The text-to-speech app that doesn't just read to you —
it helps you genuinely understand what you heard.
No spam. No credit card. Just early access.
The problem
You listen. You forget.
Most TTS apps are just playback engines. They dump audio at you with no regard for whether anything is sticking. You finish a document and can barely recall the main point.
Robotic voices break focus.
Synthetic voices that sound like a GPS reading terms and conditions don't help you absorb complex ideas. The voice matters as much as the words.
Smart content, dumb reading.
Apps read page numbers, footnotes, headers, URL strings, and citation markers aloud. Your documents are intelligent — your TTS app isn't.
Pay more, get less.
$139 a year for one mediocre voice engine and a mobile app that breaks when you lock your screen. The market is overpriced and underdelivered.
"Somzia is built on a single belief: listening and understanding are not the same thing. Every feature exists to close that gap."

What makes Somzia different
01
Active Listening Mode
After each section, Somzia asks you 1–2 AI-generated comprehension questions. Answer them. See your retention score grow. No other TTS app does this.
Unique to Somzia02
Multi-engine voices
ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Azure Neural, Google WaveNet, and Amazon Polly — all in one app. Switch engines per document. Let the content choose the voice.
03
Smart content filtering
Somzia detects and silently skips page numbers, headers, footers, citation markers, URL strings, and legal boilerplate. You hear the document, not the noise.
04
Any document, anywhere
PDF, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, URLs, clipboard, email forwarding. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox. If you can read it, Somzia can read it to you.
05
Rewind by sentence
Not by seconds — by sentence. Missed something? One tap takes you back to the start of the last sentence, not 10 seconds of silence. Finally.
06
Offline-first
Pre-synthesise any document over WiFi. Listen on a plane, in court, underground. Your library travels with you, no connection required.
The experience
Whether you're a lawyer reviewing case files, a student processing research papers, or a professional clearing your reading backlog — Somzia adapts to your content and your pace.
