Show HN: Conduit – Turn large text files into listenable audio

https://conduit-landing-page-git-master-tobys-projects-a638df7e.vercel.app/
3•tboneskibs•11h ago
Hey HN,

I built Conduit to solve my own problem: I have a lot of long documents I want to read, but I retain better by listening.

Most tools for turning text into audio are clunky, slow, or require lots of manual formatting (copy/paste, upload to another platform, tweak settings, etc.). I wanted something that just worked.

So I built Conduit — a simple tool that turns large text files (ebooks, blog posts, PDFs, etc.) into listenable audio in seconds using realistic AI voices.

It’s currently just a waitlist and demo landing page, but I’d love early feedback: - Does this scratch an itch for anyone else? - What formats or features would make this useful to you? - Any blockers that would keep you from using something like this?

Link: https://conduit-landing-page-git-master-tobys-projects-a638d...

Thanks in advance — happy to answer questions or share how it’s built.
