Looks amazing!

Such an awesome idea!!

@jordanodinsky Thanks Jordannn :-)

It sounds phenom but that is super-expensive (to me) even with the discount. Still I’m sure this will be big hit! Congrats on the launch!
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@mdraznin thanks michael! I understand that for sure. There are lots of free reader apps out there that use off-the-shelf text to speech, but we felt they were not good enough. The reason this has cost is in the human editing that gets added in to the AI, then make sure that you really learn and comprehend the material, the sound production quality, so using the best text to speech tech out there in addition with voice acting when needed, and last but not least actual audio production - music soundtrack or sounds to break the monotony. Hope that explains the cost, we’d love to bring it down and that is the idea. In the meantime maybe it’s something you can expense 😊

@mdraznin @michael_draz We've made two changes this past week to pricing - lowered prices a bit and added a free trial trial :-)
Alon Keren
@makers looks super helpful, anyway to demo 1 article?
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@makers @alon_keren If you download the Alpe app and search for a course name 'Conversion Kit' you'll find an example article - it's this article: https://www.nfx.com/post/network... I'd love to offer free samples of any article but at the moment it does cost us money to do for free, so just can't :-/
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@alon_keren we just added the functionality for a free trial!

Amazing concept @guyhadash @yehoshua_zlotogorski 👏 But I think the pricing is a bit too high at $12 per article. Congrats on the launch 🎉
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@guyhadash @rajat_dangi1 Thanks Rajat! I agree that $12 is a bit high and that's why we offered the $35 per month (which is $7 per article). We'd love to lower the price but at the moment can't do it feasibly from our end although hopefully at some point in the future :)

@yehoshua_zlotogorski great product but yes the pricing is a little too steep. Hopefully in a few quarters you will be able to bring it down as more users start using it.

Hey Product Hunt! Super super excited to launch Conversion Kit - something I wish I'd had during my studies, analyst days all the way through to today 🤩. If you find yourself needing to read material - articles, newsletters, research papers - but are short on time, well - Conversion Kit is for you! With Conversion Kit you can turn your must do readings into high quality on the go audio lessons. We use AI and human editors to transform the written text into an audio transcript that makes sense when you listen to it. No more of those awkward automated voices talking nonsense. Nope - Conversion Kit makes the transcript understandable, memorable and learnable in audio. Better yet, each converted material comes with a transcript, chapters, a summary and even flashcards so that you can really listen, learn and remember. Is it perfect? Nope - the AI still needs to improve and the automated voice does as well, but it's pretty darn good and will already save you loads of time! Would love to hear what you think! **Just for today, you can use the promo code PHconversions! for a 30% discount 🤗🤗

Liz Cohen
THANK YOU yes all I want is to close the unread tabs in my browser, all 39573897 of them, and listen to them when I'm driving.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@liz_cohen 39573897 tabs???
Liz Cohen
@yehoshua_zlotogorski Hell yeah, if you're not saving in-depth industry articles you'll never read, what are you even doing?
Malone
Nice! I’m excited to try this!
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@brooke_malone Awesome, please do!
Stewart Barrett
Amazing product - Excellent work here.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@stewup Thanks!!!
Atul Ghorpade
Product is amazing, no doubt! I just read few comments regarding pricing. So you charge per article? Frankly, I read so much stuff in one day. And I don't think users will pay for per article. There should be some changes. It's not affordable for people like me. I prefer reading. Can't add more.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@atulghorpade Thanks for the feedback Atul! As a fellow reader I think this is more appropriate to that long article you say you'll read but never get around to and need to print off to actually get through. We'd love to bring the price down and eventually will, the reason this has cost is in the human editing that gets added in to the AI, to make sure that you really learn and comprehend the material. The sound production quality, so using the best text to speech tech out there in addition with voice acting when needed, and last but not least actual audio production - music soundtrack or sounds to break the monotony. Hope that explains the cost, we’d love to bring it down and that is the idea. In the meantime maybe it’s something you can expense 😊

Mandi Galluch
This is super cool. Definitely something I will use if I ever return to a commute. Curious if you have looked at this as an accessibility solution?
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@mandi_galluch We definitely have and one of the powers of audio, although we haven't had any official partnerships as such
James Bender
Sounds amazing, can't wait to use it!
