About Read — Article Voice Reader
Read turns the article on your current page into a calm, customizable read-aloud experience.
Open Read from the toolbar or keyboard shortcut to extract the main article, remove surrounding page clutter, and follow each sentence as it is spoken. Switch back to the original webpage at any time without stopping playback, and pause or resume from browser and operating-system media controls.
Features:
- Browser speech that stays on your device
- Optional Kokoro, OpenAI, and Fish cloud voices
- Sentence tracking and word highlighting
- Reading themes, typefaces, alignment, text size, spacing, and width
- Voice, language, speed, pitch, volume, and pause controls
- Focused access to only the page where you explicitly activate Read
Privacy disclosure: Read processes the current page locally to identify its article. Browser voice stays on your device. If you affirmatively enable a cloud voice, only the spoken article chunks and selected voice controls are sent through summary.ainorthstar.tech to the selected TTS provider to generate audio. Read does not send your browsing history, page URL, cookies, form fields, or authentication data. Read has no advertising or analytics.
