Reading and listening at the same time isn't a hack.

It's also not just for students with dyslexia. It's actually how all of our brains prefer to take in beautiful stories, lots of important data, and gain more knowledge.

Studies have shown that combining visual and auditory input improves retention by up to 40% compared to reading alone. It's called dual coding theory, and it explains why audiobooks feel easier but you forget the details. In audiobooks or traditional reading aids, you hear the words, but you need to keep full attention to stay anchored so you don't lose track or get overwhelmed. For this reason, many people either choose one or the other, but not both.

That's where Mira Reader comes in.

What if you don't have to choose between reading and listening, and can actually combine them for any piece of text, both at home and on the road?

The text-to-speech with word-synced highlighting gives you both channels at once. Your eyes follow along while your ears process the rhythm and tone. You stay focused longer, skip less, and actually remember what you are reading.

This isn't assistive technology repurposed for the mainstream.

It's a fundamentally better way to read. Whether you're reviewing a research paper, catching up with the morning news, or reading a long report from your coworker while preparing your lunch. You can do it all with Mira Reader.

Sadly, most reading tools out there are stuck in the past.

Either old reading aids built for high school students with dyslexia, or half-working apps that expect you to pay a lot of money for technology from ten years ago. Some have decent text-to-speech but the highlighting is a basic rectangle flashing word to word, with zero customisation, zero polish. Others improve the reading experience with better fonts and layouts but sound like a GPS from 2012.

Mira Reader was built differently.

The text highlighting flows naturally with the voice, it's a smooth visual guide that makes your eyes want to follow along. The voices sound like actual people, not an AI trying to sound human. And it works everywhere. Paste any text into the web reader, install the browser extension for articles and docs, or drop in a PDF.

It was built from the ground up with user customisation and website-specific optimisation in mind. Whether it's Slack messages from your coworkers, a ChatGPT response, or an essay you're reviewing for school, the experience works as expected. And if something breaks on a specific site, we go in and fix it for your use case.

We're even adding a writing mode that lets you quickly proofread anything you're writing by hearing it read out loud. Here at Mira, we believe in empowering users to create more, achieve more, and dream bigger, in an age where many people are turning to AI to write and think for them, it's the people who learn to express themselves and share their own lived experiences that will stand out.

So try Mira Reader today.
