What is Read To Me?
Got a book, paper, or report that's not available as an audiobook? Turn it into one! 'Read' on your commute, at the gym, or basically anywhere! Read-To-Me turns any document into a navigable audiobook.
Problem
Users need to read books, articles, or papers but lack time or ability to do so visually. Traditional text-to-speech tools lack navigation features and struggle to convert non-audiobook documents into structured audio formats.
Solution
A web/mobile tool that lets users turn any document into a navigable audiobook using text-to-speech (TTS) technology. Users upload PDFs, articles, or other text files and receive audio versions with chapter/bookmark navigation.
Customers
Busy professionals, students, researchers, and visually impaired individuals who need hands-free, multitask-friendly access to written content.
Unique Features
Focus on document-to-audiobook conversion with navigation (e.g., skipping chapters), unlike generic TTS apps. Supports various formats and emphasizes 'audiobook-like' structure.
