* On the Free plan, we can use your uploaded material to help improve the models we use to understand documents and convert them to audio, such as learning how to interpret tables, read formulas, and parse tricky formatting. The models do not reproduce your content or share it with third parties. On Plus, your uploaded documents are only used to create audio for you and are not used to improve Paper2Audio's models.
Paper2Audio Plus
For professionals and power users who need higher limits, advanced features, and stronger privacy.
The Plus plan combines enhanced features with a trust-based approach that relies on users to choose honestly:
- If you're using Paper2Audio for work, upgrade to Plus to comply with our terms of service.
- If you are listening to your work, have research funds, or pay for professional software tools, you should be using our Plus plan.
The Plus plan is also an option for power users who listen to more than 8 hours of audio per day on average, or if you just want to support what we're doing. Your support keeps Paper2Audio ad-free, and helps us to improve our accuracy and build new features.

What our users say
Why students, professors, lawyers, engineers, AI researchers, teachers and users with accessibility needs pick Paper2Audio over other text to speech apps.
This is honestly a life saver. I have ADHD and have difficulty reading words off a page. My job requires a LOT of reading- so, I have been fooling around with TTS apps for a while and they can be very expensive. This has delivered a better product that is easier for me to set up than competitors, automatically converting only relevant text (I read academic publications, it is pretty good at filtering out citations) It also summarizes figures fairly accurately.
Best in the market. Fixes typos and other PDF parsing errors, moves around figures, summarizes plots, AND THEY HAVE AN RSS FEED FOR PODCASTS. I've tried all the alternatives like Speechify, Eleven Labs, NaturalReader, etc. This app, hands down, beats all of them.
I honestly can't say thank you enough for creating this. I have spent the last few years of my life looking for something like your program that is inexpensive, in order to get through long journals with ADD and mild dyslexia. Finding your program that accurately knows how to transcribe a journal is an absolute game changer! All the features in your software are insane! Thank you for offering such a generous amount of free time! I am going to see if I can get my school to pay for a full subscription to support this, but if not, once I graduate and have a bit more flexibility in spending, I would love to figure out how to support this program. This is a game changer!
