Give your class the readings as audio — no student logins required.
For professors, instructors, and teachers: turn your assigned readings, articles, and handouts into MP3s your students can listen to. You make the audio and share it; they just press play. No student accounts, no roster setup, no IT ticket. No subscription.
The reading you assign is the reading half your class doesn't get to — either because it's long, or because sitting down with dense text is the hard part for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or vision needs, and for the ones who simply learn better by ear. And when an accessible version is requested, it often means waiting on a conversion service.
Harkable turns any assigned text — a PDF, a Word doc, an article, your own handout — into a clean MP3 in minutes. Drop it in your LMS, email it, or share a folder. Because there are no student accounts and no roster to wire up, there's nothing for your students or your IT team to set up: you convert it, they listen. Suddenly the whole class can get through the reading on a commute, a walk, or however they take things in best.
It works for you, too — your own PD reading, curriculum, research papers, and committee packets, heard on the drive instead of piling up. Pay-as-you-go means there's no per-seat license to justify: convert what you need, credits never expire, and it scales the same whether you're one instructor or a whole department.
How educators use Harkable
Make assigned readings accessible
Give students with dyslexia, ADHD, or vision needs — and anyone who learns by ear — the same reading as audio. Meet an accommodation request in minutes instead of waiting on a conversion service.
The reading half the class skips
A dense chapter or a long article that never quite gets read. Hand out an audio version and it actually gets done — on the bus, on a walk, at the gym.
No accounts, no setup
You convert the reading and drop the MP3 into your LMS, an email, or a shared folder. Students just press play — no logins, no rosters, no IT involvement.
Custom materials with no audiobook
Your own handout, a course packet, a primary source, a case — the exact material you teach from, which no publisher sells as audio. Turn it into audio yourself.
Your own prep and PD
Curriculum, research papers, and committee documents. Convert them and listen while you commute or grade, so the reading load stops eating your evenings.
What this typically costs
For an individual educator, light use is free (two MP3s a month), and a semester of converting readings typically runs a modest amount from one-time credit packs starting at $5 that never expire. There's no per-seat subscription — for a department or school it scales by usage, not by headcount, with nothing to license per student.
What Harkable doesn't do
- An LMS integration or rostered platform — you make the MP3 and share it yourself (that's the point: zero setup, no IT).
- A student-login product — students don't need accounts to listen, and per-student authentication isn't part of this.
- A published-audiobook library (for those, your library's services or Audible are the right fit).
- OCR on scanned, image-only pages (we read text-based files, which most course materials and exports already are).
