Why We Built WithAudio
Reading isn't always easy. It can be slow, mentally exhausting, and difficult to stay focused—especially for long-form or dense material. For many of us, listening is more intuitive. It helps us stay present. It gives us freedom.
And yet, most tools built for listening to text are either locked behind subscriptions, or send your data to the cloud. We wanted to build something different: a product you can trust, a tool you can own, and a reading experience that feels intuitive and modern.
A Personal Story
For me, reading wasn't second nature. I struggled to focus and retain information. But when I paired reading with audio—and especially with synchronized text highlighting (in one of those expensive subscription apps) everything changed. It felt smoother, more natural. I could read more, and remember more.
I tried dozens of TTS apps. Some were okay. But none were private. Most sent my content to a server. None were affordable. Monthly subscriptions added up fast. They required an internet connection to function.
So we built WithAudio.
What You Can Do WithAudio
WithAudio turns any readable content into a private, focused listening experience. You can import EPUB books, markdown and plain text files, or web articles using reader mode. We're working on PDF and DOCX support too.
Once the content is added, you can choose any paragraph or section to listen to. Text is highlighted in real-time while the voice reads it aloud. You can adjust the playback speed to suit your reading flow, and use auto-scroll to follow along without touching your mouse.
WithAudio supports 28 different English voices, so you can choose the one that best fits your preferences or needs. You can listen to samples and test the available voices on our available voices page.
You can also use Global Capture. Once you enable this, just select some text or copy a URL from any app, press a keyboard shortcut, and WithAudio will quietly import the content in the background and begin playing it, if you want.
Export to Audiobook
WithAudio lets you export entire documents or chapters to high-quality audio files. You can choose between MP3 for compatibility or M4A with chapter metadata and better quality. You get to preview voices before exporting, and everything is generated locally on your device. No uploads, no tracking, just fast audio.
Exporting is perfect for studying on the go, building your own audiobook library, or listening to blog posts later in your favorite audio app. We have a few exported audiobooks, you can check them out here. There is a also a demo video showing the export process on YouTube.
Privacy by Default
Everything happens locally. Your books, your notes, and your audio files stay on your device. WithAudio doesn't call any servers to generate speech, store data, or track usage. Voice synthesis, export, and caching are handled entirely on-device.
Navigation That Makes Sense
You can jump precisely between sentences, paragraphs, or chapters. WithAudio's controls feel like an audio player—but smarter. It skips to meaningful points instead of arbitrary timestamps. You can resume exactly where you left off, and it moves to the next chapter automatically.
One-Time Purchase. No Subscriptions.
You buy WithAudio once. You get the app forever. Updates are free. No recurring fees. No tricks. There's even a launch discount available right now.
Who Is WithAudio For?
