How to Convert Articles to Audio

Saving articles to read later usually means never reading them. Converting them to audio clears your backlog — you listen while commuting, cooking, or exercising instead of letting tabs pile up.

Why listen to articles?

Audio turns a long read into productive downtime and keeps your eyes free. It's great for accessibility, for absorbing long-form journalism and reports, and for staying informed without more screen time. Natural AI narration makes even dense articles pleasant to follow.

Step-by-step: articles to audio

  1. Add the article text. Paste the article, or upload it as a document or PDF. Orate extracts the readable text for you.
  2. Pick a narrator voice. Choose a lifelike voice and reading style that suits long-form content.
  3. Generate the audio. Orate converts the article into smooth, natural speech in a single audio track.
  4. Listen anywhere. Stream on any device with adjustable speed, sleep timers, and lock-screen controls.

Build an audio reading list

Combine articles with PDFs, EPUB ebooks, and notes into playlists, so your whole reading list becomes a personal audio feed you can play back to back.
