Show HN: Shareholdr – Listen to Startup Essays (apps.apple.com)
1 points by Ti_Morse 919 days ago
Hi everyone!

A little background – I'm dyslexic and have always wanted to listen to PG's essays. A month ago, I was testing ElevenLabs and realized TTS had gotten really good.

So, over the past month, I spent a bunch of time cleaning essays (removing things like: — _ % $ = +) to make the audio translations sound good and working with my cofounder to build an app. We currently have essays by Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen, and will work to add more quickly.

We made this for founders and it's free to use (also no sign-up).

Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions!
