You might be wondering...
“Isn't this just browser Read Aloud?”
Browser readers just read text. Sornic gives you AI summaries, key takeaways, and downloadable MP3s. And it works on PDFs and photos too.
“Why not Speechify?”
Speechify costs $139/year. Sornic is free for unlimited listening. Pro is $8/mo for AI intelligence and HD voices.
“Will it work on my article?”
Works on any public article, blog, news site, documentation, PDF, or photo of text. Doesn't work on paywalled sites or video content.
Turn any content into audio
Sornic is an AI voice reader that converts articles, PDFs, and photos of text into natural-sounding audio. Paste any article URL — from news sites, blogs, documentation, or research papers — and Sornic extracts the content, cleans it with AI, and generates a downloadable MP3 using one of six realistic AI voices. It takes seconds, not minutes. No signup, no account, no subscription required.
Unlike basic text-to-speech tools, Sornic understands what it reads. It generates AI summaries so you can decide if an article is worth your time in 90 seconds. It extracts key takeaways — the 3 to 5 most important points — so you walk away with actionable insights. And with Simplify Mode, complex technical articles are rewritten in plain language before being read aloud, making dense content accessible to everyone.
Sornic is built for people who save more than they read — researchers catching up on papers, commuters turning their reading list into a podcast, students converting textbook pages into audio study guides, and professionals who want to stay informed without staring at a screen. Whether you need article-to-audio conversion, PDF-to-audio for research papers, or a text-to-speech reader that actually understands content, Sornic is the fastest way to listen to what matters.
