Help your child study by listening to homework PDFs

School PDFs show up by email, portal download, or a photo saved as a file. By evening the page count is longer than anyone wants to reread. Speechdash turns that homework into audio your child can follow, then replay, without opening the original file on a small screen.

This is a second pass through the same material. It does not replace reading.

Why listening helps at home

Some children hear instructions twice and finally get them. Others lose their place on page three of a six-page worksheet. Highlighting gives them a track. After a day of screens, hearing the text can be easier than reading it again line by line.

A routine that takes minutes

1. Upload the PDF

Drop the file from email or the school portal onto the homepage. Language detection runs automatically. Change it later in the rename dialog if the subject is taught in another language.

PDF import uses credits by file size (0.5 credits per started megabyte, minimum 0.5). A two-page worksheet is cheap.

2. Trim before playback

Open edit mode. Remove duplicate headers, empty pages, or a second copy of the rubric. Less noise means fewer skips later.

3. Pick a calm voice and slow dense sections

Run instructions at 1x. Slow definitions or word problems to 0.5x. You can change voice or speed without restarting.

4. Skip what is not the task

Rubrics and citation blocks help parents. They often distract the student. Skip those sentences so playback stays on the questions.

5. Export for replay

Export audio for the ride to school or quiet time before bed. The library remembers where playback stopped.

Keep daily review in Eco mode

Everyday listening can stay in Eco mode. It runs in the browser and does not spend credits. Use cloud or export when you need a phone file.

If you are new to the app, Getting started covers signup and first playback.
