Read with your ears.

Text-to-speech with word-synced highlighting. Works on any website. Sounds like a real person.

Hey. Before you scroll through this page, press play. You are about to experience what Mira Reader actually does, not read about it. My name is Mex. I built this. Not because the world needed another productivity tool, but because I genuinely could not find a reading app that worked on modern websites. Every tool I tried either sounded robotic, crashed on chat responses, or wanted fifty dollars a year for a highlight that barely kept up. So I built one that sounds like a real person. One where every word highlights as it is spoken, so your eyes just follow along. No losing your place. No re-reading the same paragraph three times. You are doing it right now. I am letting people in gradually because I want to actually talk to everyone who signs up. If Mira does not work for you, just reply to any email. I read every one.

Explain how TCP/IP works in simple terms

Think of TCP/IP like the postal system of the internet. When you send a message, TCP breaks it into small packets — like cutting a letter into pieces. Each piece gets an address label (that's the IP part) telling it where to go.

The packets might take different routes across the network, like how mail might go through different sorting centers. When they arrive, TCP reassembles them in the right order and checks that nothing got lost along the way.

IP handles the addressing and routing (getting packets to the right destination), while TCP handles the reliability (making sure everything arrives complete and in order).

Also works on articles, documentation, PDFs, and any text you select.

Word-synced highlighting moves with the voice. Research shows reading-while-listening works best when the text moves at the pace of the voice. It's not a gimmick — it's how focus works.

Voices that sound like people.

Natural breathing, compression, and warmth. Not the same robotic voices every other tool resells. Voices you can actually listen to for more than two minutes.

Accessibility that's actually free. ALWAYS FREE

Dyslexia fonts, reading ruler, color overlays, spacing controls. These aren't premium features. They never will be.

"After trying all the apps, systems, and even going so deep into the YouTube productivity rabbit hole that I discovered the Watch Later button only lets you add 5,000 videos... (Didn't stop me though, 'Watch Later 2.0' currently has 2,498 videos sitting in it 😭)

After 15 years of trying every shiny new tool and returning to Notion every few months to build another dashboard I'd never actually use, I decided it was time for apps with a different philosophy.

I built Mira because I needed a reading tool that actually worked on modern websites. One that sounded good, looked good, and didn't crash every time I tried to use it on a chat response.

If it works for me, I'm pretty sure it'll work for you too. And if it doesn't, just reply to any email. I read every one."
