Read & Listen to PDFs
like never before

ReadLoudly is an AI-powered text-to-speech platform that converts PDFs, EPUBs, and documents into natural audio using 1200+ voices across 40+ languages. It works entirely in your browser — upload a file, choose a voice, and listen. Features include PDF chat, highlighting, bookmarking, dark mode, and PDF tools like merge, split, and compress.

Sign in at readloudly.com using your email or Google account. Guest access is also available — you can upload and listen without an account, though your library and settings won't be saved. Logged-in users get a personal dashboard with saved books, preferences, bookmarks, and highlights synced across devices.

Open the Bookmark tab on your dashboard to see all highlights and bookmarks across every document. Each entry links directly to the page and position where you made it. Highlights and bookmarks sync across devices in real time when you're signed in.

ReadLoudly offers 1200+ natural AI voices across 40+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and Japanese. Each language has multiple voice options — male, female, and neutral — with adjustable speed, pitch, and tone.

Premium users can download converted audio as MP3 files and listen offline via the iOS and Android apps. The apps sync your library, bookmarks, and listening position so you can continue without an internet connection. Free users can listen in-browser only.

ReadLoudly's neural AI voices handle pronunciation, pacing, and sentence rhythm naturally — most listeners find them indistinguishable from human narration for non-fiction. The key advantages are instant conversion, 1200+ voice options, 40+ languages, adjustable speed, and a free tier. Professional audiobook narrators still outperform AI for dramatic fiction.
