Hi everyone, I'm the maker of Mirent, launching here today.
Mirent is for people who have more to read than time or energy for it:
students working through a stack of papers, people with dyslexia or ADHD
who follow text better when they can hear it, researchers with PDFs and
Hi Product Hunt, maker here.
Mirent turns any document into an audiobook in seconds, and lights up each word as it is read.
Here is why that matters: only a tiny fraction of what people need to read ever gets recorded. Narrators are artists, and there will never be enough of them for every textbook, paper, report and essay. Mirent reads everything else.
Is an AI voice good enough? Judge for yourself. Sign up free at mirent.io, paste the driest document you own, and listen. The free tier covers it.
What you get:
- PDF, EPUB, article or scanned page. Reading starts in seconds.
- Every word highlighted as it is spoken. Look away, look back, you are on the exact word.
- Tap any sentence to jump there. 0.5x to 3x speed, no chipmunk pitch.
- Page numbers, running headers and split words are cleaned out first, so it sounds like a book, not a printout.
- Nine languages: English, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi.
- Reverse mode: drop in a recording, get timestamped text with speaker labels.
Why unlimited is real here: we run open voice models on our own GPUs instead of renting voices per character. Heavy listeners are our best customers, not our biggest cost.
Not yet: offline playback, and some multi-column PDFs need reading order fixed.
Free: 3 hours a month with highlighting. Unlimited: $3.99/month or $39.99/year.
What is the first thing on your list that was never going to get a narrator?
