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.

How It Works

1

Describe the situation

One sentence is enough. Add the people, the goal, a level or your own document.

2

AI writes and casts it

A realistic script with a distinct AI voice for every person in it.

3

Edit, generate, share

Adjust any line, create the audio, then share a link or download the MP3.

πŸ’‘

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.
