Listen to a PDF instead of reading it. File Transmute extracts the text from your PDF and reads it aloud with a natural neural voice, exporting MP3 or WAV — all on your device, so the document is never uploaded.

Best for

  • Listening to a PDF article, paper, or report on the go
  • Turning a document into audio for hands-free or accessible reading
  • Proofreading a PDF by hearing it read back

Good to know

Extracts the text from a PDF and reads it aloud, with the option to save it as audio — on your device, nothing uploaded. It needs a text-based PDF; a scanned (image-only) PDF has no text to read, so run it through Image to Text (OCR) first. Images and complex layout aren't spoken.

Yes — download the spoken output as an audio file to listen to later or share.

The PDF's text content. Images, charts, and complex layout aren't spoken — just the words.
