Speechable
Turn any document into audio, podcasts, TED-style lectures

Upload any PDF, ebook, web article, or photo. Speechable cleans up the noise (footnotes, citations, ads, page numbers) and turns it into something you can actually listen to and learn from.
More than playback:
- Podcast mode turns your document into a two-voice conversation. Choose duration (5, 10, or 15 min) and language.
- Lecture mode gives you a TED-style breakdown that explains complex ideas clearly.
- Chat lets you ask questions by typing or speaking, in your language.

Two things mattered to me when building Speechable: accessibility and sustainability. Accessibility means trust-based discounts up to 50% off with no proof required. If you're a student, have ADHD or dyslexia, or face financial hardship, we believe you. Sustainability means Eco Mode runs TTS locally in your browser, using up to 20x less energy than cloud processing. It's also what makes unlimited free playback possible. These aren't marketing features. They're the reason the product exists.
The Eco Mode concept is really smart — running TTS locally not only eliminates the per-word cost that kills most audio tools at scale, it also makes unlimited free tier actually sustainable rather than a loss leader. The trust-based accessibility discount is a nice touch too. Most products either gatekeep with proof or just ignore the problem entirely. Interested to see how the podcast mode evolves — the two-voice format really does make dense content more digestible.
> Most doc-to-audio tools just dump raw text into TTS. Cleaning footnotes, citations, and page numbers first makes Speechable actually listenable—that’s the real differentiator. > > Eco Mode is clever: local TTS removes per-word costs, enables unlimited free use, and gives you a solid sustainability angle. The trust-based accessibility discount is rare—no proof, just belief. Much better than gatekeeping. > > Quick question: In podcast mode, does the two-voice split happen automatically from document structure, or does the user pick sections? If it’s automatic, that’s non-trivial. > > Strong fit for anyone listening to papers or long reads during commutes or workouts.
The Eco Mode concept is genuinely clever — running TTS locally in the browser instead of cloud calls is a win for both cost and sustainability. The content clean-up feature (stripping citations and footnotes before playback) is something I've always wanted in a read-aloud tool. Podcast mode turning a dense PDF into a two-voice conversation sounds like a great way to absorb research papers on a commute.
The noise cleanup step is what makes this genuinely useful rather than just another text-to-speech wrapper. Stripping out footnotes and page numbers before converting means the audio actually flows naturally. The TED-style lecture format is a smart angle for academic papers that are dense and hard to read linearly. Would be curious how it handles documents with heavy technical notation or equations.
