Hey Product Hunt!
I built RatherListen as a way to fit more news articles and blog posts into my current routine, especially during morning walks.
When listening instead of visual reading, I like to listen at a faster speed to get through more content, and I personally find that I retain more of what I read.
Obviously the concept of Text To Speech conversion isn't new, but existing products use outdated conversion technology that sounds more robotic and monotone, making it difficult to listen to for long periods of time and retain the content. Other solutions are also more focused on the education market, as opposed to the consumer and professional use cases RatherListen primarily intends to help.

Love it! Tried it for myself and was blown away by the audio quality compared
To other things I’ve tried. Sounds as close to a real person reading it as possible. Impressive work Nick!
This is so much better than speechify. The voice is incredibly realistic. I tested it on Arabic names, which most speech apps are notoriously bad at, and it nailed it. Nice work!
