Great conversations run long. Their best ideas don't have to. Hear the summary On narrated episodes, tap uListen at the top of the summary to hear its key ideas, then a summary of each chapter, read aloud. It keeps playing with your phone locked or while you use other apps, and you can skip ahead or change the speed as you go. Look for uListen and the minutes on channel pages, search results and your Home lists to find episodes you can hear. TTS narration for summaries: listen to podcast summaries instead of full videos when you're hard-pressed for time. The pilot launch covers shows including The Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, All-In and Lenny's Podcast, read in male and female voices. Based on your feedback, we'll add TTS narration in more voices and for more podcast channels! NEW: Request narration Episode not narrated yet? Tap Request narration and leave your email.

Focus is all you need

For those that are serious podcast listener, this app saves you so much time from ads - video or podcast only! Transcripts are also clutch, with clear notation on who is speaking. It’s better than ones provided to you by Apple Podcast or Spotify. With AI features, you can get so many interesting insights fast - something not so easily accessible. Give it a try - especially those trying to stay on top of all things tech!

Love that you called the transcripts "clutch" - it made our week! We invested months of effort into adding accurate speaker labels to make it easy for users to follow the conversation. uListen TTS narration has been added to the latest release - can't wait to hear your thoughts on this!

A smarter way to listen!

This is incredible! I love listening to podcasts but sometimes get distracted/miss key elements. The “ideas worth remembering” is my favorite part and a great tool to go back to if you don’t want to listen to everything from scratch. I am a physician and plan to use this app to listen to relevant educational content. Can’t wait to share this with my colleagues.

Glad to hear that you find it intuitive - exactly what we were hoping for! Thanks for the kind words.

Fantastic app for podcast lovers!

I just started using this app and it’s been a game changer for how I interact with and consume podcasts. I enjoy watching podcasts, but most of them are too long for me to get through or be able to fully retain all the key points. I love the “At a glance” page where I can get a quick summary of the podcast and decide how much time I want to spend on it. The “Ideas worth remembering” capture the key takeaways really well, and it’s particularly nice when you just want to jump to the expert’s recommendations on the topic instead of listening to all the background history. The first time I used uListen was for a Diary of a CEO episode on dopamine addiction. I am a clinical psychologist myself, and I thought the AI summaries were absolutely spot-on and did a great job capturing the guest’s most impactful messages. “Every Spoken Word” is a cool feature – it’s like being able to search a video and jump to whichever section I’m most interested in, which I haven’t been able to do before. The player is easy and intuitive to navigate - simple and effective. Excited to use this app for maximizing my learning from podcasts and see what other features they come out with!

Thank you for your kind words! It's a great compliment to hear that the summary of the dopamine episode earned a nod from a licensed clinical psychologist. We've added uListen TTS narration for the Diary of a CEO channel - hope you get to try that feature and enjoy it!

UListen is wonderful!

I absolutely love UListen. The experience feels thoughtful, modern, and genuinely helpful for people who love to learn through listening.

What really stands out is the live highlighted text while the audio plays. The synced captions make it so much easier to follow along, stay focused, and retain what I’m hearing. It creates a beautiful “read and listen together” experience that feels immersive and calming at the same time.

The interface is clean, intuitive, and pleasant to use. Everything feels smooth and well designed. I especially appreciate how accessible and user-friendly the app is for long listening sessions.

This is one of the few apps where the technology truly enhances concentration instead of distracting from it. A wonderful product. Highly recommended.

"Immersive and calming at the same time" might be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about uListen. Thank you for the kind words! Research shows that reading and listening together increases retention by 4-5X and that's exactly we love to learn too. If you haven't tried it yet, open Read Along full screen, pinch the text to zoom in/out and tap any word to jump that moment. Hope you enjoy reading and listening via uListen!
