About Audessa - Text-to-Speech Reader

Audessa turns articles into audio with a simple floating text-to-speech player. Open an article, click Audessa, and listen while you work, walk, cook, or rest your eyes. Audessa finds the main article text, removes ads and page clutter, and reads it aloud with your browser's built-in voices — highlighting each word as it goes so you can follow along. Features: Reads the current article aloud, starting from the headline Word-by-word highlighting that follows the narration A floating player you can drag anywhere on the page Play, pause, skip forward and back, and restart Adjustable reading speed Choice of narration voices Accessibility tools: larger text, high contrast, and a dyslexia-friendly font No account required Audessa is built for people who want to keep up with reading without staying tied to the screen. It works on news stories, blog posts, recipes, and long-form articles. A mobile app with a "listen later" queue is planned for a future release.
