The shift
Most of your readers are on their phones now.
A PDF reproduces the printed page faithfully – that’s exactly what it’s for. On a small screen, though, it creates friction. That’s the biggest untapped potential in your edition.
- ×Pinch & zoom instead of comfortable reading
- ×Tiny text on mobile
- ×Uncomfortable to read on mobile
- ×Limited accessibility
- ×Hard for search engines to find
- ×Made for paper – not for the screen

The Satzlicht experience
More than readable – understandable.
Satzlicht enriches every edition automatically – with summaries, search, recommendations and more. Your readers find what matters faster and stay in the edition longer.
In a nutshell
Every article opens with clear bullet points. Readers grasp the essentials in seconds – and read on where it actually interests them.
Ask the edition
Readers ask a question in their own words and get an answer – drawn only from the current edition, with sources. No made-up facts.
Relevant recommendations
After each piece, Satzlicht suggests thematically related articles – drawing readers deeper into the edition.
Series & storylines
Related articles are detected automatically as a series and linked on a timeline. Readers drop into the middle of a story and find every part.
Plain language
At the tap of a button, any article is rephrased in short, easy-to-read sentences – for more people and more reach.
Read aloud
Every piece can be read aloud – to listen on the go or for readers who prefer to. With a realistic reading time per article.
Facts & figures, the key people and the reading time appear automatically on every article – with no extra work for your newsroom.
Read aloud
Listen instead of read – in the voice that fits you.
Satzlicht narrates articles automatically – with high-quality, natural voices, optionally cloned to your own brand or presenter voice. We deliberately don’t offer open-source voices: their quality is simply too subpar for a product of this calibre.
Both voices read the same text – an excerpt from “New city pool opens”.
Natural voices AI voice
Note: both audio samples were generated entirely with artificial intelligence (text-to-speech). They are not recordings of real speakers.
Markus AI voice
Wolfgang AI voice
Audio as an optional add-on
Narration runs on high-quality commercial voice models with ongoing usage fees, and is billed separately as an optional add-on.
Example: from about €0.10 per narrated article – a daily edition of roughly 30 articles works out to around €3 per day (about €70/month).
Voice models from ElevenLabs or comparable providers. The narration voice can be cloned to your own brand or presenter voice – you choose by brand, budget, privacy and rights.
Preview & sharing
Closed content becomes an entry point.
Every article gets a public preview – headline, image, AI summary and the opening. Shareable by link, with a clean social preview. The full text stays protected and leads readers to subscribe.
A preview, not a dead end
Headline, image, AI bullet points and the opening are free to read. The rest stays for subscribers – with a clear notice and a subscribe button.
Sharing that converts
Readers share the preview link. The social card shows title, image and AI summary. Subscribers open the full article instantly, guests get the preview.
Measurable, not blind
Preview views, shared links and subscribe clicks are counted cookie-free and GDPR-compliant – reach becomes measurable conversion.
Web & native apps
Your edition as a native app – iOS & Android included.
Satzlicht delivers more than the web edition: your readers get your newspaper as a native app for iPhone, iPad and Android – with the same fast, accessible reading experience and no extra editorial work.
- Full e-paper Every edition true to the printed page – with zoom and fast page turns.
- Articles with AI & audio Article view with AI summary, read-aloud and simple language.
- Offline reading Download editions automatically and read without an internet connection.

Special rate for free advertising papers
€99 a month – permanent, regardless of circulation.
Free advertising papers ("Anzeigenblätter") reach very high circulation through full household distribution. A circulation-based price would burden them disproportionately. That is why recognised free advertising papers get a fixed monthly price – completely independent of circulation (web/PWA edition).
Native apps and read-aloud as optional add-ons
