About AmaNous

AmaNous turns any document, article, or PDF into a high-quality
listening experience — offline, with no word limits, and no
subscription required.

Import a research paper, a newsletter, a DOCX, or paste text.
Press play. Listen on your commute, at the gym, or anywhere
you have a few minutes. Your content goes with you.


── HOW IT WORKS ──

1. Import anything — PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, or paste
text directly from anywhere on your phone.

2. Press play — narration starts before the full document
finishes processing. No buffering wait on long reads.

3. Stay oriented — word-level highlighting tracks exactly where
you are. Seek anywhere, resume from anywhere.


── WHY IT'S ACTUALLY FREE ──

Most TTS apps hit a word limit because speech runs on their
servers — every word costs them money, so they charge you.

AmaNous runs on Kokoro-82M, the top-ranked open weights TTS
model on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard. It synthesises
speech on your device. There's no cloud cost to pass on.

That's why unlimited listening isn't a trial. It's just how
the product works.

No credit card. No word limits. No annual lock-in.


── FEATURES ──

OFFLINE LISTENING
Works in airplane mode, underground, anywhere. No connection
needed once your content is loaded.

WORD-LEVEL HIGHLIGHTING
Follow along visually while you listen. Never lose your place
in long documents.

PRECISE SEEKING
Jump to any point in a long article or paper. Seek-aware
synthesis means it feels responsive, not brittle.

MULTI-FORMAT SUPPORT
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, plain text. Built for
serious long-form content, not short clips.

SPEED CONTROL
Listen at your pace. Adjust playback speed to match your
focus level and material difficulty.

ACCESSIBILITY
Word highlighting, adjustable speed, and a listening-first
design that works for users with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision,
and anyone who absorbs information better through audio.

── WHO IT'S FOR ──

Auditory learners who retain more from listening than reading


── EARLY ACCESS ──

AmaNous is in beta on Android. You're joining early — which
means your feedback shapes what gets built next.

We're building something more ambitious beyond the listening
layer. But this — unlimited audio for any document you care
about — is the foundation, and it already works.

Happy listening.
