio is generated in sections and stitched together into a single file for download.

Paste any article URL and our server fetches the page, strips ads and navigation, and extracts the main article text. The extracted text is then converted to speech using your chosen voice and model.

Free tier supports up to 5,000 characters per session. Signed-in users can process documents up to 50,000 characters. For longer documents like full books, use our Studio/Projects feature which handles chapters independently.

The Document Reader is optimized for long-form content. It handles document parsing (PDF, EPUB, URL extraction), word-by-word highlighting, continuous playback across sections, and bookmarking. Standard TTS is better for short snippets.

For long-form reading, Kokoro offers the best balance of quality and speed. Its natural prosody and fast generation make it ideal for articles and books. For more expressive narration, try CosyVoice 2 or Chatterbox.
