Select text and right-click

Highlight anything on a page, right-click it, and choose Read aloud, or a faster speed. The same menu saves the selection as an audio file and stops a reading in progress.

A web page with a highlighted paragraph and the right-click menu open. The Cloud Speech submenu lists Read aloud, Read aloud at 1.5x, Read aloud at 2x, Download audio, and Stop reading.

Listen while you browse

The reading starts right away and keeps going while you scroll. Open the popup and the Sandbox offers the text you highlighted in a banner: Use selection puts it in the text box, ready to replay, tweak, or download.

The Sandbox view while a page is being read: a Selected on page banner quoting the highlighted text with a Use selection button, and the text box holding the first lines of an article.

Tune the voice

Below the voice picker, Preferences holds speed, pitch, volume gain, and speaking style, where the voice supports them. Move a slider and the next reading uses it.

Connect a provider

Settings shows one card per provider. Paste your API key, click Save & test, and the card turns Connected with the number of voices it found. The link under the field opens that provider's setup guide.

The Settings view with the OpenAI card expanded: a masked API key field, a link to the setup guide, an Enabled switch, a Save and test button, and a green Connected badge.

When a key does not work

If the first Save & test fails, the card stays Not connected. A plain sentence says what went wrong; the technical detail sits under Details for when you need it. Fix the key and test again.

The Settings view with the OpenAI card expanded after a failed Save and test: a Not connected chip, a plain error sentence with a Details line under it, and the Save and test button.

Sync and back up

Turn on sync and your settings follow you to every browser you are signed into. Export writes them to a file, for safekeeping or another machine; Import reads it back. The popup's display language is set here too.

The end of the Settings view: the Sync card with its switch on, the Backup card with Export and Import buttons, and the Display language menu set to Auto.

Try a passage in the Sandbox

Paste any text into the Sandbox and press play. The player pauses, skips fifteen seconds back or forward, changes speed live, and downloads the reading. The line above it names the provider the text goes to.
