Read It

Read It is a straightforward tool that solves a common modern problem: the pile of unread newsletters and articles. It uses AI-powered text-to-speech to convert written content into audio, which it then delivers to you as a personal podcast feed. You simply add this feed to apps like Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and your reading list becomes a listening queue. It's designed for anyone who prefers to consume content audibly or wants to multitask.

The process is refreshingly simple. Upon signing up, you get two key things: a unique email address and a bookmarklet for your browser. To listen to a newsletter, you forward it to your Read It email. For any article on the web, you click the bookmarklet. The service's state-of-the-art text-to-speech engine then processes the text and automatically adds the new audio file to your podcast feed. A standout feature is the transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing model—you're only charged per 10,000 characters converted, with no monthly subscription to worry about.

This tool is a perfect fit for busy professionals, avid newsletter subscribers, and commuters. It turns downtime in the car, on a walk, or at the gym into productive catch-up time. Instead of staring at a screen, you can listen to that long-form article from your favorite publication or finally get through the industry newsletters piling up in your inbox. It's a clever, focused application of AI that enhances daily routines without adding complexity.
