Why convert documents to audio?
Not everyone can or wants to read a long document. Here's what changes when it becomes audio.
Listen instead of reading
An audio version lets people take in a document while doing something else.
- On the go. Listen while commuting, walking or exercising.
- More accessible. Help people who find reading on screen difficult.
- Easier to review. Hear your own writing read back to catch mistakes.
What is document to audio conversion?
Document to audio conversion reads the text in your file aloud with a computer voice and saves it as an audio file you can play on a phone, computer or speaker. Unlike Text to Speech, you start from a whole document rather than pasted text.
