Read It

What Read It is

Read It is a tool that converts newsletters and articles into audio. On sign-up you get a personal podcast feed URL for your player and a personal email address you can forward newsletters to; a bookmarklet converts any web page with one click, and billing is pay-as-you-go per characters rather than a subscription.

What you can do with it

• Empty an email newsletter backlog by listening
• Send articles to your podcast player
• Convert a web page with one click
• Pay only for what you convert

Who it is for

• Newsletter subscribers with a long backlog
• Commuters and walkers
• Readers who prefer audio

What to watch out for

• Forwarding work or confidential newsletters to a third-party email address needs a policy check
• Machine narration misreads names and technical terms
• Converting copyrighted articles does not grant redistribution rights
• Confirm current character pricing and free credits on the live site
