For educators

The reading pack, in audio

For instructors who want their students actually reading

Upload the lecture notes, syllabus, or reading packet you already assign. Audionarrator splits it into chapters, hides the front matter, and hands you MP3s that drop into Canvas, Blackboard, or a student's morning walk.

How it helps

Course material students actually finish

Assigned reading is the most-skipped part of most syllabi. When students can hit play on the walk to class, completion goes up — not because AI voices are magic, but because they meet students where their attention already is.

  • Upload PDF, DOCX, or EPUB — the same file you already put in your LMS
  • Chapter detection splits by section, so students jump to 'Week 5: Nash Equilibrium' instead of scrubbing through 200 pages
  • Front matter (syllabus header, table of contents, bibliography) is hidden by default — playback is the material, not the metadata
  • MP3 export drops straight into Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, or Google Classroom
  • One subscription covers every course you teach — no per-file surcharge, no per-student seat
  • Accessibility parity: readers with dyslexia, low vision, or English as a second language get the material at the same speed as everyone else

Questions

Questions instructors actually ask

The answers that hold up when your department chair reads them.

Can I legally distribute audio of a textbook chapter?

If you wrote it, yes. If it's third-party material, the same fair-use rules apply as they do for the PDF version — most instructors clear anything beyond a single classroom with their library's copyright officer. We're not lawyers; ask yours.

Does it pronounce technical terms correctly — equations, chemistry, medical vocabulary?

For most STEM notation it does surprisingly well. For truly novel terminology (new drug names, obscure jargon), listen through once and edit the source text to spell out phonetic pronunciations. Regenerating a chapter takes minutes, not a re-record session.

How do students access the audio?

You download the MP3s and post them the same way you post PDFs — Canvas file link, Blackboard content module, Google Classroom attachment. Nothing new for your students to sign up for.

Does it support accessibility requirements?

The audio itself is a WCAG-friendly alternative to text-only material. Combined with the original PDF (we don't replace it), you're offering a genuine multi-modal option for students with dyslexia, low vision, or reading fatigue.

One subscription across all my courses?

Yes. The word quota is per account, not per class. Teach four sections of the same course, and four uploads share the same balance.

What happens to the material after I upload it?

It's stored so you can regenerate the audio when you tweak the lecture next semester. We don't sell it, we don't train on it, and deleting a book from your library wipes both the text and the audio.
