Like many people, I have a growing list of books I want to read but never enough time to finish them. Even when I do, I often forget the key ideas or struggle to find the answers I'm looking for.
That's why I built Readio.
Readio is an AI reading companion designed to make learning easier. Instead of replacing books with short summaries, it helps you listen, understand, and explore ideas in a more natural way. You can discover books, listen anywhere, ask questions, and dive deeper whenever curiosity strikes.
My goal isn't to help people read more books. It's to help more people truly understand them.
👋 Hi everyone, I'm excited to finally share Readio with you.
The idea started from a simple frustration: there are so many great books, but I rarely have enough time to finish them.
I kept wondering:
What if every book could become conversation and read aloud?
Instead of just reading, what if you could listen anywhere, ask questions, explore ideas, and understand books at your own pace?
That's why I built Readio—an AI reading companion that lets you listen to books, dive deeper into ideas, and get instant answers whenever you're curious.
This is just the beginning, and I'd genuinely love your feedback.
If you could add one feature to make reading more enjoyable, what would it be?
Typed in a random topic and got a pretty solid book rec with a natural sounding script, all right in my browser without any install. Nice for background listening when I don't want to fiddle with an app.
@keremkorni1924 Thanks so much! I'm really happy to hear it worked well even with a random topic. Making it effortless—just open the browser, explore an idea, and start listening—has been one of the main goals from day one. Thanks for giving it a try!
the natural voice reading surprised me, way less robotic than i expected, and being able to just paste a topic and get a script is genuinely useful for long drives.
@baranmy7v Thanks so much! I'm glad the voice exceeded your expectations. If there are any topics or books you'd love to see improved, I'd really love to hear your suggestions. Your feedback helps shape what we build next!
