Questions
Answers regarding text-to-audio conversion, AI narration, and podcast feeds.
Listening to Articles & Web Content
Q: How can I listen to web articles instead of reading them?
The best way to listen to web articles is by converting them into a personal podcast feed. ListenToAnything allows you to paste any article URL, which our AI engine then converts into a high-quality audio episode. You can then listen to this episode in your favorite podcast app (like Apple Podcasts or Spotify) while driving, exercising, or working.
Q: Is there an app that reads websites to you like a podcast?
Yes. Unlike standard screen readers that sound robotic and require you to keep your browser open, ListenToAnything converts websites into downloadable podcast episodes. This allows for offline listening, background play on mobile devices, and adjustable playback speeds—exactly like a standard podcast.
Q: How do I turn a blog post into an MP3 or audio file?
Simply submit the blog post URL to your ListenToAnything dashboard. We process the text and generate an audio file hosted on your private RSS feed. Most podcast apps allow you to download these episodes as MP3/audio files directly to your device for offline use.
PDFs & Document Conversion
Q: Can I convert a PDF into an audiobook or podcast?
Yes. ListenToAnything fully supports PDF to Audio conversion. You can upload research papers, reports, e-books, or work documents. Our system extracts the text and uses AI narration to create an audio track, effectively turning your PDF documents into a mini-audiobook that sits in your podcast feed.
Q: What happens with images or charts in my PDF?
Our algorithms are optimized to extract the narrative text from your documents while intelligently skipping non-narrative elements like heavy data tables or image captions, ensuring a smooth listening experience.
AI Voices & Technology
Q: Do the AI voices sound robotic?
No. We use "Neural Text-to-Speech" technology, which creates voices that are nearly indistinguishable from human narrators. They include natural pauses, intonation, and rhythm. We recommend listening to the samples on our homepage to hear the difference compared to standard screen readers.
Q: How fast is the text-to-audio processing?
Conversion is extremely fast. An average-length article or blog post is typically converted and available in your podcast feed within 2 to 5 minutes. Longer PDFs may take slightly longer depending on the character count.
Account & Compatibility
Q: Which podcast apps work with ListenToAnything?
Our custom RSS feeds work with virtually every major podcast player, including Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts, Downcast, and Castro.
