Research Paper to Podcast Audio
Free to start. No card needed.
Turn a research paper into a listenable two-host discussion of its argument — bounded by the text you paste, exported as MP3 with captions.
“It's fast and dead simple to use: paste your text, pick a voice, done. No fuss, no learning curve.”
“VocalLab AI nailed the process, and the output is better. Way better. I love the ability to steer voices and ease of adding emotions/ sighs/ coughs.”

Bounded by the source
The discussion stays inside what you paste, which is what keeps a summary from becoming an overstatement.Two roles, not one summary
A claim and a challenge is a better shape for a technical argument than a single confident narrator.Editable before voicing
The script is text first, so a mischaracterised finding is a keystroke to fix rather than a re-record.Captions for citation
The SRT gives you a timestamped text version to quote from or link into.

About this tool
Everything you need to know about Research Paper to Podcast Audio
Papers are written to be defensible, not to be listened to, which is why reading one aloud produces something nobody finishes. Paste the abstract and the sections that matter and two hosts talk through the argument instead — what was claimed, what would follow if it held, where the paper hedges. Nothing is added: the hosts stay inside the text you supply, so a discussion cannot overstate a finding the paper did not make.

FAQ
Research Paper to Podcast Audio — FAQ
Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai
Will it summarise the paper accurately?
It works from the text you paste and is told to invent nothing, but it is not peer review. Read the script before publishing anything factual.
Should I paste the whole paper?
No. Abstract, results and limitations carry the argument; methods detail and references add length without adding anything a listener uses.
Can it handle equations and notation?
Poorly, as would any voice. Rewrite anything mathematical into words before generating.
Can I credit the authors in the episode?
Add the citation to the script yourself. Nothing is attributed automatically, and getting attribution wrong is worse than omitting it.
Can I use the audio commercially?
Yes. All VocalLab audio includes full commercial rights — monetized videos, ads, client work, all covered. No attribution needed.

Start from a topic or a script, pick two hosts and export the episode. Free to start.
