This page covers what audio carries and how to use it.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Type the page in, keep the key sentences
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This browser tool uses text rules, not AI, and it does not speak: it keeps a passage's key sentences so you can see what a short pass sounds like. The audio itself, a narrated recap of the photographed page, is the app's job.
What listening is genuinely good for
Audio shines at three jobs: previewing material before it is taught, so the lecture lands on prepared ground; refreshing a page you studied days ago, cheaper than a reread; and holding attention in hours where eyes are busy or tired. What it does not do is create durable recall by itself, hearing feels like knowing the way recognition does. The recap earns its minutes as the first pass or the reminder, not the whole method.
Which pages are worth hearing
Prose narrates well: explanations, causes, sequences, the paragraphs that carry a chapter's argument. Equations, tables and dense notation narrate badly, a spoken integral is noise, so photograph the explaining pages for audio and leave the symbol heavy ones for questions on screen. History, biology and language content tend to convert best; problem sets belong to a different output.
Shooting for the ear, not the eye
The recap can only speak what the photo carries, so the same discipline applies: one page per frame, straight on, spine shadow watched. Captions and margin notes join the narration if they are legible, which is usually welcome, and page numbers or running headers are ignored rather than read out. If the page is half diagram, expect a short recap: labels speak, arrows do not.
The pairing that makes audio stick
Listening primes; retrieval fixes. Play the recap on the way home, then answer a handful of questions from the same page in the evening, the same photograph can produce both outputs, and the difference shows within days. The recap alone leaves a familiarity glow; the questions convert the glow into recall the exam can find. Ten spoken minutes plus five answering beats thirty of either alone.
Speed, replays and the honest limits
Play recaps at the speed you actually absorb, faster is not a virtue if names blur, and replay freely: the second listen costs nothing and catches what the first dropped. The limit to respect is passive drift, audio invites it, so anchor each listen to a purpose: before class, after study, before the exam's morning. Purpose turns background sound back into a pass through the material.
Where this sits in WeSolve+
Photograph the page in the app and choose the audio recap output; the same photo can also become flashcards or a quiz. Recaps queue up like a playlist, so a week's pages become a commute's listening, and the questions that finish the job wait in the same place. Free tier included; headphones optional but recommended.
| Page type | Narrates | Use instead |
|---|---|---|
| Explaining prose | Very well | This is the case for audio |
| Cause and sequence | Well | Preview before class |
| Definitions list | Adequately | Cards return them longer |
| Equations and notation | Badly | Questions on screen |
| Tables | Badly | Photograph for quiz output |
| Half diagram pages | Short recap only | Labels speak, arrows do not |

How do I turn a photo into audio?
In the WeSolve+ app, photograph the page and choose the audio recap output. The page is narrated as a short pass you can play anywhere.
Is listening enough to learn the material?
No, and this page says so plainly: listening previews and refreshes. Pair the recap with questions from the same photo and the material holds.
Which pages narrate well?
Explaining prose, causes and sequences. Equations, dense tables and diagram heavy pages narrate badly and are served by on screen outputs.
When is the best time to listen?
Before the class that covers the page, or as a refresh after studying it. Anchoring each listen to a purpose prevents passive drift.
Can I speed up or replay recaps?
Yes, both. Use the speed you genuinely absorb at, and replay freely; a second listen catches what the first dropped.
Does the browser tool on this page produce audio?
No. It is a typed text helper that keeps key sentences by rule. The narrated recap of a photographed page is the app's job.
