The Challenge of Reading Academic Papers
Reading academic papers presents unique challenges that general text-to-speech tools simply can't handle. Dense scientific terminology like "pharmacokinetics" and "electroencephalography" gets mispronounced by standard TTS systems, forcing you to constantly pause and lose your reading flow. Meanwhile, citation interruptions turn smooth listening into a frustrating stop-and-start experience when you hear "[23, 45-47, 52]" after every sentence.
Graduate students and researchers face enormous reading loads—often 20-50 papers per week—while struggling with time constraints and accessibility barriers. Traditional tools make academic content consumption inefficient and exhausting, leaving you with surface-level understanding instead of the deep comprehension your research demands.
