Documents read aloud for blind and low-vision people
Every document, read your way.
Hello Narra is a personal assistant that reads your bills, official letters and medicine leaflets aloud in the tone and speed you like. It answers your questions, adjusts the screen to how you see, and gets to know you better with every bit of feedback.
Currently in closed beta: only invited accounts can sign in.

The problem
Most everyday documents are designed for sighted readers: small print, low contrast, busy layouts. Screen readers close much of that gap, but they speak to everyone the same way and don't "understand" the document.
Our answer
- Everyone gets their own assistant that knows them.
- It reads a document from start to finish, word for word, or answers a single question briefly.
- Say "read slower" once and it remembers.
- It sets up the screen by voice, based on how the person sees.
How it works
Sign in
Sign in with your email and password. Your own assistant is created for you.
Set up your screen
The assistant asks how you see and adjusts colours, text and captions to match.
Add a document
PDF, Word or text. Just drag the file anywhere onto the page.
Talk
"Read the bill", "summarize it", "when is it due?" You can interrupt or ask it to go back.
Accessibility is the foundation, not decoration
Every colour, text size and button rests on a standard or on research. All five themes deliver more than twice the 7:1 contrast that the AAA level asks for.

All postsHow does the assistant read a document?
Why we give documents to the assistant both section by section and as a knowledge base, how captions sync with the voice, and how preferences stick.

Why I built it, why the interface looks unusual, and the standards behind every design decision.
Help us grow this project
Hello Narra started with a grant from ElevenLabs. To test with real users, read scanned documents and stay free for everyone, we need support.
