Building Mirent, a read-along reader

About

I'm Mạnh, an indie maker. I'm building Mirent, a browser tool that reads documents aloud with each word highlighted as it's spoken, made for people who find dense reading exhausting (dyslexia, ADHD, or just long PDFs). I care about making reading less draining and easier to focus on.

Mirent · Every document, out loud - Your documents read aloud, every word tracked

Most of what you read will never get an audiobook. Research papers, work PDFs, textbooks, that EPUB from two years ago. Mirent reads them for you. A natural AI voice, every word highlighted as it's spoken, ready in minutes instead of weeks in a studio. It strips out page numbers and repeated headers first, and reads tables as sentences. 9 languages. Recordings become text with timestamps. Free to try.
