About HearHere

HearHere reads the web out loud. Select any text and press Read, or turn on Hover Read and simply rest your cursor on a paragraph. HearHere highlights it and reads it to you. Pause, resume, stop and change speed from a small player at the corner of the page. HOW YOU USE IT • Select → Read: highlight text and a Read button appears next to it. • Hover Read: rest your cursor on a paragraph to hear it. • Speed from 0.75× to 2×, changed instantly while reading. • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+R reads, Alt+Shift+Space pauses, Esc stops, Alt+Shift+H toggles Hover Read. • Right-click any selection and choose "Read aloud with HearHere". VOICES • System voice: free and offline, built into your computer. • OpenAI or ElevenLabs: natural, lifelike voices using your own API key. You pay the provider directly; HearHere adds nothing on top. Pick any voice, including your own ElevenLabs clones. KEEPS YOUR API BILL SMALL • Audio is generated one sentence ahead, so stopping early doesn't waste credits. • Speed changes never cost extra. • Anything you've heard is cached, so replays are free. • A daily character limit, a check before long reads, and Hover Read guards so moving your mouse around never runs up a bill. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no analytics, no HearHere servers. Your API keys stay on your computer and are only ever sent to the provider they belong to. HearHere is an independent project and is not affiliated with OpenAI or ElevenLabs.
