A case, three readings, and a full-time job. Listen to the prep.
Harkable turns case studies, HBR articles, and pre-reads into MP3s you can play on the commute, at the gym, or between meetings — so you show up to class prepared without stealing the hours you don't have. No subscription. No app. Just the file.
An MBA — especially part-time or executive — is a reading load stacked on top of a career and a life. A 20-page case, two HBR readings, and a note deck, due before a class you're attending after a full workday. Something gets skimmed, and cold-call roulette does the rest.
Harkable folds the prep into time you're already spending. Drop the case or reading in, pick a voice, and a few minutes later you have an MP3. Listen on the commute or the treadmill and walk into class having actually absorbed the case, ready to contribute instead of hoping the discussion skips you.
Pay-as-you-go fits the term: quiet weeks are free (two MP3s a month), and a heavy module runs a few dollars from a one-time credit pack that never expires — no subscription humming along between semesters or over the summer internship.
Where it fits for a working MBA
The case you didn't get to at the office
Convert the case and listen on the drive to class. You arrive knowing the protagonist's decision and the numbers, ready for the cold call instead of skimming exhibits in the parking lot.
HBR readings and note decks
Turn the week's readings into audio for the gym or the commute. Frameworks stick better on a second, hands-free pass than on a rushed first skim at midnight.
Group-project docs and pre-reads
Convert the team's memo or the pre-read before the group call so everyone's actually on the same page — and you're not the one who didn't read it.
Turning study time into commute time
If your program is part-time, the commute is your only free block. Loading it with the week's audio is often the difference between keeping up and falling behind.
Proof your own memos and essays
Hear your application essay, a strategy memo, or a recommendation write-up read back — the muddled sentence and the buzzword pileup are obvious by ear.
What this typically costs
Light weeks: $0 (two free MP3s a month). A heavy module of cases and readings runs about $5–$15 from a one-time credit pack that starts at $5 and never expires, paid in increments, with no subscription between terms.
What Harkable doesn't do
- A case-analysis or summary tool — it reads the full case aloud faithfully; the thinking is yours.
- A substitute for the cases you're presenting — this is for the volume around them.
- OCR on scanned, image-only PDFs (we read text-based files, which most case PDFs and readings are).
- Highlight-along reading in your browser (Edge Read Aloud does that, free).
