Audioread integration: listen to documents on the go

Turn Ruleo documents into audio and subscribe in your favorite podcast app.

Get started

Audioread is included with Ruleo Pro. If you’re on a free plan, upgrade to Pro to use it.

  • Open any Federal Register, CFR, or US Code document (or section) in Ruleo.
  • Click the Listen button (Audioread icon) next to the title.
  • If it’s your first time, we’ll set up your Audioread account; then click Listen again.
  • We generate audio from the document text. When it’s ready, a player appears so you can play it right away or copy the audio link.

How it works

When you click Listen, Ruleo sends the document’s text to Audioread, which creates a spoken version. The first time can take about a minute. After that, the audio is saved to your personal Audioread playlist.

Your playlist is available as a podcast feed. You can subscribe to that feed in Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, or any app that supports adding a podcast by URL. New documents you add with Listen will show up in that feed.

Connect your podcast app

To listen in a podcast app, add your Ruleo Audioread feed URL:

  1. Go to your Dashboard (Ruleo app home when signed in) or open the Audioread tab in the sidebar.
  2. In the Ruleo Audioread section, use Apple Podcasts or YouTube Music to open the app with your feed, or tap Copy feed URL.
  3. In Apple Podcasts: the link may open the app and add the show. If not, go to Library → Edit → Add a Show by URL and paste your feed URL.
  4. In YouTube Music or other apps: paste the feed URL where the app asks for a podcast or RSS feed.

Once subscribed, new documents you add with Listen will appear in that app like any other podcast episode.
