The Problem with Reading on Substack

Great content, but not always convenient to read

Not all newsletters have audio

Substack offers creator recordings, but most writers don't record their posts. You're left reading long newsletters on a screen.

Newsletter backlogs pile up

Subscribed to too many newsletters? Your inbox fills up faster than you can read, and great content goes unread.

Screen time fatigue

After a day of work, the last thing you want is more screen time. But you still want to catch up on your favorite writers.

Reading isn't always possible

Commuting, exercising, cooking, cleaning - there are countless moments where reading just isn't practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ArticleAudio work with all Substack newsletters?

Yes! ArticleAudio works on any webpage, including all Substack newsletters. Just highlight the text you want to hear, press Shift+Tab, and start listening.

How is this different from Substack's built-in audio?

Substack only offers audio when creators manually record their posts - most don't. ArticleAudio uses AI to convert any newsletter to audio, so you're never stuck reading.

Will it work with paid/subscriber-only Substack posts?

Yes! If you can see the content in your browser (i.e., you're logged in and subscribed), ArticleAudio can read it aloud. We don't bypass paywalls - we just read what's visible on your screen.

How natural does the voice sound?

We use state-of-the-art AI voices that sound remarkably natural. They're optimized for long-form reading, so you can listen to entire newsletters without fatigue.

Can I control playback speed?

Absolutely. Speed up to 2x to power through your backlog, or slow down for complex content. You have full control over playback.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! You get 2,000 words free when you install ArticleAudio - no credit card required. That's enough to listen to several newsletters and experience the quality firsthand.
