AI voices that sound human

We pair the most natural AI voices available with our optimization layer. Even the best voices stumble on raw text, so we adapt each article until numbers, prices and dates sound natural.

It works from your first article and fixes the most common mistakes for you. For anything that still sounds wrong, like names, brands or places, you can adjust how it's pronounced.

languages and accents

  • Dr. Smith: “Doctor Smith”
  • $4.5M: “four point five million dollars”

No. The products load asynchronously, so they don't hold up the rest of your page. Their code is a small file that downloads quickly, and browsers cache it for 30 days, so only first-time visitors download it.

Your articles stay yours. Powerbeans doesn't gain ownership of them by processing them, and you can use the audio generated for you on your sites. The details are in our Terms.

The Audio Player and Playlist come with ad slots, and Powerbeans fills them through Google MCM and 35+ SSPs. You keep 50% of the revenue, or 70% on Enterprise. Eligible publishers can use Free via Ads: ad revenue covers the plan, with no credit card needed. How monetization works

Yes. It works with the IAB TCF consent signals from your consent tool, and your readers' consent decides what is stored. We provide a Data Processing Agreement, and the products meet WCAG 2.2 AA.
