Core functionality

• Produces audio using a natural, human-like voice for a more pleasant listening experience.
• Converts webpages, academic papers and PDF documents into spoken form.
• Lets you pick specific passages or chapters you want read aloud.
• Offers one-tap note-taking while audio plays so you can capture thoughts without pausing.
