Primary Sources Read Aloud and Explained
Old documents are hard to read, and harder for English learners. Paste a primary source and ZenMic reads the original aloud, then a second voice explains it in plain English at your students' level, ready for the questions on your handout.
No microphone Β· No actors Β· Script and audio in about a minute
The original, read well
A clear voice reads the source as written, archaic words and all.
Then explained
A second voice retells it in simple modern English.
For English learners
Choose the level so ELL students follow the content.
Ready for your handout
End with the questions your students will answer.
Ready-Made Examples
Read the script, hear it, or make your own version in one click.
How It Works
Describe the situation
One sentence is enough. Add the people, the goal, a level or your own document.
AI writes and casts it
A realistic script with a distinct AI voice for every person in it.
Edit, generate, share
Adjust any line, create the audio, then share a link or download the MP3.
Built on the AI Explainer & Summary Audio Generator
Give ZenMic a concept or a document. It hooks with a question, builds understanding in steps with one strong analogy, checks it against a real example and ends with takeaways you could repeat to a friend.
