Show HN: Yapit – PDF and webpage reader with TTS that doesn't suck
Yapit converts PDFs and web pages to audio, with a vision-LLM pipeline that handles math and complex layout instead of garbling them. I built it because I read a lot of papers and content online, but drift off after two paragraphs. Listening while following along keeps me focused and lowers the bar to actually start.
Every TTS tool I tried broke on complex formatting. Papers with math, citations, figure references, page numbers in the middle of sentences. You either get garbled output or you're listening to raw LaTeX.
Yapit converts everything to markdown as a common format. For web pages, defuddle (https://github.com/kepano/defuddle) handles the extraction and strips clutter from web pages, presenting the main article content in a clean, consistent format.

I sometimes read things via Feeder (the Android app) and there I can also pull in some content, even things that aren't included in the original RSS.
