Level the playing field with audio-first learning that bypasses reading difficulties and unlocks your potential.
Step-by-Step Guide
Upload Your Materials — Upload textbooks and readings that you need to study. VoiceBrief handles the reading for you.
Use Read-Along Mode — Enable text highlighting to see words highlighted as they're spoken, reinforcing the visual-audio connection. Tip: Read-along mode helps build sight word recognition over time.
Start with Summaries — Listen to AI summaries first to get the big picture before tackling the full text.
Adjust Speed as Needed — Slow down to 0.75x for difficult material or speed up to 1.25x for review sessions. Tip: Most dyslexic students find 0.9x to 1.1x is the sweet spot for comprehension.
Use Voice Chat for Clarification — When a passage is confusing, ask the AI to explain it in different words or simpler terms.
