About Vrbtm
Vrbtm helps you get through dense documents without losing your place. Turn long PDFs, notes, drafts, articles, and pasted text into guided audio sessions with real-time sentence highlighting. Listen while you read, move through documents section by section, and return to the notes and highlights that mattered. Vrbtm is built for the documents you actually need to finish: research, reports, product briefs, study material, strategy docs, technical notes, and long articles. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a document Start with a PDF, text file, Markdown file, article, note, draft, or pasted text. 2. Read with your eyes and ears Vrbtm reads your document aloud while keeping the current sentence highlighted on screen. 3. Break long documents into sections Move through dense reading one focused section at a time instead of starting over every time. 4. Mark what matters Highlight important passages, capture notes, and flag sections that need follow-up. 5. Know what to read next Use your queue, library, progress, and review tools to keep moving through the documents that need your attention. WHY VRBTM • Stop re-reading the same page • Listen while the text stays visually anchored • Keep track of sections, progress, notes, and highlights • Return to important passages without starting over • Build a focused library for documents you care about • Keep private reading under your control BUILT FOR PRIVATE READING Vrbtm is designed around private, local-first reading.
