Varterm TTS - Text to Speech

Varterm TTS helps you listen instead of reading walls of text. Use it to read selected text, full web pages, long-form articles, docs, markdown-heavy AI output, a video transcript, and replies in an AI chat, directly in Chrome. ### Why users install Varterm - Listen to a video's transcript instead of watching it, then search that transcript and jump to the moment you need - Hear AI chat replies read out in a voice you picked, as each new reply finishes - Follow the words in a reader panel, search them, and jump to any line - Jump back or ahead, and change voice or speed, without stopping - Markdown-friendly reading for cleaner speech output - Natural cloud voices plus browser built-in voice support - One-click selection reading with floating button and context menu - Keyboard shortcuts for fast read, pause, and stop ### Core Features - Read selected text aloud instantly - Read full page content - Read the transcript of the YouTube video you are watching, with timestamps and sound cues removed - Search that transcript in the reader panel: type a phrase, skip to the hit, click its timestamp to jump the video - Optionally read AI chat replies in your own voice, automatically as each one lands, or from a button on a reply. Off until you turn it on for that site - Reader panel showing the text as it is spoken, with the current passage highlighted - Search the text and jump straight to any line instead of listening through to it - Pause, resume, jump back or ahead, or scrub within the passage being read — from the popup or the panel - Voice and speaking-speed controls in the popup (preset chips from 0.75× to 2×) and behind the panel gear - Context menu action: "Read with Varterm" - Keyboard shortcuts for read, pause, and stop - Markdown stripping for cleaner audio - Long text is read in parts, with no pause between them ### Best for - Talks, lectures, and long videos you would rather hear than watch - Finding one moment in a long transcript without scrubbing the video - Listening to AI answers while you keep working - Docs and technical articles - Accessibility and focus workflows - Hands-free review while multitasking
