The Reading Problem Nobody Talks About

You know the feeling.

An important article lands in your inbox. You want to read it. You need to read it. But:

  • Your eyes are tired (you've been staring at screens all day)
  • Your brain feels scattered (too much competing for attention)
  • The font is tiny (who writes like this?)
  • You're dyslexic / ADHD / ESL / neurodivergent (reading just costs more energy)
  • You're on your commute, or cooking, or walking (your hands are full; your eyes need a break)

So you don't read it. Tomorrow, you skip it. By next week, you feel guilty for falling behind.

This isn't laziness. This is reality.

The web was built for readers with a single way of reading.

Most of us don't read that way. We read by listening. We read while multitasking. We read in ways that work for our brains.

But the tools to support this? They've been clunky, robotic, expensive, or patronizing for way too long.

What if there was another way?

What if the text on the web could sound natural—like a real person reading to you? What if it worked on every webpage, with zero setup? What if you could try it free, today, with no credit card?

You're about to meet HearIQ.

How HearIQ Works in 3 Simple Steps

Hover over any paragraph on the web. The text highlights. A play button appears.

Ready to Read Differently?

The web isn't going to change. Websites will keep using tiny fonts. Blogs will stay cluttered. Articles will keep trying to steal your attention.

But your reading experience can transform today.

HearIQ is free. It takes 30 seconds to install. Works on every site you visit. And the moment you try it?

You'll wonder how you ever read without it.

No credit card. No commitment. No regret.

Just better reading. On your terms.

P.S. — We're a small team that got tired of waiting for the accessibility world to move faster. So we built it ourselves.

This isn't a polished corporate tool. It's a labor of love from people who live this problem daily.

That means we care deeply about every detail. Accessibility. Privacy. Speed. Community.

If that resonates with you, tell a friend. Vote us up on Product Hunt. Hit us up on Twitter.

We're just getting started.

— The HearIQ Team

P.P.S. — Still have questions? We're usually hanging out in our Discord. Come say hi.

Questions? We Have Answers.

Is this just another robot voice?

You're right to be skeptical. Old TTS sounded like a Speak & Spell from 1985.

HearIQ uses advanced AI voice technology with 130+ voices across 3+ languages. Each one sounds like a human who's actually reading to you, not reading at you.

Different tool. Different technology. Different sound.

Will it slow down my browser?

Valid concern. We obsessed over performance.

HearIQ:

  • 2MB total extension size (comparable to adblocker)
  • Lazy-loads voices only when needed
  • Uses browser-native caching (zero repeated downloads)
  • <500ms response time, even on slow 3G

Real test? Install it. Open Chrome Task Manager (Shift+Esc). Watch it. We're not power-hungry.

What about my privacy?

Privacy isn't a feature for us. It's a founding principle.

Here's what HearIQ does NOT do:

  • ❌ No tracking pixels
  • ❌ No data resale
  • ❌ No cookies following you across the web
  • ❌ No usage analytics sent to our servers
  • ❌ No behavior profiling

Here's what happens with your data:

  • ✓ Your voice preferences are encrypted in your browser
  • ✓ We store only: email (for premium), payment (Stripe handles it)
  • ✓ We never know what you're reading
  • ✓ Our source code is open-source—audit us
Is this just for disabled people?

Here's what our beta testers taught us:

  • 40% are dyslexic, ADHD, neurodivergent (accessibility use case)
  • 30% are students trying to keep up with reading loads
  • 15% are ESL learners worried about pronunciation
  • 10% are productivity nuts who read while working out, cooking, or commuting
  • 5% are parents looking for alternatives to screen time

Everyone needs HearIQ for different reasons. But they all get the same benefit: reclaiming time and attention.

It's not "assistive tech." It's just... better tech.

Why should I pay $39/year for premium?

You don't have to. Free is actually great:

  • 2 high-quality natural voices
  • Unlimited usage
  • Full keyboard navigation
  • Privacy-first design

That said, here's why premium users rave:

  • 130+ Voices vs. 2 - Find a voice that matches your mood, your task
  • Faster Processing - Premium routes through our fastest servers. <300ms vs. <500ms
  • Dark Theme + Offline Mode
  • The Math - $39/year = $0.11/day = less than a coffee

Try free. See how much you use it. If premium's right for you, upgrade. If not? Zero pressure.
