ForReading

AI voices for web novels. Each character speaks with their own voice. Neural TTS + Browser TTS. 34-language filter. Free forever. Connect your local voices and use it for free! ForReading brings your web novels to life with AI-powered text-to-speech in +140 Voices. 🎭 CHARACTER VOICES — Each character speaks with their own voice. Our AI detects who's speaking and assigns a distinct voice to every character in the chapter. 🔀 MULTI-NARRATOR — Alternate between two voices for narration paragraphs, while dialogue keeps its own character voice. Fully configurable block sizes. 🔍 AI CHAPTER ANALYSIS — DeepSeek-powered analysis identifies characters, resolves aliases, and splits narration from dialogue. Works across 28 languages. 🎙️ 60+ PREMIUM VOICES — Azure Neural, Google Cloud (Chirp3 HD, Neural2, Wavenet), Microsoft Edge, Kokoro, and Browser TTS. Dragon-tier unlocks MAI-Voice and Google Premium. ☁️ CLOUD PRO — Instant access to all premium voices. No setup required. Plans from free (5K chars/month) to Dragon (1M+ chars/month + premium AI voices). 🔑 BYOK — Bring your own Azure, Google Cloud keys or any other key. Encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Full control, zero markup. 🌍 34-LANGUAGE VOICE FILTER — Pick which languages appear in the popup. Don't scroll through 500+ voices — see only the ones you use. Filter by Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and 28 more. Add you voices with local providers! ⚡ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS — Alt+R toggle reader, Alt+S read selection, Alt+N/P next/prev paragraph or any combination you want. 🎛️ AUDIO CONTROLS — Speed, pitch, volume. EQ and soft compressor for local voices. RNNoise noise reduction. 📊 READING STATS — Track your characters read, monthly progress, and compete on the leaderboard. 🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST — Local voices stay 100% on-device. Cloud voices: your page text is sent only to synthesize audio, never stored. API keys encrypted at rest. Free forever. No ads. Why these permissions? - "Read your browsing history" — We never read or store your history. This permission (tabs) only lets ForReading know which tab to read aloud when you press play. It doesn't track where you've been. - "Read and modify data on api.readingisforyou.com" — Required to authenticate your Cloud Pro account and fetch premium voices. No data is shared with third parties. - "Read and modify data on 127.0.0.1" — Only used if you run a local TTS engine (Kokoro, CosyVoice, Piper). All traffic stays on your own machine. If you don't use local voices, this permission does nothing. - "Inject scripts into web pages" (scripting + activeTab) — Needed to show the floating TTS player and highlight text as it reads. Scripts only inject when you click "Read" or press Alt+R — never automatically. - Text you read aloud — Sent to TTS servers (Azure, Google, etc.) to generate audio. Discarded immediately after synthesis. Never logged. Never stored. - No ads. No trackers. No analytics. — Zero third-party cookies, zero fingerprinting, zero data selling. AES-256-GCM encryption for all sensitive data at rest. I made the extension so anyone can read novels with voice easy and free, just that.
