Listen to anything you want to read.
Hearem is an AI reader that turns PDFs, articles, and long text into natural speech—complete with smart splitting, expressive voices, background play, and audio export.
From source to sound, in four steps.
Bring in what you want to read, shape it, then keep listening.
Start with what you want to read.
Paste text, scan a screenshot, import a document, or share a web page. Hearem turns it into something you can listen to.
Shape it before you listen.
Remove page noise, keep the structure, and use Magic Editor when a source needs a little more cleanup.
Find a voice that fits.
Try different providers, languages, and moods. If you have permission, you can use your own voice too.
Put your phone down. Keep listening.
Follow the words, lock your phone, and return to the exact place you left.
Listen the way you like.
Follow every sentence, save a moment, set a timer, build a queue, and tune the pace without leaving the player.
Follow along, sentence by sentence.
