About

Who we are

GoReader hopes to give everyone access to well researched and well written articles from journalists around the world. We use customized text to speech technology (TTS) to convert each written article into audio for easy listening while on the go. Users can personalise their playlist by choosing publishers, topics or searching by keywords. To make GoReader even easier, we use AI to improve your listening experience. Get started today by downloading GoReader in the App Store.

Why we do it

We believe that there is a large segment of the population that wants to listen to professionally written articles while they go about their busy day.

How we do it

We use TTS (Text to Speech) technology to convert each written article to an audio file that is then read to listeners using a range of digital voices. Users personalize their listening experience by choosing publishers, sorting by topic, selecting specific articles, or searching by keywords. We use AI to refine a user’s experience by listing articles that are similar to their listening history.
