Read Aloud Extension

Read Aloud Extension is a premium, privacy-focused Text-to-Speech (TTS) add-on that automatically detects and reads the main content of any web page aloud.

• 🧠 Intelligent Extraction: Built with Mozilla's Readability.js engine to accurately extract the main article and text content while stripping away distracting ads, navigation bars, and sidebars.
• 🎤 Real-Time Karaoke Highlighting: Dynamically highlights each sentence as it is spoken, allowing you to follow along visually and improve reading comprehension.
• 🔄 Seamless Tab Switching: Clicking the extension icon on a new tab while reading another automatically stops the old tab and instantly starts reading the new one.
• 📄 Local PDF Reader: Built-in PDF extraction that allows you to read local PDF files directly in your browser without uploading them anywhere.
• 🔒 100% Offline & Private: All text extraction, sentence parsing, and speech generation happen completely offline in your browser using the native Web Speech API. No text or browsing data is ever sent to external servers.
• ⚙ Full Customization:
• Voice: Choose from any voice installed on your operating system or browser.
• Speed: Fine-tune reading rate from 0.5x up to 3.0x.
• Pitch: Adjust voice pitch to your preference.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Control playback effortlessly using custom keyboard shortcuts (Alt+O to Play/Stop, Alt+P to Pause/Resume, Alt+. / Alt+, to skip sentences).
