Text to Speech for Students
Turn textbooks, PDFs, and articles into audio — and follow along with word highlighting as you listen.
unChonk reads your course material aloud right in the browser so you can study faster, retain more, and get through dense readings without burning out. Pay-as-you-go, so it fits a student budget and a seasonal workload.
Study smarter by listening
Long textbooks and research papers are a slog when you only read them. Listening while the text is highlighted engages two senses at once, which helps you stay focused on dense material and remember more of it. It also lets you review notes hands-free — on a walk, on the bus, or while you handle other tasks — so study time fits into the gaps in your day.
Because unChonk highlights each sentence as it reads, you won't lose your place in a wall of text or re-read the same paragraph three times. You move through the reading at a steady pace and keep your momentum.
Made for real coursework
Textbooks & PDFs
Listen to assigned readings and PDF chapters without copy-pasting into another app.
Research papers
Get through long journal articles faster while following the highlighted text.
Revision & review
Re-listen to notes and summaries hands-free to reinforce what you've studied.
Priced for a student schedule
Student reading isn't constant — it spikes around midterms and finals and goes quiet over breaks. A year-round subscription keeps charging through all of it. unChonk is pay-as-you-go: you buy credits and only spend them when you actually read, so you're not paying during the weeks you're not studying.
See how the credits work on the no-subscription page, or check current packs on pricing.
