Prep for the meeting while you’re on the move.
Management and strategy consultants live in dense documents — client briefs, RFPs, industry reports, decks, and your own deliverables. Harkable turns them into natural-voice MP3s you can review on the drive, on a flight, or between meetings. No subscription. No app. Just the file.
The reading always outpaces the desk time. A new engagement lands with a stack of background docs, the client's 80-page annual report, three analyst notes, and the deck you're supposed to have reviewed before the 8am call. There is no version of the week where you sit and read all of it — so most of it gets skimmed, and the rest gets bluffed.
Harkable is the better answer. Drop in the brief, RFP, report, deck notes, or pasted text, pick a natural voice, and a few minutes later you have an MP3. Long reports are processed automatically in sections. Listen on the commute, the flight, or the treadmill, and arrive at the meeting having actually absorbed the material instead of skimming the exec summary in the elevator.
Pay-as-you-go fits how consultants actually work. Your reading load spikes at the start of an engagement and goes quiet between — so you pay for the weeks you're heads-down and nothing the weeks you're not. Two MP3s a month are free, credits never expire, and a $5–$10 pack is a line item you expense once, not a yearly SaaS seat that renews whether you touch it or not.
The moments consultants actually use Harkable
Prep for the client meeting on the drive in
Convert the brief, RFP, or background memo the night before and listen on the way in. You walk into the room fluent in the material instead of skimming it in the parking lot.
The industry reports you never have desk time for
Market research, analyst notes, whitepapers, the trend report everyone's referencing. Queue them up and get through the stack on your commute instead of letting it pile up unread.
Onboarding onto a new client's world
A new engagement means a pile of background docs, past deliverables, and domain PDFs. Absorb the context by ear in your first week instead of trying to find desk hours that don't exist.
Review your own deliverable before it ships
Listening to your report or proposal draft out loud is the fastest way to catch the clunky sentence, the unclear point, and the paragraph that lands wrong — before the client reads it, not after.
A client's long financial or annual report
A 10-K, an annual report, a diligence pack. Hear the whole thing on a flight and come away with the shape of it, rather than skimming to the tables and hoping.
What this typically costs a consultant
Most weeks: $0 — two free MP3s a month cover light use. During a heads-down engagement week you might convert several briefs and reports, around $5–$10 total out of a one-time credit pack that never expires. It's a single expense line, not a recurring subscription draining your account between projects, and you only pay for the weeks you're actually reading.
What Harkable doesn't do
- Confidential client material you aren't cleared to upload — check your engagement's data rules first. (Text is sent to the text-to-speech processor to make the audio and then discarded; see our privacy policy.)
- A polished, human-narrated deliverable — this is a single natural AI voice for your own listening and review, not a produced recording for a client.
- OCR on scanned, image-only PDFs — we read text-based files, which most reports and briefs already are.
- Real-time highlight-along reading inside your browser — a read-aloud extension does that; Harkable hands you a file you keep.
