Read Aloud Pro: Text to Speech Reader

🔊 Listen to Any Page with Natural Voices Turn long web pages into audio you can actually listen to. Read Aloud Pro is a text to speech extension for articles, emails, newsletters, selected text, and PDFs with selectable text. It gives you a fast way to listen while commuting, cooking, resting your eyes, or working through a reading queue. 🎯 Why use Read Aloud Pro? Most browser voices sound flat and tiring after a few minutes. This extension gives you a simple free reader with built-in browser voices, then unlocks natural Microsoft neural voices on Pro for longer listening sessions. Select text, press play, and hear it in a clear voice at the speed you prefer. ⚙️ How it works ▶️ Click the extension icon on any page. ▶️ Choose "Read whole page" or "Read selection on tab". ▶️ Or highlight text, right-click, and choose "Read selected text aloud". ▶️ Pick a voice and speed. ▶️ Press Play. Pro audio can keep playing after the popup closes. The free plan uses your browser's Web Speech API. It is useful for short reads and sends no page text to our server. Pro uses our voice proxy at peakproductivity.online to generate natural MP3 audio from the specific text you asked to hear. 👥 Useful for 🎓 Students: listen to assigned articles, class notes, research pages, and selectable PDFs. 💼 Busy professionals: turn newsletters, reports, support docs, and industry posts into focused listening time. ♿ Accessibility: support for dyslexic readers, visually impaired users, ADHD readers, and anyone who absorbs information better through audio. 🌍 Language learners: hear clean pronunciation from neural voices in many languages. 🎧 Audio-first readers: work through long articles without staying locked to the screen. ✅ Key features 🔊 One-click text to speech for articles, emails, docs, and selectable PDFs. 🖱️ Right-click reading for selected text. 🆓 Free browser voices with no signup, email, or card required. ⭐ Pro: 30+ Microsoft neural voices covering major world languages. ⏩ Speed control from 0.5x to 2x. 🔁 Pro audio playback through an offscreen document, so it can continue when the popup closes. ⬇️ Pro MP3 download with a save dialog. 📚 Pro saved reading library on this browser. 🚫 No background page scanning and no automatic reading. 🔒 Privacy The extension reads page text only after your direct action: clicking the popup button, using the context menu, or pasting text yourself. Free browser-voice playback does not send page text to our server. Pro neural-voice playback sends only the text you chose to hear to peakproductivity.online so our proxy can return audio. That text is processed in memory and is not stored. The extension also sends limited pseudonymous usage events, such as first open, read started, paywall shown, or checkout clicked. These events use a random device id and help us understand whether the extension works. They are not tied to the text you read. 🚀 How to start 1️⃣ Install and pin the extension. 2️⃣ Open any article, email, page, or PDF with selectable text. 3️⃣ Click the Read Aloud Pro icon. 4️⃣ Choose whole page, selected text, or paste your own text. 5️⃣ Pick a voice, set the speed, and press Play. 💡 Tips - Use selected-text reading when you only want one section of a page. - For long listening sessions, try a Pro neural voice before downloading audio. - Free reads are capped per session, not per day. You can start another read whenever you want. - MP3 download is best for saving a specific article for offline listening. ❓ Frequently asked questions Q: How is this different from the built-in read-aloud features? A: Browser read-aloud features typically use operating-system voices that sound flat. Read Aloud Pro brings a natural-voice experience with extension controls, MP3 download, and a saved local library. Q: Does it send my browsing history anywhere? A: No. It does not read your full browsing history or other tabs. It only reads text from the current tab after you ask it to, and Pro sends only the requested text for audio generation. Q: Does it work on PDFs? A: Yes, when the PDF is opened in your browser and has selectable text. Scanned-image PDFs need OCR first. Q: What is the difference between Free and Pro? A: Free gives you browser voices with a 5-minute cap per read. Pro adds natural neural voices, removes the length cap, enables MP3 download, and lets you save reads in a local library on this browser. Q: Can I get a refund? A: Yes. Pro has a 30-day refund policy. Email support and we will help. 🛠️ Performance and compatibility - Free mode: browser-native Web Speech API. - Pro mode: HTTPS request to peakproductivity.online, returning MP3 audio. - Works on current Chromium browsers. - Manifest V3 compliant. - No remote JavaScript. - No background polling. 📬 Support Email: support@peakproductivity.online Website: https://peakproductivity.online/read-aloud-pro/ 👉 Read Aloud Pro: natural text to speech for articles, emails, selectable PDFs, and selected text.
