The player

Everything you need for easier reading

One player, built around long documents: pick a voice, set the pace, and read along while it speaks.

The ListenPDF player highlights the sentence being read, offers adjustable playback speed and multiple natural voices, and remembers your listening position.

Runs in your desktop, tablet, or mobile browser — nothing to install.

Reports, ebooks, contracts, guides — upload once and return without uploading again. Your audio and listening position live in your private library.

  • Return without re-uploading
  • Playback position saved automatically
