Question 1

Can VoiceBrief turn a Word document into audio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for modern Word documents saved as .docx. This page stores the selected .docx in your browser long enough to reopen the authenticated uploader, where you confirm the upload and continue into the normal VoiceBrief document workflow. Review the resulting extracted document and narration before relying on the output or generating additional study assets.

Question 2

Does Word to audio mean DOCX to MP3 too?

Accepted Answer

The same signed-in document workflow covers Word to audio, DOCX to audio, DOCX to MP3, and listening to a Word document online. Free is only for the saved preview tier: 1 saved document preview and 3 monthly preview minutes in-app. Full-length audio and downloadable MP3 export require Pro at $19.99/month for new customers.

Question 3

Do you upload the Word file before I sign in?

Accepted Answer

No. The selected .docx stays browser-local in IndexedDB for up to 30 minutes so the dashboard can restore it after sign-up or sign-in. The filename and document contents are not placed in the landing-page URL or pre-auth analytics events. Server upload starts only after you confirm the restored document in the dashboard options dialog.

Question 4

Why .docx only and not old .doc?

Accepted Answer

VoiceBrief's current Word extraction path is built around modern .docx files. Older .doc files are a separate legacy format and are out of scope for this landing page. Save the document as .docx first, then use this workflow.

Question 5

What parts of a Word document may not narrate well?

Accepted Answer

Word documents can contain layout tricks, floating images, charts, complex tables, tracked changes, and decorative formatting that do not translate cleanly to speech. Review the resulting extracted document and narration before relying on the output or generating additional study assets, especially for visually dense reports, worksheets, or templates.

Question 6

What can I do after the DOCX is restored in the dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Once the dashboard restores the file, you can use the same document workflow as other supported uploads: Audiobook, Professor, Summary, quizzes, flashcards, slides, and chat. Free is for the saved Audiobook preview. Pro unlocks the broader toolkit, full-length audio, and MP3 export.
