AudioScholar
Audio briefings on the medical literature, for working physicians.
Paste a paper, pick a topic, or follow a specialty — AudioScholar turns the literature into ~10-minute audio you can listen to between cases or on the commute.
Three ways to put medical literature in your ears
All three workflows produce ~3 to ~10 minute audio summaries with a clean script, full source citations, and downloadable MP3.
Upload a paper
Drop any peer-reviewed PDF or paste a PubMed / DOI / blog URL. Paper Summary returns a 5- or 10-minute audio summary in about 2 minutes.
Track a topic
Topic Watch follows any clinical question (e.g., "GLP-1 in CKD") and emails you a 7-, 14-, or 28-day audio digest of new literature on that topic.
Follow your specialty
Specialty Weekly is a curated weekly briefing across the high-impact journals in your specialty — nephrology, cardiology, endocrinology, and more. Started as "This Week in Nephrology"; now covers all major specialties.
Listen anywhere
Every episode comes with a personal RSS feed. Subscribe in Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, or just download the MP3 to play wherever.
Library + dashboard
Episodes you finish (≥80% played) move to your Library → Played section. Recent activity shows on the dashboard for the last 14 days. No bookmarks yet — they're on the roadmap.
Share with a colleague

Hear before you sign up
No account needed — these public sample episodes give you a sense of the voice, pace, and depth.
Live samples rotate — visit audioscholar.cc for the current ones.
Built by a physician, for physicians.
AudioScholar is built by Dr. Nikhil Shah, a practicing nephrologist at the University of Alberta — the workflow exists because he uses it daily for his own clinical reading.
