Narrato turns the files you already have into clear, natural audio — in English or any of 12 languages. Here's where it is most useful.

🌍
Translation & multilingual delivery
Add a language and Narrato translates the document, then narrates it in a natural voice for that language. One upload becomes a usable audio asset in Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, and more — at $9.99 per language.

🏢
Business, HR & training
Employee handbooks, compliance training, safety manuals, and policy updates — delivered as audio to a multilingual workforce. Re-narrate in minutes when the source document changes.
● Clear reading
📚

Listen to your own manuscript before publishing, catch awkward phrasing by ear, turn a long PDF report into a podcast-style listen, or produce audio drafts of stories and memoirs for friends and family.

Narrato translates and narrates in 12 languages — Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, and Indonesian.

Questions

Frequently asked

What can I use Narrato for? +
Anything you'd rather listen to than read. Common uses: authors proof-listening to manuscripts, students converting reading assignments to study audio, professionals reviewing long documents on the road, companies producing audio versions of policies and training, and teams creating translated audio versions of documents in any of 12 languages.
What file formats do you accept? +
We accept PDF, DOCX (Microsoft Word), and plain text (.txt) files. Most documents work without preparation — Narrato handles the text extraction.
How does the language translation work? +
When you add a language, Narrato translates your document and then narrates the translated version in a natural voice for that language. Each language produces its own complete MP3 file. Add as many languages as you need at $9.99 each — Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, and Indonesian are all available.
How long does conversion take? +
Short documents are typically done in under 5 minutes. Longer documents take 8–15 minutes per language. You'll see live progress on screen and receive an email when everything is ready.
Can Narrato support accessibility workflows? +
Yes. Narrato produces clear, consistent narration that can support accessibility workflows for training documents, educational content, public notices, and other materials. Compliance requirements vary by organization, so regulated teams should review outputs against their own standards.
Can professional or regulated teams use Narrato? +
Yes, but do not upload sensitive regulated material into the self-serve flow unless your organization has approved that workflow. Teams with healthcare, legal, government, or other regulated needs can request a custom setup from the Enterprise page.
Can I use Narrato for legal documents? +
Yes. Attorneys and staff can use Narrato to listen to contracts, briefs, motions, and long case documents while driving between courts and clients. For client-facing or translated legal material, review the output before sharing and follow your firm's normal approval process.
Do you own my document or audio? +
No. The document you upload and the MP3 we generate are yours. Use the audio privately, share it with collaborators, students, clients, or staff, or distribute it where your rights and platform rules allow. No subscription, no royalties.
How much does it cost? +
Narrato charges a one-time flat fee based on document length — from $9.99 for short documents up to $29.99 for very long ones (over 120,000 words). Each additional language is $9.99. No subscriptions or recurring fees.
What if I'm not happy with the result? +
We offer a free re-run with a different voice if you're not satisfied. Contact us within 7 days of your order.
Built for professionals

The same tool, four very different jobs

Narrato isn't a single-purpose tool. The same upload-and-convert flow handles a textbook chapter for a student, a discharge form for a hospital, a contract for a law firm, and a multilingual handout for a public-health team. The voice is consistent, the cost is predictable, and the audio is usable the moment it's done.

  • 🎓Students — convert reading assignments and textbook chapters into audio. Study while commuting, exercising, or doing chores.
  • 📚Authors — convert a manuscript to MP3 and proof-listen before publishing. Hearing the draft catches awkward phrasing that reading misses.
  • ⚖️Legal — listen to contracts, briefs, and long documents on the road. Review client-facing or translated material before sharing.
  • 🌍Translation — one upload becomes a translated, narrated MP3 in any of 12 languages, $9.99 each. No separate translator + voice-actor workflow.
The math — manuscript proof-listening
Studio narration for an 80k-word book $2,000+
Narrato — same manuscript as private MP3 $19.99
Add Spanish translation + narration +$9.99
Add Mandarin translation + narration +$9.99
Total — English + Spanish + Mandarin $39.97
