Understand long reads through Korean audio explanations.
mallo turns PDFs, public web articles, and pasted text into Korean explanations and synthetic speech. It explains useful background and unfamiliar concepts while preserving the source's main points and conditions. Explanations are generated by AI and pass a separate review step, but can still contain errors. Check important details against the source.
Import documents
• Text and scanned PDFs with Korean/English OCR
• Public articles opened in the app's browser
• Pasted text
• Up to 60,000 source characters per explanation
Tables and images may be omitted, with a notice in the app. Login-restricted content, pages without an article body, and YouTube videos are not supported.
Start with one of three curated Korean explanation demos, or add your own document. View the explanation and original source inside the app.

Trial and subscription
Before signing in or paying, listen to the first minute of your first document. Eligible new subscribers receive a 7-day free trial with 60 generation minutes, including usage from the claimed guest document. Each paid billing period provides 300 fresh generation minutes. Usage is calculated from the actual duration of completed audio. A final document started with remaining allowance is completed even if it exceeds that allowance. Replaying generated documents does not consume generation time. The App Store shows the monthly price before confirmation. The subscription renews automatically and can be managed or canceled in Apple Account settings.
Data processing
Source documents are sent to mallo's Cloudflare-based service. Source text is sent to the OpenAI API for explanation generation and review; the explanation is sent for synthetic speech generation. Original documents, extracted text, explanations and audio are stored privately without automatic expiration for your library and replay. Removing a document or deleting an account blocks app/API access but does not immediately delete stored data. See the Privacy Policy for details.
