Seymour Read me. See more.

Save it. Seymour reads it to you.

Articles, YouTube videos, podcast audio files and newsletters go into one queue. Seymour strips each one back to the words, narrates it, lights every word as it is spoken, and files the piece the moment you reach the end.

Save It. Save from the Chrome extension, a bookmarklet in any browser, or an email to your own address. It lands on top of your queue, cleaned up to the words.

Hear It. Seymour reads it to you, and each word lights as it is spoken. Click any word and the voice starts there.

Today's Listen. One button plays a mix from your own queue: the newest arrival, a couple of quick wins, then the rest.

Finish It. Reach the end and the piece files itself into your Archive. The queue holds only what is still waiting.

Sound is off until you turn it on. The voice is Seymour's own, reading Thoreau. Try it yourself with the sample articles.

The Loop

Save it, hear it, and it leaves.

The same four steps, slower. Each one plays as you scroll past it.

  1. Save It

    Save from wherever you are reading.

    Save from the Chrome extension, a bookmarklet in any browser, or an email to your own address, or paste a link if that is what you have. It lands on top of your queue as a clean page: the words, without the furniture around them.

  2. Hear It

    Every save is a narration, too.

    Seymour reads each piece aloud in its own voice and lights the word being spoken, so your eyes can join in whenever they like. Start it on one screen and finish it on another: the playhead is where you left it.

  3. Today's Listen

    One button, about thirty-five minutes.

    Each day Seymour builds a mix out of your unread queue: whatever you saved last, the short ones that get the queue moving, then a shuffle of what is waiting. It leaves out anything you have finished.

  4. Finish It

    Reach the end and it files itself.

    The piece moves to your Archive and the Feeding Log notes the stretch you heard. Nothing to tidy: the queue holds what is still worth your time, and nothing else.

Now do it yourself, with the sample articles.

Ways In

Three doors,
one queue.

The point of a read-it-later app is that saving costs nothing. Whatever you are holding, there is a way in that takes one tap.

The Chrome extension

One click on the toolbar, or a right-click on a link. It ships the rendered page for the same reason.

The bookmarklet

Safari, Firefox, Arc, a borrowed laptop. Nothing to install and nothing to paste: it saves as you, through the session you already have.

Your own address

Forward anything to your private save address, or point a newsletter subscription straight at it. What arrives becomes an article.

The Listening

A voice you can live with.

Text to speech is easy to ship and hard to live with. These are the four things that decide whether you keep listening to it past the first article.

Follow-along you can steer

Each word lights as it is spoken, so your eyes and ears stay on the same line. Tap any paragraph and the voice jumps there, with an Undo if you did not mean it.

A sleep timer that waits for the end

Stop in fifteen minutes, in two hours, or when the article ends, so a listen at bedtime never cuts off mid-sentence. Speed runs from 0.8× to 2×, in tenths.

Voices, and a pool of them

Pick the voices you like and each new piece takes one at random, so a queue of twelve articles does not sound like one long monologue. Non English pieces narrate in their own language.

Speed reading, when looking is faster

One word at a time, at the pace you set. Faster than any voice when you have the screen in front of you.

What Comes Out

Reading that leaves a trace.

A queue you empty is worth nothing if the good part empties with it. Everything you mark leaves in a form that outlives the queue it came from.

The notebook
Select any passage to highlight it, and add a note if it needs one. A note attaches to the paragraph it belongs to, not to the article, so it still makes sense a month later.
To your reader
Any article exports as a real EPUB for Kobo, Apple Books or Send-to-Kindle. Highlights and notes export as Markdown, all of them or one article's worth, ready to drop into an Obsidian vault.
To your own tools
Your whole library is open to your own scripts and tools with a personal token from Settings: search it, read it and add to it.

The Feeding Log

What was that thing last night?

A readable diary of what you read and heard: where each stretch started, where it stopped, and how it ended.

Every stretch
Paused, switched, jumped, or heard to the end. Click any range and playback resumes right there.
Every change
Added, archived, favorited, deleted. One line each, carrying the title as it read at the time.
Sixty days
Then the sweep takes it, because a diary you cannot finish reading is not a diary.

Today this one is real

Nothing yet. Turn the sound on in the film at the top of this page and let one sentence finish: it shows up here, written the way Seymour writes one.
