Hear your script before you hit record.
Harkable reads your script, intro, or show notes back in a natural voice — so you catch the clunky transition and the sentence you'll stumble over before you're in the booth. It also turns your research reading into audio for the drive. No subscription. No app.
A script that reads clean on the page can fight you in the booth — the sentence that runs out of air, the transition that jerks, the phrase your mouth trips on every take. You usually find them the hard way: mid-record, on take four, patience gone.
Harkable moves that discovery earlier. Paste the script, pick a voice, and a few minutes later you have an MP3 of the whole thing. Play it back and you'll hear exactly where it drags, where a line is a mouthful, and where the energy dips — and fix it while it's still a draft, so the record session is smoother and shorter.
It works for the input side too: turn the articles and reports you're researching for an episode into audio and get through them on a walk. Pay-as-you-go, no subscription — two MP3s a month are free, and a production week runs a few dollars from a pack that never expires.
Where it fits in a show's workflow
Table-read your script solo
Hear the whole script out loud before you record. Pacing, transitions, and the lines you'll fumble all surface — fix them and cut your take count.
Nail the intro and outro
The parts listeners hear every episode deserve to sound right. Hear your cold open and outro read back and tighten the rhythm before it becomes your show's signature.
Research reading, hands-free
Prepping an episode means reading a stack of articles and reports. Convert them and get through the research on a drive or a run instead of at the desk.
Check your show notes and scripts for ads
Ad reads and sponsor copy have to sound natural, not stiff. Hear them first so the spot flows like you talking, not like you reading.
Guest prep and briefs
Turn a guest's book chapter or bio into audio and absorb it on the way to the studio, so you walk in genuinely prepared for the conversation.
What this typically costs
A single script or set of show notes is often free (two MP3s a month). A busy production week — scripts plus research reading — runs a few dollars from a one-time credit pack starting at $5 that never expires. No monthly subscription between episodes.
What Harkable doesn't do
- A production voice for your actual episode — it's for hearing and refining the script, not a broadcast host track.
- An editing, hosting, or distribution tool — it does one thing: text into audio you can review.
- A script or content generator — it reads what you wrote; the writing is yours.
- OCR on scanned files (paste your script or upload a text-based doc).
