{"toolsListenToPdf":{"eyebrow":"Listen to documents","title":"Listen to a PDF","description":"Play any PDF out loud and follow along with a synced transcript. Built for the reading you have to do when your eyes are busy — commuting, walking, cooking, or resting them after a long day.","chip0":"Play anywhere","chip1":"Follow along as it reads","chip2":"Adjustable pace","chip3":"Offline once downloaded (paid plans)","ctaLabel":"Listen to a document","answerTitle":"Can you listen to a PDF out loud?","answer":"Yes. Scholarly reads a PDF aloud in a natural voice and saves it as one MP3, so you can listen in the app or download it and play it anywhere. A time-synced transcript sits beside the player: the line being spoken is highlighted as it goes, and clicking any line jumps the audio there. Unlike a screen reader, the audio is a real file you keep, and unlike a summary, it is the document itself.","step0Title":"Add the document","step0Body":"A PDF, Word file, slide deck, or web page — or anything already saved in your library.","step1Title":"Pick a voice and pace","step1Body":"Slow it to 0.75x for dense material, or push to 1.5x for a re-read of something you know.","step2Title":"Press play","step2Body":"Listen in Scholarly with the transcript following along, or download the MP3 on a paid plan for offline listening.","outcomesHeading":"When listening beats reading","outcome0Title":"On the move","outcome0Body":"A commute, a walk, or a drive turns into time you actually get through the reading.","outcome1Title":"Resting your eyes","outcome1Body":"After hours of screens, hearing the material is the difference between finishing it and not.","outcome2Title":"Reading differences","outcome2Body":"Following spoken words while the text highlights along is how a lot of people read best.","outcome3Title":"Second passes","outcome3Body":"Re-covering something you have already read is far faster at 1.25x with your hands free.","comparisonRow0Label":"What you hear","comparisonRow0Value":"The document itself, word for word, not a summary of it","comparisonRow1Label":"Follow along","comparisonRow1Value":"Synced transcript with the current line highlighted and clickable","comparisonRow2Label":"Offline","comparisonRow2Value":"Download the MP3 on a paid plan and it plays with no connection","comparisonRow3Label":"Speed","comparisonRow3Value":"0.75x to 1.5x, chosen before the audio is made","section0Heading":"Following along while it reads","section0Body":"The transcript is time-synced, so the line being spoken is highlighted as the audio moves. You can search it for a phrase and click straight to that moment, which makes going back to a specific passage as easy as it is in text. Copy the whole transcript out if you want to quote from it.","section1Heading":"How this differs from a screen reader","section1Body":"A screen reader speaks whatever is on screen, live, and stops when you close the tab. This produces a file. You can put it on your phone, queue it in a podcast app, listen in the car, or play it on a plane. It also reads the document rather than the interface around it — no menu items, no button labels, no formatting characters spoken out loud.","section2Heading":"What it handles well","section2Body":"Prose is what this is for: chapters, papers, reports, articles, and notes all read cleanly. Dense tables and heavy mathematical notation are the weak spot — the words come through, but the meaning a table carries by its layout does not survive being read aloud. For material like that a study guide or an audio summary usually serves better.","relatedHeading":"Related tools","relatedSubheading":"Other ways to get through your material without reading every word on a screen.","relatedLink0Title":"Text-to-Speech","relatedLink0Description":"The full tool, with voices, speed, and supported sources.","relatedLink1Title":"PDF to audio","relatedLink1Description":"The conversion itself, including page ranges for long books.","relatedLink2Title":"Audio summary generator","relatedLink2Description":"A short spoken recap when you do not need every word.","relatedLink3Title":"AI podcast generator","relatedLink3Description":"A host, a producer, and a guest talking through your source material.","relatedLink4Title":"Document to audio","relatedLink4Description":"Word files, slide decks, and work documents read aloud.","relatedLink5Title":"Audio to text","relatedLink5Description":"The reverse trip — turn a recording into a transcript.","faq0Title":"Can I listen offline?","faq0Body":"Yes, on a paid plan. The narration saves as a normal MP3 you can download; once it is on your device it plays with no connection, in any media or podcast app.","faq1Title":"Does it highlight the text as it reads?","faq1Body":"In Scholarly, yes — the transcript beside the player highlights the line currently being spoken, and you can click any line to jump the audio to it.","faq2Title":"Can I change the reading speed?","faq2Body":"You choose a speed between 0.75x and 1.5x before the audio is generated, and your player's own speed control still works on top of that.","faq3Title":"What kinds of files can I listen to?","faq3Body":"PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, text and Markdown files, spreadsheets, saved web pages, and anything already in your Scholarly library.","faq4Title":"Is this a screen reader?","faq4Body":"No. A screen reader narrates your interface live; this converts a document into an audio file you keep and can play anywhere, and it reads only the document's own words.","finalCtaTitle":"Start listening to what you have to read","finalCtaSubtitle":"Add a document, choose a voice, and get an MP3 you can play anywhere.","seoTitle":"Listen to a PDF — Play Any Document Out Loud","seoDescription":"Listen to any PDF read aloud in a natural voice, with a synced transcript that highlights each line.
