Can I try my own workbook before paying?

Yes. Choose your course, upload your PDF and try the start of Chapter 1. We find the chapter automatically, skipping covers and publishing pages. The free preview covers up to 2,250 words, about 15 minutes, and lasts 7 days. No purchase is needed to try it.

Which workbooks are supported?

Use your own English course workbook PDF with selectable text. The limits are one workbook per course, 50 MB, 1,500 pages and 200,000 words. The PDF needs identifiable chapter headings or chapter bookmarks. Scanned or image-only PDFs are not supported.

Will I see the original pages?

Yes. Original view displays your PDF pages; Reader view gives you reflowed text. Narration follows extracted text rather than an AI summary. Check formulas, charts and complex tables on the original page, as PDF extraction can affect their reading order.

How much does the full reader cost?

Add Workbook Reader for $39 on top of the course price when buying a course, or $49 later if you already own that course. This is a one-time add-on for that course, not a subscription. Upload your own workbook to listen.

Who can access my uploaded PDF?

Your PDF is stored privately to provide the reader. Sharing a copy with the Exams Academy team is a separate, optional permission that is off by default. You can withdraw that permission from the reader. Other learners cannot browse or download your upload.
