About Riddi
Riddi turns web articles into natural-sounding speech using local AI models that run directly in your browser.
No cloud TTS service. No API keys. No article text sent to a server for speech generation.
Use Riddi when you want to listen instead of read: long articles, documentation, essays, research, tutorials, or any page where your eyes need a break.
What Riddi does:
• Reads clean article text aloud
Riddi extracts the main content from a page and skips common clutter like navigation, ads, and sidebars.
• Runs locally
Speech is generated on your device with bundled neural TTS models using ONNX Runtime. WebGPU is used when available, with WebAssembly fallback.
• Supports multilingual reading
Riddi uses Supertonic 3 with support for 31 languages. It can detect the page language automatically, or you can choose one manually.
• Lets you choose what to read
Use full-page article playback, or select a specific text block when you only want part of the page.
• Keeps your place visually
The current paragraph is highlighted while speech plays, with word-level highlighting and smooth scrolling.
• Includes built-in voices
Choose from 10 bundled voice styles, adjust playback speed, and tune quality steps.
• Stays out of the way
Use the floating player on the page, or disable it and control playback from the extension popup.
Riddi is built for private, local, distraction-free listening.
