Release Notes: April 2, 2026 - Listen Mode is here with audio playback in a voice you can clone

We've just shipped one of our most requested features. With Listen Mode, any content you save to Recall (articles, podcasts, YouTube videos, PDFs, web pages) can now be summarized and read back to you as audio. Pick from our library of built-in voices, or clone a voice of your own.

I cloned my dad's voice so he can read me my morning podcast summary. Check us out in action below!

What's included in Listen Mode

• Audio playback:

  Open any saved card's notebook and hit the listen button on a summary or saved AI chat. Turn your reading backlog into a listening queue while you commute, cook, or work out.

• Voice cloning:

  Upload a short audio sample and Recall creates a voice profile that captures tone, cadence, and accent. A parent, a partner, a mentor, a friend. Clone a voice you love and make your Recall content feel personal. Head to the text-to-speech settings to set it up.

• Built-in voices:

  If cloning isn't for you, explore our range of voices and pick one that fits. When I'm not listening to Papa, my personal favourite is Craig.

• 30+ languages:

  Listen in the language that feels most natural to you. Translate content in English and it can be played back in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and dozens more.

Ideas to get you started

• Clone a loved one's voice and listen to a summary of your morning podcast on your commute in a voice that's warm and familiar.

• Save any long-form content: chat with it and then listen to your tailored chat output.

• Learning a new language? Save content and listen to the summary in your target language to train your ear.

What's next

This is v1. Coming soon: audio playback in Reader mode and playback from the browser extension. Behind the scenes, we are also working on some massive updates. Really excited for what's to come.
