What's new (v1.6)
Academic papers and reports now sound the way they read:
- Footnotes, superscript reference numbers, and citations like [12] or (Smith et al., 2020) are left out of the audio, so sentences flow instead of stopping for every reference.
- Reference lists, acknowledgements, funding statements, and tables of contents are skipped.
- Equations and table bodies, which never made sense read aloud, are dropped. Table captions stay.
- Page numbers and running headers no longer land in the middle of sentences, and words hyphenated across a line break are rejoined. This helps every PDF, books included.
- Section headings in papers become chapters you can skip between.
- New in Settings: "Skip Citations" also removes reference markers from text you paste. Turn it off if you'd rather hear them.
