What is Article2Audio?
Article2Audio converts web articles and research papers into audio using AI. Instead of basic text-to-speech that reads everything word-for-word, it understands context: it interprets images, summarises tables, explains code, and adds natural pauses so the audio sounds more like someone actually talking to you. You can choose different voices, download files for offline listening, and access it all from a web browser. It supports over 140 languages, making content accessible to people who prefer listening, are travelling, or have visual impairments.
