News reading

News articles for your commute.

Paste a URL — Yomite reads the article body. Skips ads and comments. Perfect for commutes and walks.

Yomite is an on-device read-aloud app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android that reads books and articles aloud (the Android version is on Google Play).

"Read later" piles grow because we never sit down to read. Yomite turns those few transit minutes into reading minutes.

Paste a URL, that's it

Drop a Nikkei, NHK, Asahi, Yahoo News, note, or Hatena Blog URL into Yomite's Web Reader. It extracts the article body — no ads, no nav, no comments — and starts reading.

Pick your anchor voice

阿井田 茂's broadcaster-style baritone, 凛音エル's cool delivery, 桜音's morning-paper warmth — pick the anchor that fits your mood.

Build a "to listen" queue

Tap to save articles, then queue them up for your evening walk or morning train. A new rhythm for catching up on news.

Articles saved in Wallabag, Readwise Reader or Instapaper, and RSS feeds, can come in directly too (see Your library and read-later).

Paywalls aren't supported

Yomite can't bypass paywalls or login walls. Get the article into readable form first (copy-paste works too), then bring it into Yomite.

Who it's for

  • Commuters who want news instead of ads
  • People with a Hatena bookmark pile
  • Anyone who'd rather listen to long-form posts on a walk
