Turn Research PDFs into Podcasts
ResearchCast gives you a PDF-first workflow for research papers that are saved on your device, shared privately, or simply not hosted on arXiv.
- Upload a research PDF instead of pasting an arXiv link
- Useful for drafts, publisher PDFs, and private paper sharing
- Built for scientific documents rather than generic file narration
Pick a PDF from your device, register the upload, then generate a ResearchCast from that file inside the same interface.
This page fits papers that live in your downloads folder, collaboration threads, or publisher exports rather than public arXiv pages.
Results are best when the document is an actual scientific paper with recognizable sections, tables, and research context.
Why a PDF-first route exists
Not every paper enters your workflow through arXiv. Sometimes it arrives from a collaborator, a conference submission, a journal PDF, or an internal research exchange. This page targets that upload-first intent directly, so users with a file in hand land on the workflow they actually need.
ResearchCast keeps the experience focused on research papers instead of generic document audio. That matters because scientific PDFs carry methods, results, and caveats that need structure, not just narration. If your starting point is a saved paper rather than a public URL, this is the cleanest path.
How the upload workflow works
This route is designed for users who already have the paper file and want the shortest path from PDF to audio.
Ideal use cases for PDF to podcast
The PDF route is most useful when research moves through files, folders, and private sharing rather than public links.
Supported document expectations and limitations
These points reflect the current product behavior, so users searching for upload guidance get concrete expectations.
Upload a research PDF and turn it into audio
When your paper starts as a file instead of a link, ResearchCast gives you a direct PDF-to-podcast workflow built for research reading.
