For the articles you open but never get around to finishing.
A saved link is still something to read. Hearem extracts the main text from accessible webpages and turns it into audio you can return to. Start with an essay, a news article, or a long read you have been keeping for later.
Bring the article in from your browser.
Send a page through the iOS share sheet or paste its URL into Hearem. You can also type or paste the text directly; a link is not required.
Check the text before you generate.
Web extraction aims to keep the main article, rather than navigation and page clutter. Check the result, and use Magic Editor when it needs formatting or cleanup. Extraction can vary by website.
Let long articles split automatically.
Hearem divides long text according to the selected voice provider's input limits and generates the sections in sequence. You do not need to copy each section into a separate TTS request.
Choose the voice, then leave the screen.
Pick a supported AI voice for natural narration. Generated audio can continue in the background or on the lock screen, with listening history and saved playback progress.
How to read a webpage aloud on iPhone
The conversion happens in the Hearem app. This page explains the workflow; it does not process your URL in the browser.
Share or paste a link
Open the article in your browser and share it to Hearem, or copy its URL into the app.
Review the extracted text
Check that the article is complete. Remove unwanted fragments or paste the accessible body text when link extraction fails.
Choose a voice
Select a voice suited to the article's language, then generate the audio. Long text is split automatically.
Listen and return later
Lock your phone and keep listening. Return to the saved recording and playback position when you are ready to continue.
Some pages cannot be extracted from a link.
Login requirements, paywalls, and anti-scraping restrictions can prevent webpage extraction. Hearem does not bypass them. When you can legitimately access and copy the article, paste its text into the app instead.
- Check the extracted article before generating speech.
- Paste accessible text when a link does not work.
- Use OCR separately for text embedded in screenshots.
- Cloud AI voices and webpage extraction need a connection.
Webpage to speech FAQ
Can I use this as an online webpage reader?
This is a product page for Hearem on iPhone, not an online converter. Install and sign in to the app, then share a URL or paste the text to start listening.
Can it read a page behind a login or paywall?
Hearem may not be able to extract those pages from a URL and does not bypass access restrictions. You can paste text that you are authorized to access and use.
Do I need to split a long article myself?
No. Hearem can split long content automatically based on the chosen voice provider's input limit and generate the sections for continuous listening.
Will it continue with my iPhone locked?
Yes. Generated audio supports background and lock-screen playback, and Hearem saves your listening progress.
Can I save the article as an audio file?
Standard users can export generated audio as a file or share it with another app. The file format depends on the source audio; exporting is not a guarantee of MP3 conversion.
Is webpage reading free?
The free plan includes basic allowances for webpage reading and access to Apple system voices. Higher allowances, premium AI voices, and export have plan requirements. See the current pricing page for details.
