Read aloud and transcribe

Every document,
out loud.

Listen to any document with word-level sync, or drop in a recording for a clean, timestamped transcript.

Live demo

Paste an article, a PDF, or a chapter you never finished. Mirent reads it back in a warm, natural voice, and every word lights up as it speaks, so following along feels effortless.
