JustListen: YouTube as Podcast

Turn YouTube into something you can listen to.

JustListen converts available YouTube subtitles into speech, allowing you to listen without watching the screen. It is designed for videos where the spoken content matters more than the visuals, such as lectures, interviews, technology videos, business content, news commentary, and educational videos.

Listen while commuting, driving, walking, exercising, or doing household chores.

## YouTube, Like a Podcast

Have too many videos saved but not enough time to watch them?

With JustListen, you can turn supported YouTube subtitles into audio and listen to the content like a podcast. Simply paste a YouTube link or share a video directly to JustListen.

## How It Works

1. Find a YouTube video with available subtitles.
2. Copy the link or share it with JustListen.
3. JustListen retrieves the available subtitle text.
4. The subtitles are converted into speech.
5. Listen without keeping your eyes on the screen.

## Designed for Information-Based Videos

JustListen works best with videos such as:

• Lectures and educational content
• Interviews and discussions
• Technology and software videos
• Business and finance content
• Self-development videos
• News and current-affairs commentary
• Reviews and explanatory videos

Videos that rely heavily on visuals, music, demonstrations, gameplay, or on-screen graphics may be less suitable.

## Listen Without Watching

Use JustListen when you cannot or do not want to watch a screen.

• During your commute
• While driving
• While walking or exercising
• While cooking or cleaning
• Before going to sleep
• Whenever you want to reduce screen time

Spend less time looking at the screen while continuing to learn and stay informed.

## Your Personal Listening Library

Save converted videos in your library and return to them later.

Keep useful lectures, interviews, and informational videos organized in one place, resume listening from where you stopped, and build your own personal audio queue.

## Comfortable Playback

JustListen is built for listening-focused use.

Depending on the supported features available in your version, you can use playback controls, adjust listening speed, follow the subtitle text, and continue listening in the background.

## A Different Way to Listen to YouTube

JustListen does not play or extract the original audio track from a YouTube video.

Instead, it uses available subtitle text and converts that text into synthesized speech. The listening experience may therefore differ from the original video.

Subtitle availability and accuracy depend on the subtitles provided for each YouTube video. Some videos may not have supported subtitles, and automatically generated subtitles may contain errors.

## Important Notes

• A supported subtitle track is required.
• Some videos may not be available due to subtitle, regional, privacy, age, or platform restrictions.
• Live streams and some short-form or restricted videos may not be supported.
• Visual information, music, sound effects, and speaker emotion from the original video are not included in subtitle-based speech.
• JustListen is an independent application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

Turn videos you do not have time to watch into something you can listen to.
