Frequently asked questions
Everything about listening to markdown files.
- How do I convert a markdown file to audio?
- Upload the .md file on the AudioDoc home page. The text is split into sections and segments, narrated with the AI voice you pick, and streams as it's generated. Free, no account needed.
- Why listen to markdown instead of reading it?
- Markdown is where notes, drafts, and documentation live. Listening is a second pass with different attention: review meeting notes on a walk, proof a draft by ear, or absorb docs while your hands are busy.
- Does it work with Obsidian or Logseq notes?
- Yes. Any plain .md file works, including notes exported from Obsidian, Logseq, Notion, or Bear. Upload the file and it's narrated like any document.
- What happens to headings and formatting?
- Markdown structure is used to split the document into sections, and the text is read as clean prose — you don't hear symbols like hashes or asterisks.
- Can I just paste markdown text instead of uploading?
- Yes. For short notes, the free text-to-speech studio takes pasted text (up to 1,000 words per paste) and reads it instantly. For longer files, upload the .md document.
- Is it free for any amount of use?
- Yes. No subscription, no credit card, no word-count paywall. Guest uploads last 24 hours; a free account keeps them permanently.
