Why Tider

Not another read-aloud tool

Tider doesn't just read your text. It writes, produces, and delivers a tailored audio experience.

🎙️
Custom Narrator Persona Unique to Tider

Tell the AI to sound like a BBC journalist, a YC partner, or a friendly senior engineer. Every audio is shaped to a voice you actually want to listen to — not a generic robot.

🎧
Two-Person Podcast From Your Docs Unique to Tider

Pick your host and guest voices, format, and style. Tider turns any document into a natural back-and-forth conversation — like having your notes explained to you by a podcast.

🟠Hacker News

🔴Reddit

Any subreddit has a feed at reddit.com/r/topic/.rss — great for niche communities.

📡Any website

Most blogs have /feed, /rss, or /rss.xml. If not, paste the URL and Tider's crawler will try to extract it.

How it works

Three steps to your first episode

01
Upload anything
Drop a PDF, DOCX, or paste a URL. Tider extracts and understands your content.
02
Set the tone
Choose narrator persona, audience, pacing, and format. Or skip it — smart defaults work great.
03
Press play
Your document becomes a rich audio episode, ready to stream on any device.

Voices

Eleven distinct voices. Infinite personas.

Mix and match host and guest voices to set exactly the right tone. A deep-voiced Marcus walking through strategy sounds nothing like a warm Sage doing a solo narrative deep-dive.
