Headway Inc
Audio book summaries for the commute
Listen on the way to work, at the gym or while the dinner cooks.
- Key ideas from bestsellers in 15 minutes
- Free Daily Read, no card needed
- Read or listen, in 7 app languages
A commute is dead time for a lot of people, and audio is the format that fits it. Every Headway summary has an audio version that runs about fifteen to twenty minutes, so one ride, one workout or one round of chores covers one book's main ideas.
Speed is yours to set. The player moves from 0.5x up to 2x, though the setting resets for each new summary because every narrator has a natural tempo and what suits one voice may rush another.
No signal on the train or the plane? Tap the download icon beforehand and the summary sits in your Library for offline play. Saving a title for later is a separate action, so download it too if you will be offline.
Audio and text share the same content, so you can start a summary in the car and finish reading it at a desk. A highlight button in the player marks the moment that hits home, and it lands in your Highlights tab for later.
