Hey everyone! 👋
I read a lot every day for work, so by the time I want to read articles online, I'm already too tired to stare at more text. I figured: why not listen to them instead?
I tried a bunch of apps, but quickly deleted each one. Either:
- Everything was locked behind a ~$30/month subscription (wasn't ready for that).
- Or the voices sounded robotic and painful to listen to.
Since I'm a software engineer, I decided to just build my own solution, a Chrome extension that reads articles out loud in a human-like voice. That's how Qariyo was born.
Some friends liked it too, so I thought: why not make it public?
When I built it, I kept things simple:
- No extra fluff, just does the job
- Easy to use
- No subscriptions, you only pay for what you use
It's still an MVP, but it works well. If you want to try it, I'd love to hear your feedback!
