Member Stories
Here’s what our members have to say about Audeus transforming their livesAnna
College Student
Audeus has helped me able to manage my time blindness and estimate my tasks way more easily, letting me gain an extra 2 productive hours per day. I have ADHD and with the reading time estimates I can now plan my day knowing how long a reading assignment will take. Ever since Audeus I've had so much more time and energy given back, letting me spend more time with friends and family.
Zain
Law Student
I'm a 2L currently and just found it so hard to give time to my SO, but with Audeus, I have been able to get 10 hours of my week back to now spend with my partner. I was just always just so tired and exhausted before, and Audeus has gotten me through the slog of readings and with that extra time I've been able to focus on job related work. I don't know what I'd do without Audeus.

Learning English
As an English learner who just moved to the US, I struggled with understanding native speakers and lacked confidence when talking at work. Audeus has been a huge boost to my confidence, as I've been able to listen to articles and my documents in English which has expanded my vocabulary. I'm able to express myself clearly, improved my accent, and don't feel self conscious anymore when speaking in public, especially at work.
lucskd
Graduate Student
I'm a slow reader and ever since using text to speech with audeus with 2x speed, I've been able to keep up with all my work. It's given me a massive boost in how much I get done, and overall I just feel so much more confident knowing I'm on track throughout the semester. Struggling and being behind in school had caused me massive anxiety, and feeling the weight be taken off just feels so great.

Undergrad Student
I was constantly overwhelmed with the amount of new readings and work I had to do my first semester of college. Ever since getting Audeus, I have been able to consistently study and realized I just needed to listen as well to keep myself engaged and learned much better than before. I've been able to consistently get good scores ever since I've started using text to speech.
Maria
Research Coordinator
Using audeus for editing my writing, reading journal articles, and using it for my overall editing process has helped a lot. Reading was so daunting for me, and keeping up after an hour was just too much, I feel like with Audeus I have basically just bought focus and it has helped me retain what I read much better. I am still surprised how effective Audeus is for me and highly recommend it.

Medical Student
I'm keeping up with the material without having to pull all-nighters anymore, and I don't have to stress about falling behind. My test scores have gone up and it helped me massively with my USMLE Step 1 exam.
Robin
Self Care
I was constantly doom scrolling and was overwhelmed with the amount of things I had to do, ever since using Audeus, I have been able to relax my eyes and give myself a bit of a break to listen and learn some of the self-care readings I had been putting off. I feel more present and more focused than ever, don't think that having to constantly read your screen is the only way to progress forward. I recommend Audeus to anyone who's currently overwhelmed and feels overloaded with work.
