article2audioarticle2audio is an article narration service
article2audio.app is an article narration service for publishers and for readers who would rather listen. It turns an HTML post - including its images, tables, code blocks, and footnotes - into a script a person would read aloud, then into audio.
Publishers use it to give their readers an audio version of a post without recording one. Readers use it to listen to the articles they saved for later.

Images
Every image is described, so a picture is no longer a silent spot in the audio.
Tables
Tables are summarised down to what they say, instead of read cell by cell.
Code blocks
Code and pre-formatted text are explained in spoken language.
Pauses
Pauses land where the writing pauses, the way a person reading aloud would.
Who's behind article2audio
I built article2audio in 2023 for my own read-it-later list, because every tool I tried scraped the text out of a page and read it verbatim — images, tables and code blocks simply went missing. I still listen to it every day, which is why it keeps getting better at the parts other readers skip.
