About Tanlearn
Tanlearn takes lecture PDFs and notes and turns them into lessons. For every page, the AI produces a student-friendly explanation and a voice narration, so students can listen to the material rather than only read it. An optical reading step is designed to handle diagrams, circuits, graphs and tables that are hard to understand on one's own, and the lessons follow the student's own course materials instead of a generic summary.
A PDF chat assistant lets students ask questions about their document, and interactive lessons and quizzes support exam preparation. The name comes from the Turkish word for dawn. The site contrasts it with general chat assistants by pointing to page-specific explanations, audio narration and student-oriented pricing, which is listed in a pricing section.
