Nothing competes with the sentence.Space to pause · Arrows to move
Document-aware parsing
It keeps what belongs in the voice.
Before narration begins, Spek turns a page made for print into a flow made for listening—all locally in your browser.
- 01
Find the real beginning
Academic papers can begin at the abstract or introduction, instead of reading every affiliation and contact detail first.
- 02
Clear the spoken clutter
Repeated headers, footers, page numbers, links, and technical identifiers stay out of the narration.
- 03
Make room for visuals
When a PDF page contains an image or an unreadable scan, Spek shows the page and waits until you are ready to continue.
