Founder story

Somewhere right now, someone is saving an article they will never read. They don’t know that yet. They think tomorrow will be different.

Niloufar lived that loop every week at the University of Michigan. Two majors, twenty hours of teaching, hundreds of pages piling up faster than she could keep up. She asked everyone around her. Students, professors, researchers. Same answer, every time:

“Too much to read. Not enough hours. No good solution.”

That’s not a personal problem. That’s a broken system. And broken systems are where companies get built.

Word2Talk exists because that sentence shouldn’t be true anymore.

What people are saying
about Word2Talk

From students to researchers, hear from the people who changed how they read.

Wanda Project Manager, UK
“I used to stay late just to get through my reports. Word2Talk gave me my evenings back. I finally feel in control again, not constantly behind.”
Paulo Post Doc Researcher, Portugal
“I was behind on so many papers I stopped counting. A friend showed me Word2Talk and honestly I thought it was too good to be true. Two weeks in, I was caught up.”
Apool PhD Student, Portugal
“My supervisor kept adding papers to my list and I kept pretending I'd read them. Word2Talk was the first time I stopped pretending. I actually know this stuff now.”
Maya CX Expert, South Korea
“Switching between Korean and English all day is exhausting. By evening my brain was done. Word2Talk let me keep learning without feeling like I was studying. Big difference.”
Ali Master’s Student, Turkey
“My English is good but academic English is another thing. I'd read the same paragraph four times and still feel lost. Word2Talk was the first thing that actually helped.”
Navid Systems Engineer, Italy
“Reading long technical docs always killed my focus halfway through. I tried Word2Talk on a whim and finished a full spec the same afternoon. Hadn’t done that in months.”

Does Word2Talk work on Canvas and PDFs?

If you can see the text on your screen in Chrome, Word2Talk can turn it into audio, and that includes pages inside an LMS like Canvas or Blackboard. We have not tested every portal end to end, so if a page does not extract cleanly, tell us and we will look at it. Academic PDFs work too: when a dense layout takes too long to parse, extraction falls back to raw text rather than failing.

What languages are supported?

We currently support 15 languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Standard Arabic, Persian, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Hindi, Russian, Japanese, Romanian, Dutch, and Papiamento. Our neural translation engine preserves context, academic terminology, and natural speech patterns. We're actively expanding to more languages, so stay tuned.

What does 'Follow as you listen' mean?

When you play an article, Word2Talk opens a distraction-free reader (sometimes called the Bimodal Reader) that strips away ads and clutter, then highlights the exact sentence being spoken in real-time. Reading and listening at the same time helps you stay focused and absorb more.

How does the Web Player work?

The Web Player is your personal audio library at word2talk.com/webplayer. Any article you save from the Chrome extension appears in your queue. You can also paste URLs directly into the Web Player to add articles. Everything syncs automatically.
